1) What inspired the idea of your story? 

 The story is weirdly inspired by a bunch of true-life events. But I'm not saying which ones! 


 2) What's something you struggled with your story? 

I want the pacing of this book to be a bit faster with this book and my characters seemed to be pulling me to dump all of the secrets right up front. It was hard to do that but I've very happy that I did.


 3) What has been the overall response of your story been from your readers? 

The overall response has been positive. As a new writer, gaining a few more dedicated, interactive readers to an ongoing story is a huge thrill! 


 4) What did you enjoy writing most in your story?

 Strangely enough, the prologue. I really like the set of powers I gave my main character and family time is the best for me. 


 5) Is your story a stand alone novel or a piece of a series?

 Hidden in Plain Sight is a standalone story that comes after my first book. So, I would consider it a standalone in a series. Is that a thing?


6) What would you like your readers to take away from your story?

 Although the story is a slightly paranormal fantasy, one of the central themes is bullying. So to all my readers: Be yourself. Only you can do you and you do it amazingly.


7) What advice would you provide to fellow writers, when it comes to focusing on their own story? 

Don't let anyone tell you that you can't. It's your story. Only you can tell it! 


 8) Does your main character share any similarities to yourself?

 The main character in Hidden in Plain Sight loves computer games and connecting with people online. Yeah, we are pretty similar in that way.


9) What is something in your story you believe would draw in new readers? 

 This story is mixing it all up. Paranormal (Vampire/werewolf/witch)? Check. That awkward girl and a solid character arc? Check. Lots of hot guys? Check. Mystery? Check. Hot CEO? Check. Lots of secret dropping? Check. Beautiful puzzle and lots of fun? Hopefully!


10) Do you have any other future projects?

 Right now my first book has spun off a few ideas and one, in particular, seems to be gaining traction in my brain. After that, I am hoping to write a couple of short stories, so we shall see!
