Frequently Asked Questions:Six kids!?!?! Wow! Did you give birth to all of them? |
| How did you become a single mom? My husband was in a single engine plane crash in January of 2006. He suffered burn injuries and died five weeks later on March 7.Why did you decide to become an author? I’ve always written since I started my first novel in the fourth grade. I made it to page 70 on my wide ruled spiral notebook before I stopped. I continued to write in high school and attempted several novels in my twenties before life got in the way of writing. I rediscovered my love of writing when I started my blog There’s Always Room for One More. In the fall of 2009, I realized I wasn’t getting any younger and it was now or never so I participated in NaNoWriMo. I was off and running!Chosen and Hunted of The Chosen series and Here from my YA On the Otherside are dark and angsty. Twenty-Eight and a Half Wishes is quirky and funny. How can you write such extremes? I’m a Gemini. Enough said. Actually, I like both. I hope I never have to pick one or the other. Writing dark and then light and funny is a good balance. Twenty-Eight and a Half Wishes more like my family blog There’s Always Room for One More. When is Sacrifice (The Chosen #3) coming out? When is There the next On the Otherside coming out? |
