I've been a big fan of your writing for a while, specifically of Eliza and Her Monsters! (Although Made up up is also incredible!). I was just wondering, what fandoms have you been in, and what effects have those fandoms had on your writing? Thank you and have a great day! :)
Francesca Zappia
I've been in so many fandoms throughout my life, it's hard to list them all! Mostly I lurk (like Eliza...) and just enjoy the conversations and art that other people have made, but they absolutely have influenced my own writing. I keep thinking about Stargate SG-1 as a write this. The idea of exploration, the team comp, the humor, the themes, the Love of My Life (DANIEL 😍)—you can find pieces of all of these in my books, or at least my fantasy and sci-fi books, most of which aren't published yet.

First of all I love your book and am especially interested in the mental illness aspect of it, so I have two questions for you. What made you incorporate Alexithymia into Miles' character in addition to Alex's mental illness? Also, due to the nature of Alexithymia and the sufferers inability to 'recognise' emotions, do you personally believe it's possible that a person suffering from this disease can fall in love?

Hi! I just read Eliza and her Monsters, and I absolutely loved it! Why are two different book covers? Did you ever thought of making a sequel to that book? I like how it starts simple, plain, and eventually escalates to emotional rollercoaster. I don't feel like characters in stories, but this was different. Especially when Eliza thought a lot about Wellhouse Turn, and Wallace came. How did you do this? Thanks!
