author of: Flamegrove: A spark ( book one of the Fire Keeper series)
1
A few things, but among them- I love dystopian stories, and also I believe my sister had actually given me the idea of the devices that the people use to make decisions in their society.
2
Since I'm still writing it, I still encounter struggles along the way (as is expected for writing any story!) and my main one is figuring out the little technicalities and complexities of certain things such as their society and how it is managed, life in the prison, etc. Also, it is not easy to map out the future events of the story and such because of how difficult Alex's situation is.
3
I honestly love the characters, and getting to establish and develop them! So much fun :)
4
I've had great feedback so far! A lot of people really enjoy the storyline and the characters, especially the protagonist Alex. Several people have said that they like that it isn't cliché and is unique!
5 ?
Flamegrove: A Spark is the first book of the Firekeeper series!
6
I would say that the main message of the story is that you and your strength are enough to make a difference, and it is so important to stand up, use your voice, and fight for what you believe in and what is right. Of course there are other important [smaller] messages throughout as well, like never losing hope and being a leader.
7
The best piece of advice I could give would be to make sure that whatever it is you are
writing, you are passionate about it!! Because you are the only one who can give your
story life, emotion, and truth (in the actual telling of it at least).
Oh yes, absolutely! Alex is really based off of myself and a lot of my qualities- notably the strong will, ambition, and refusal to give up on what is important. In some certain scenarios though she is so incredibly brave and strong, and I'm not sure if I'd be the same- I definitely admire her character in that way!

The storyline is unique and so are the characters! Also, the characters are carefully designed and I intend to have great character development. :)
10
Definitely the next book! And maybe another book in the series? I'm not totally sure yet, but I'm excited to see where this series goes!!
