Five Questions[edit]

WHAT'S BEEN KEEPING YOU AWAKE? the sense that I am a fraud. That I only got my publishing deal because my father was a hot shot writer. That all those publishing houses that passed on him just wanted a piece of his name. Even though I write under a pseudonym, combining two of my favourite characters, everyone knows. And I have a deadline and no inspiration. Plus I made up a bad guy for my last story....and he scares me.

WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO YOU? I sat down to work on the latest draft of my novel. It's been a battle, almost fighting with the characters to get the story through. I let him. Just sat back and let the story flow. I wrote through the night and got more done than I've ever managed.

WHAT'S ON THE SURFACE? an attractive bespectacled young woman in her late twenties early thirties. Usually with a moelskin notebook and a fountain pen. She dump writes, constantly. Scribbling fragments of dialogue, plot, characters.

WHAT LIES BENEATH? A determination that what she writes next will be better than what came before. That every book is better than her father's. A determination not to repeat the mistakes and addictions of her father.

WHAT IS YOUR PATH? To be better than her father. To have someone described as the next Lucy Hale. To find the sort of self worth and belief that comes from achievement.


Sixth Question[edit]

WHO ARE YOU DESCENDED FROM, AND WHAT WERE THEIR TALENTS? I am descended from the Crimson Prince, who would have been King. He once ruled an area outside of the Mad City.

He is imprisoned in the Dark Tower for his treason.
