3. Do you have plans for a new book? Is this book part of a series?
When I first began to write The Rising Moon, I didn't have plans to make it into a series but as the story grew and the characters began to develop, I decided to make it into a series. I'm currently working on book two.

4. What or who inspired you to start writing?

Yes

6. How did you come up with the cover? Who designed the cover of your book?

And what are your thoughts on book trailers?
Book trailers are an awesome way to introduce your book to the public.

8. Do you prefer e-books, paperbacks, hardcovers or audiobooks?
I'm an old-fashioned kind of girl so I prefer paperback/ hardcovers…but the easy accessibility of e-books have been beginning to grow on me.

Yes.

10. Have you ever read a book just based on its cover?
Sure. I'm sure we've all done it! ^-^

11. What book are you reading at the moment? And in what format?

Follow your heart and your dream.

And what’s the best advice that you have been given when it comes to writing?
My favorite quote for writers: "If there's a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it." ~Toni Morrison
