I do keep a target reader in mind while I’m writing. She’s someone who is mature enough to understand that many of the choices we make influence our lives in more ways than we can anticipate.

It’s about a young girl (me) who’s homeless at 16 but pulls herself out of the gutter and puts herself through college, graduating with honors even though she’s a bit of a party animal; she uses good judgement and manages to not fuck up her life.

Humans are engaged in a seemingly paradoxical quest to devote a ton of intellect toward developing technologies to eliminate the need for said intellect. For example, we can have food delivered to our front door at the touch of a virtual button, which creates less incentive to cook or understand how our food is sourced. Our Dried Voices explores what happens when this quest is extended to the point when humans don’t need to think at all in order to sustain their lives.

I want my work to be easy for everyone to digest – however easy or difficult the topic might be – so that it can have more of an impact. If my writing can’t be understood then I haven’t done my job.

In 2014 Booktrust surveyed 1500 adults and found that 36% give up on books because they get bored. I think we need more high-octane, gripping, blistering-paced reads to reach this demographic. I’m actually part of this demographic. I give up on loads of books because I get bored. I want to write books that no one could ever say are boring.

I don’t know how many other writers do it this way but I see a movie in my head. I see the setting, meet the characters, I hear the dialogue, I watch whole scenes play out, and if I think the movie in my head is good, I start writing it as a book.

Yes. I have never killed any character before, so the first death was really difficult to me. I stopped writing the first book because I didn’t want to do it. In the end, I gathered my courage and did it. It was awful and I was really sad about it, but I did it.
