Not that I know of, but I suppose it's always a possibility! Nice to e-meet you.

First... that's a really hard question, because there's so many ships that I love dearly. Recent books I've read? Cath and Jest in Heartless. Love them both to peices. But all time favourite fictional couple? Anne and Gilbert. That series has a special place in my childhood heart.

Right now actually! I'm about halfway through writing it... And I'll have more updates as it progresses :)

The idea for Frozen Flames actually came from a dream. It was a kick-butt dream with agents and superpowers so much so that when I woke up, I was literally like 'I know what I'm going to write next'.

Most of the time I listen to music while I write... movie soundtracks are a great inspiration. Everything just gets so much more intense when you're listening to the Dark Knight Rises soundtrack and writing a chase scene. :P
But reading, reading is definitely the best inspiration. Reading books makes you a better writer. And hey, who doesn't love reading?

I do read a lot. A ton actually. It's what inspired me to write. Books are amazing. Totally amazing. Little windows to different worlds. I love them. As far as God talk, well yes. I think there is a God. If you want to discuss, message me. I'm more than willing to talk about it. :)

My main advice? Write. That's what matters. Once you have found a passion for it, just do what you love. Who knows, you may get a novel finished, and if you want to go further, shoot for the stars. Look into publishing. Never doubt that you can do it. It is possible. You just have to dream big.

Awesome! Well... to be honest, reading inspired me to write. I loved reading from the second I could get my hands on my first book, and have been an avid reader since. I have always wanted to spin my own stories, and create a world like so many of the authors I admire, and now I finally have. When I held the first copy of my book in my hands, I just stared at it, not quite sure how to feel. I wanted to laugh, cry, scream, and dance all at once, so I just stared. Afterwards, I did end up dancing and screaming. :) I knew I wanted to write for quite a while. I loved writing short stories, and exchanging stories with friends. I always hoped to write a novel some day. Though I think the real passion started in grade four.

I am working on writing the sequel to both The Last Pages(June 2014), and Frozen Flames (Oct 2014). As well as working on editing Frozen Flames itself.

I go over the chapter I'm stuck on, erase it completely, and change it so that something completely unexpected and exciting happens. Then I want to continue writing to find out what happens next.

There is never a book with a bad ending. Every book happens just the way you want it to. You get to make the characters do what you want. You get to build worlds. And its awesome.
