Hi Cath! I am currently working on getting a copy available on Nook! Unfortunately, since we operate from Canada they initially did now allow Canadians to upload their content directly onto Nook onto onto Kobo so I'm looking for a work-around now I'll be sure to post an update!

Only one? No, I'm kidding. The worst thing about being a writer, and probably just being a human being in general, is the fact that not everyone is going to like you or your work. It's particularly hard when you're a Cancer like me. We are overly sensitive haha but I find, that if you can find constructive words in your criticism than it can actually help make you better.

Hi Jackie, unfortunately, I have taken quite ill over the past few weeks and haven't been able to get to the post office. I am beginning the mend now and will be getting the copies in the post this week! Very sorry to keep you waiting.

Thank you so much :) and I believe YA is really for everyone! Yes Fantasy has always been my favorite to write, and that's probably because it's also my favorite to read. I love taking an urban setting and adding the mystery of paranormal and fantastical aspects. Even when I try to write a contemporary piece it usually morphs itself into some sort of fantasy story by the end!

Music, Reading other work, just writing. Often times I find my best ideas for a project come once I begin work on another one.

The idea for my most recent book, AWAKENING, actually was inspired by my Irish heritage. I am fascinated with history, folklore and magic and I thought, what if I could combine all of this into a contemporary setting. All of this actually came much later once I was completed a first draft of the manuscript I went back and changed the entire thing to include these aspects.

Just keep writing. If you have a story to tell, there is someone out there who is waiting to read it. The only thing you can do is practice, keep writing until you have a complete story revise and polish until you can be proud of your work.

Creating a story. Escaping into your own little reality and being in control of the way something unfolds. It can also be the worst part of being a writer because you know that you have the control to change everything that sometimes you never want to finish revisions.

I don't get a lot of writer's block to the point where I cannot write anything, but sometimes I do find myself needing a break from a particular story. This may sound strange but I usually read, or watch a film or show. Observing other stories come to life can sometimes trigger my own back into gear. Also if I'm blocked with one particular story, I find it best to start concentrating on another to give my mind a break.
