My inspiration for writing SAVING HAMLET was my love of Shakespeare, my own high school theatre experience, and a sincere desire to be able to time travel! I had the idea for Emma to time travel to Elizabethan England first, and then the cast of characters appeared as I began writing the first chapters. I love them all. Thank you for your question! :)

My cat is a grumpy lump of miracles. Thank you for asking.

I have to say Saving Hamlet's main, POV character, Emma Allen. I drew a lot on my high school experiences and headspace to write her. Lots of anxiety, but wanting to prove myself and be accepted. And let's be honest: pretty sarcastic. Emma and I have some key differences though, and I think I put other parts of high school me into Lulu and Stanley, and even Brandon and Josh.
And, it should be said, by the time I was stage managing in college, I was much more like grumpy Wick (the Globe's stage manager) when in the theatre. xD
