Q. How did you discover Wattpad? What is the most memorable moment you have encountered here?
Honestly, I cannot recall how I discovered Wattpad, but I can certainly tell you what my initial thought was when I did. It went along the lines of, "Damn... a website where authors can upload their stuff and interact with readers? How long is this thing online, and why has nobody told me?"
As for the most memorable moment. Hmm. That would have to be when I won a Watty Award for my story ARCHETYPE in 2018. Especially since it was like a chain of most memorable moments, delivered in consecutively more stunning and exhilarating punches. I uploaded and entered the Watty's on a whim that year and didn't expect to win. Imagine my surprise when I saw my name on the Longlist (Pow!), then Shortlist (Pow!), and finally the Watty's. (KO!)
Q. Your book, 'The Harvest Wars', mainly focuses on an antihero character Bran who is desperate to save his friends and the woman he loves. What do you expect when making the relationships like friendships or family bonds between characters impactful and special enough to an antihero like Bran?
[SPOILER ALERT] Well, firstly – and I hope I don't burst anybody's bubble here – I wouldn't actually call Bran an anti-hero but rather an anti-villain. While he commits his share of evil acts, he does not do it with malice or out of the desire to cause evil. In fact, both he and his resurrected comrades, who, after all, were the most beloved and famed heroes of the Scarred Empire, very much retain their personalities.
