Tell us about yourself.:
I am a mystery and thriller fiction writer. I have written two books that are published. They are titled – Zoey's Memory and Everything Led Me to You.
While I am not writing, I enjoy being at the beach, reading, rollerblading, and modeling professionally.
Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?:
I grew up in South Florida. I became inspired to start writing when I began reading books as a teenager. I enjoyed escaping from reality in a book (and still do to this day)
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don't know if this is unusual or not, but I like to highlight the sentences that I have written and am not so sure about in bold during my writing process. That way, while I am going through my manuscript the next time, it is easier for me to fix or re-write those sentences to fit into the story better.
What authors have influenced you?
I grew up in South Florida. I became inspired to start writing when I began reading books as a teenager. I enjoyed escaping from reality in a book (and still do to this day)
Do you have any advice for new authors?
I've published two books so I am relatively new myself. The only advice I can give, is to just do your research before going straight into the publishing process. There is tons of content out on the internet that helps with learning how to write and publish. Utilize as many resources as you want and can.
What is the best advice you have ever been given?
The best advice that I have been given is life is short. If you have something that you want to accomplish and you have the means to accomplish it, then why wait?
What are you reading now?
I am about to dive into One of Us is Lying by Karen M.Mcmanus
What’s your biggest weakness?
My biggest weakness is doubting myself! There are many moments when I question my writing. I know other writers do it too and I am not alone!
What is your favorite book of all time?
It's kind of a funny story by Ned Vizzini.
When you’re not writing, how do you like to spend your time?
While I am not writing, I enjoy being at the beach, reading, rollerblading, and modeling professionally.
Do you remember the first story you ever read, and the impact it had on you?
The first book that I can remember reading, was A series of Unfortunate events. I can vividly remember reading the first one in school when I was a child, then going home to read the rest of the books before reading them in school with everyone else. I believe that series got me into reading!
What has inspired you and your writing style?
Books written by my favorite authors are what have inspired me to write my own stories.
What are you working on now?
I am currently working on a stalker-themed thriller. It is not titled as I just started the writing process so I cannot give out much detail about it just yet. However, I do plan to release it by the end of next year.
What is your favorite method for promoting your work?
So far, my best method for promoting my books has consisted of Instagram and word of mouth.
What’s next for you as a writer?
While I will keep writing standalone novels in the mystery and thriller categories, I plan to write a young adult mystery three-book series in the future as well.
How well do you work under pressure?
I think I work better because having a deadline or just more things to do o my list, in general, makes me focus better on my main task.
How do you decide what tone to use with a particular piece of writing?
I believe that it depends on the characters and category of the book.
If you could share one thing with your fans, what would that be?
I just want to share that I am grateful for everyone who supports me, whether by sharing, buying, or reading my books! I really am so happy that I have such great support!
