Goodreads asked Melanie Sarao:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Melanie Sarao I think for me, the best thing about being a writer is creating a world of your own! You get to create the kind of place you would (or wouldn't ) want to be in. There have been times when my writer's voice was guiding me one direction but the emotional female that I am didn't want to go there. It turned out just right!
I also like to add bits of me into each character. For example, my peasant girl is a tough cookie, I created a woman like the one I would like to become. There is another character that is heavily influenced by some of the same feelings I can identify with. I may not be strong but my characters are and they are a part of me!
