My Heart is The Tempest Q&A Session 3

A detail from the cover of my book My Heart is The Tempest

What inspired you to write My Heart Is The Tempest?

Shakespeare’s The Tempest is what my book takes direct inspiration from, but I also drew elements from my own experience as a teenage girl bullied by her peers for being perceived as somehow “different” from them. I wanted to combine these two things, a literary favourite and something from my past, and see where the journey might take me.
