Thank you for asking Bryce, I think I'll wait a bit and see if this book sells well. It's expensive to write a book, and I made the mistake of making several of my books series and people didn't read the other books. But if this book sells well I will definitely consider it.

Well, Hogwarts of course! JK Rowling built the most intriguing magical world ever. I'm waiting for my letter.

I got hooked on Kiera Cass books. I listen to books in my car and I listened to all five of her Selection series. Then I just finished, The Siren. What I like about her books is that there is an obvious element of romance, but it's not really the main thread of the book. She has so many interesting things going on that it draws you in. She is a great writer.

It's funny what catches my attention. Usually it's a what if question: " What if a boy started harassing a girl sexually over Snapchat? What would she do? Would she give in or speak out? These questions lead to my book coming out soon, Snapped, but many of my books start with questions.

I'm about to release a new book called, Snapped about Snapchat gone wrong. It's a really good read. Can't wait. #YA

The absolute best is when a fan writes to you and tell you they like your book or that they have read it three times! Those are the best days.

I don't stress over it. I feel like sometimes we need to take a break from what we are writing, maybe write something else for awhile or do something new. The muse won't leave you...be patient.

Join a writer's group and get in a critique group! Your friends and family will love your book but strangers will tell you the truth. There is nothing more valuable!

I wrote Snapped after reading an article about how boys would ask a girl to send them a snap of their breasts. If they did, they'd be labeled a ho and if they did not, the boys would post a pic of someone else's breasts and say it of that girl. It was the perfect catch 22. I wanted to expose the cyberbullying that is happening and give those bullied some ideas for finding ways to speak out against it. I also wanted bullies to know the potential consequences. And I wanted girls to know that there are good guys out there too and not to lose hope.
