How has living in various places –  Peru, Austria, Malaysia, New Zealand affected your writing? Do you think travel helps to inspire your work?

Our family traveled. In a car, a small car with 6 people. We drove from Alaska to Costa Rica. We did not get hotels. We did stop at all the zoos. I believe as you live in many cultures you can discover the beauty of each one. 

​

2.Who or what inspired you to write short stories and when did you begin writing?

I began to write as a way to quietly express myself. In a busy household, there was often not a lot of time to share my thoughts. 

3.What are books or authors that have made an impact on you?

The Bible. A wrinkle in Time read to me by my 5th grade teacher, Francine Rivers-The Last Sin Eater

4. Do you have a writing routine and what is your workspace like?

My goal is to write on a daily basis. It is important for me to spill my guts about my life and clear the debris in order to write about the current projects. I often hear new ideas as I wake up. I keep paper and pen to draw and write cryptic notes by my bed. 

5.Can you share something about the book, or about you, that readers won’t know.

I started writing Skin Hunger to have a project as I began traveling around the world. I lost track of what month it was and I decided I needed to have something to keep as a grounding point for the trip.
