Favorite reads?
I love everything YA, but I also have a soft spot for food & travel memoirs.
Inspirations for the book?
A random thought. What if I could've heard people's thoughts in high school?
Did you know you wanted to be an author when you were little?
No. I was a crazy storyteller when I was little but I wanted to be a doctor, an astronaut, or an astronaut doctor.
Pet Peeves?
Okay this is a weird one. I hate it when you pay for something with cash and the cashier hands you your change on top of your bills. I always drop my change!
Chocolate or Peanut Butter?
Both of them together.
What's the weirdest thing you've ever done?
That probably depends on who you ask! But something weird about me is I sleep better on a floor than I do in a bed.
Is there a soundtrack to the book/Favorite music?
There isn't though I've thought about putting one together. When I wrote THOUGHTLESS, I listened to a lot of music by The Sounds.
Do you need anything to write?
Noise! I can't write in absolute silence.
How long do you write on any average day?
When I'm writing a first draft I write as much as I can until it's finished. When I edit, usually 2-4 hours a day.
Give us the number one reason to read your book.
You'll be up all night! Okay, maybe not all of you. But you'll definitely be entertained.
