When did you first know you wanted to be a writer?
I’ve always written – since I was a child. My first poem was published at the age of seven, and I wrote my first ‘book’ when I was 10, so I guess it’s been a lifelong love. I actually wanted to be a graphic designer through most of my teens… it wasn’t until I had my first magazine article published at 19 that I knew without a doubt that writing was what I wanted to do. It would take me another 20 years to begin getting serious about children’s books, though.
What was your road to publication like?

Reading is relaxing. I'm in my own little world. I travel to the stars & to the past all from the comfort of my couch.
