If you’ve written 5 novels already, how come you haven’t published any of them?

The first 2 were written when I was in middle school. I think you can guess why.

The third was in high school. That was a mess.

The fourth was in college, and although it got 4 full requests, it was a good learning experience. The fifth was also in college, which I consider my strongest, but it dealt with very sensitive issues and is currently shelved. When I go back to read it, I feel like throwing up. That’s how bad it was.

Do you have an agent?

I’m afraid I do not. But if there is one interested in me, do forward them my way.

Where does your inspiration come from?

It’s unpredictable. It can be from images I stumble across on Pinterest and Tumblr, music I listen to, facts from my history and science textbooks, people I have interacted with, the works of other writers and visual artists, etc. Sometimes I see interesting things or jot down ideas and store them away for later. I’m quite a pack rat, both a blessing and a curse.
