ONE OF MY FAVORITE QUOTES: “Don’t tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.” -Anton Chekhov
JAIME GUERARD’S QUESTIONS FOR ME:
Who is your favorite author? My favorite author is Cornelia Funke. She has written several amazing books and series that I loved reading! My all time favorite series is the Inkheart Trilogy, which Cornelia Funke wrote.
What is your favorite quote? ““You can spend minutes, hours, days, weeks, or even months over-analyzing a situation; trying to put the pieces together, justifying what could've, would've happened... or you can just leave the pieces on the floor and move the f--- on.”
What type of genre do you like to read? Why? I love to read Young Adult Fantasy and paranormal! These are my favorite genres because as a reader, you are able to get lost in the magical world created by an author. You can closer your eyes and picture yourself there. It is a truly euphoric experience!

How long have you been writing? I loved writing as a young child; however, I didn’t seriously start writing until May of 2012.
Who has inspired you throughout your life? My family, loved ones, and other authors have inspired me throughout my life.
What is one word to describe your personality? Motivated! If I set a goal, chances are extremely good that I’m going to reach that goal!
What is your favorite book? Why? My favorite book is Inkheart. Cornelia Funk does an amazing job creating a unique and intriguing story that draws the reader in! I sped through all 560 pages of this book and couldn’t wait to get my hands on the sequel! Love, love, LOVE this book, author, and series! Read it!
Life’s to short for… Trying to keep up with the Jones!
What is your desert island food (you only get one choice)? Banana Cream Pie! YUM!
If you could have one celebrity on your speed dial, who would it be and why? Amanda Hocking. She would be an excellent friend to bounce writing ideas off of and to talk to for inspiration!
