1 what inspired the idea of your story?

 I was going through a lot of stuff at home and felt quite broken myself, and so based the character a little bit on myself - but also I really enjoy writing werewolf stories

 2 what was something you struggled with for your story? 

 sometimes I struggled with carrying on writing. I loved writing the story and had many ideas but because of the stuff I was going through at home, I did struggle finding the motivation to write 

3 what has been the overall response of your story been from your readers?

 it's been a really good overall response from the readers, I receive so many lovely comments from my readers who say they enjoy the story. Some have requested a sequel too! 

 4 what did you enjoy writing most about your story? 

I really enjoyed writing the character development of my main character Nova. Without giving too much away, she changed in a really big but beautiful way 

5 is your story a stand alone novel or a piece of a series?

it is a stand alone novel, and I believe it'll stay that way

 6 what would you like your readers to take away from your story?

well, if you feel "broken" or are going through something really bad, there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. In a world full of bad people, there are still good people who will be there for you. And just to love yourself rather than hate yourself - which I've now just managed to finally start doing myself

 7 what advice would you provide to fellow writers, when it comes to focusing on their own story?

 keep going and don't give up. It's important not to let yourself get demotivated which can be hard but you need to persevere because the rewards are, well, rewarding! Also, yes listen to constructive criticism but don't let the readers write your whole story. Stick to YOUR plans for the story  

 8 does your main character share any similarities to yourself? 

Oh yes, massively. She was based on myself. A lot of her feelings in the story and how she viewed herself was exactly how I viewed myself at the time 

9 what's something of your story, you believe would draw in new readers?

 I personally think it's a beautiful story. There's a few twists and turns throughout her journey to self love but also in learning how to love herself, she learns to accept love from others which I think is lovely and beautiful 

 10 do you have any future projects?

 yes, I am forever working on ideas that I have (ooh, I'm venturing into vampires!)
