I am easily inspired. Movies and books usually inspire me the most.

3. Do you have a specific writing style?

I don't think so.

I don't know. I find it a bit challenging to come up with good, attractive titles, but I try my best! It takes me time to think of them.

5. Is there a message in your novel that you want readers to grasp?

There are messages in every novel so yes, mine have messages too!

6. How much of your writing is realistic?

It depends on the story but there are a lot of realistic parts in my stories.

Books by John Green and Nicholas Sparks.
