When did you first start writing?
I started writing when I was nine. Before that, I had all these stories in my head and nowhere to put them! I finished my first book when I was twelve and had several dozen others in the process at that point. I also wrote poetry early on, which I still do off and on.
What's the story behind your latest book?
I write quickly and have multiple books I’m releasing this year, so I’ll tell you about one of the series, “History Interrupted,” I’m about to finish up! It’s a romantic time travel adventure, where the heroine is sent further back in time in each of the four episodes. I named each book after the general parts of the world where she ends up: West, East, North, and South. The fourth book will be released late this summer/early fall.
I’ve always been fascinated with history, and this was an opportunity to combine my love of writing fiction with my love of imagining what life was like during those time periods. We know a lot about history in terms of general events and major players, but we don’t know details of most of those worlds and the day-to-day lives of those people living within them. It’s fun to imagine!
