I'd love to visit Maggie Stiefvater's world from her brilliant book the Scorpio Races. That island was written so vividly that I can see it perfectly. I'd love to see the water horses and eat November Cakes in the village during the festival. It would be great to visit... and then leave again for safer shores.

Station Eleven (for the third time), Hidden Figures, The Hate U Give, and anything horse-related that crosses my path. :)

Jamie and Claire because age and adversity only strengthened their love :)

The characters come into my head first, fully formed and demanding that their stories be told. My job is to flesh our their stories, fill in all the little details and add richness and clarity to their tales.

Start now! You never know what life is going to throw at you. It's a steep learning curve to get to the point of finishing and editing your first novel and actually getting it published. The sooner you start, the better.

It just happens. Usually when I'm doing farm chores outside far away from my laptop or a pen and paper. Parts of stories or characters pop into my head and sort of play out like a movie. Then I just have to rush in and write everything down or I'll forget it.

I'm currently working on the second and third books in the Carolina Brown series. After that I have a few projects in mind that I'm really excited about. I honestly should have started writing sooner much earlier in my life. Now I have this back-log of stories clamouring to get out ha ha

Writing is like being able to "play pretend" again like little kids do. I get to make up my own worlds, create characters and let them have fabulous adventures all from the comfort of my own home. Even though my characters face danger and personal challenges I also get to make them all have happy endings... that's a must. :)
