I was going through a lot of stuff at home and felt quite broken myself, and so based the character a little bit on myself - but also I really enjoy writing werewolf stories

sometimes I struggled with carrying on writing. I loved writing the story and had many ideas but because of the stuff I was going through at home, I did struggle finding the motivation to write

it's been a really good overall response from the readers, I receive so many lovely comments from my readers who say they enjoy the story. Some have requested a sequel too!

I really enjoyed writing the character development of my main character Nova. Without giving too much away, she changed in a really big but beautiful way

it is a stand alone novel, and I believe it'll stay that way

well, if you feel "broken" or are going through something really bad, there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. In a world full of bad people, there are still good people who will be there for you. And just to love yourself rather than hate yourself - which I've now just managed to finally start doing myself

keep going and don't give up. It's important not to let yourself get demotivated which can be hard but you need to persevere because the rewards are, well, rewarding! Also, yes listen to constructive criticism but don't let the readers write your whole story. Stick to YOUR plans for the story

Oh yes, massively. She was based on myself. A lot of her feelings in the story and how she viewed herself was exactly how I viewed myself at the time

I personally think it's a beautiful story. There's a few twists and turns throughout her journey to self love but also in learning how to love herself, she learns to accept love from others which I think is lovely and beautiful

yes, I am forever working on ideas that I have (ooh, I'm venturing into vampires!)
