Where Do you get your ideas?

Driving, listening to music, paying attention to people and the world around me. I latch on to a sight, a person, or a headline that captures my interest and build a story around it.

are you a plotter or a pantser?

A bit of both. It’s always wiser to plot, but I’m the worst at taking my own advice. When you pants, there’s often a lot more heavy lifting in the editing process.

Who are some of your favourite authors?

There are SO many, but here are a few i love: A.S. King, Derek Milman, Lev AC Rosen, Kelly Devos, David Levithan, Andrew Smith, Nicola Yoon, John Green, Hannah Moskowitz,

do you have any advice for aspiring writers?

Read critically. Really think about what worked or didn’t in stories or movies and why. Scriptshadow was a great resource for me, even if you don’t write scripts.

Find a critique partner to swap work with.

Tell the truth on the page.

Don’t give up.

Will Into the deep blue have a sequel?

Blue is very much a standalone, but of course I couldn't stop thinking about what happens next for Fiona and Nick, so the threads of plot for a sequel exist. You never know!
