She is a big believer of fate and is a sucker for a happy ending. She truly believes that there is a reason why you are reading this right now (apart from the fact that you are awesome!)
Her ultimate goal in life is to live in a house made entirely out of books with her best friend, who also happens to be her fiancé.
...Hogwarts is plan B.
1. What
do you enjoy most about writing?
I enjoy the escape that it provides. It allows
me to fully immerse myself into a different world. I also love talking to
readers about my books - it's an amazing feeling.
2. Tell
us more about your inspiration for April
Showers and April Fools.
I was
working in a school at the time and it made me think back to my own experience
in education, especially my time at University. I wanted to write a book about
a girl who moves away from all of her friends and starts a new life at
University. I couldn't wait to explore her new surroundings, new friends and new
crushes!
3. Are
there any plans for more lovely Karli Perrin stories?
Yes. I'm currently
working on something new which I'm hoping to release this summer. It's
completely different to the April series but that's all I'm going to say for
now ;)
4. When
you’re not writing what do you enjoy most?
I love to read - I'm a huge book
nerd. When I'm taking a break from writing, I usually read around three books a
week. When I was writing/editing April Showers, I didn't read for two months
and it almost killed me!
5. What
books have most influenced your life?
I grew up reading Harry Potter and it
really sparked my interest in reading. I'm also a huge fan of Twilight.
6. What
was the hardest part of writing your book?
Editing. I wrote out of scene order
so it was difficult piecing it all together at the end. April Fools was a lot
easier to edit because I started writing at chapter one and worked until I
reached the end.
7. Where and when do you write your stories?
I
write whenever I get time. I usually get my ideas when I'm driving then write
them down when I get home.
8. How
would you describe your style of writing?
Sarcastic, fun and fast paced.
9. Any
advice for aspiring writers?
Write as often as you can. Writing is a craft -
you get better with practice.
10. If
you could switch places with a character of a book, who would it be and why?
Hermione Granger so I could go to Hogwarts. Gryffindor all the way!
11. If you were shipwrecked on a
desert island what 3 books would you want with you?
Harry Potter, Beautiful
Disaster and The Fault in Our Stars.
12. If you could plan the perfect
holiday, what would it be?
Relaxing on the beach with a good book!
13. Did
you always dream of being a writer?
I always wanted to be a teacher but now all
I want to do is write. It's my dream job.
14. Have you read a book that you
would like to rewrite the ending of?
Allegiant. I will say no more...
15. What are 5 items you never leave home without?
My iPhone,
Kindle, purse, lip balm and chewing gum.
16. Coffee
or tea? Tea. I can't stand coffee.
17. Paperback
or e-reader? I adore my Kindle and eBooks are miles more convenient but
paperbacks will always have a special place in my heart. I love my book shelf.
18. Mountains
or the sea? Sea.
19. Summer
or winter? Summer (although I LOVE Christmas)
20. Sweet
or salty? Sweet
