I wasn’t always a ‘writer,’ and honestly never thought I’d be one. I’ve always been a reader, though, and I finally said to myself: “if all of these other writers can do it, so can I!”

Turns out, I was wrong — writing was harder than it looked, and I struggled through that first book. However, my editor saved it, and I enjoyed the process enough to jump headfirst into the second one, then the third… and on.

The emotional significance of writing, for me, is simple: writing is cathartic — I tend to write based on my feelings at the moment: a long, winding love story or a short, punchy action scene. It doesn’t always end up in the book, but it’s always helped me work through whatever I might be feeling, in a logical and tactical way.
