Interview with Jessica Samuels

Published 2021-06-13.
What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
I love writing period, and the one thing that can make it better is seeing people resonate with my work and characters. I love bringing worlds alive by creating a realistic and fantastic world for people to explore. Even I have fun exploring it.
When did you first start writing?
I first started writing in the fifth grade, and my first story was me in the Mummy Returns. I called my character The Adventurer, and I have been writing ever since I took Creative Writing in the tenth grade, and some creative writing courses in college. I have been writing ever since it took me four years to finish a novel I started in the 8th grade originally called The Story of Kitty Starfire which evolved to Blood Fire and Moon Watch with the main characters name changing to Serena Saban. I plan on revamping it into a New Adult novel, and we will see the return of Scarlet Summers and Dante.
When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
I read books and play video games with friends sometimes I stream games. I also film Youtube videos about writing, books, food, and record the game play!

Yes R L Stein and LJ Smith books and it made me want to write like them!
