Author Interview

When did you know you wanted to become an author?

I knew from the age of 14 that I wanted to be an Author and I even told my English teacher that was what I wanted to be. I had been given an assignment in English where we had to do a short story and I totally loved writing it and decided there and then I would love to have my own work in print.

I had read a few school stories and I had found out that all the stories started in the same school and ended in the same school.   I wanted to try and change that up a bit by having the first school close down, and even though the second school is basically the same as the first it had moved places. I did think about changing the school name but decided against it when I got into the plotline for the series.

It took four years to write but I was also working on the sequel at the same time. I started it in 2009 and ended it at the start of this year. I also had to write around work at the same time so that put me back a bit as well.

The most challenging part was the Mystery in the book. I must have gone 10 different ways before I decided to go with the way I chose. At first as I said the school was going to close down and then a new school was going to take over and that was going to be involved in the Mystery but I decided against it in the end.

Another way I was thinking of going was the school would actually stay at the ground it was on, but then I thought about it and said no my aim was to move the school. So as you can see I had to think of how to introduce the Mystery to Lakeview.

My writing goal is to get the second in the series written and sent to the Publisher by June/July next year,  and I am also aiming on writing a few small stories. But I haven’t really decided what I’ll do with them or if I’ll just write the short stories for fun.

I am currently working on the second of the series that will start off where this one ends.   I currently haven’t got a title for the work but I will tell you that the Mystery in the first one will continue in the second one and there will be a few twists and turns, and one of Samantha’s friends Olivia will find out something about her father’s work that she didn’t want to know.
