Interview:
Let’s
start with your writing routine. Do you have a particular place you like to
settle in to write?
I usually start with a snack and music, sometimes I
spend a few minutes daydreaming about my characters and what I have planned for
them… then I dive into my manuscript! My favorite place to write is on my sofa,
tucked into the corner with my laptop, and I’m big on having a steady supply of
tea and cookies within reach. I tend to snack a LOT while writing, but it
balances out because I end up forgetting to eat during revisions.
In the novel,
the three main characters seem very different. How would you describe them? Was
writing in three points of view a challenge?
I
enjoyed the challenge of viewing the world through each of my character’s eyes.
Julia is sarcastic, outspoken, protective, and impulsive. Angie is steady,
polite, thoughtful, and reserved. Kaitlyn is contemptuous, cynical, guarded,
and fearless. They each have flaws and strengths that play into their
relationship. I wanted to see if three girls who were so dissimilar could
overcome their differences and, if so, would their experiences change them?
What would their motivations be? Would they cooperate for the good of the
world? For their own agendas? For personal gain? What about loyalty to one
another? It was fascinating to me to think about how the girls would react to
an existence that forced them to unite, and I loved seeing each of them grow.
Do
any of the characters personalities resemble your own, or people you know?
Even though I created the main characters as their
own people, I can’t help but infuse pieces of myself, and the experiences I’ve
had, in every character I write. Because of this, I would say that I can relate
to each of them.a Rafflecopter giveaway
