Fellow indie author Mary Pat Hyland asked me to be part of The Next Big Thing Blog Tour. It’s a fun Q&A wander through the web to get to know new authors through their blogs. First of all, thanks again to the wonderful Mary Pat Hyland for asking me to participate. Be sure to visit her blog to learn about her works.
Q&A
What is the working title of your next book?
Found: Cinderella's Secret Diaries (Book 3)
Where did the idea come from for the book?
In reading to my young daughter each night before bed, I started getting really tired of seeing how powerless the Disney princesses were so I decided to do something about it and write my own series.
What genre does your book fall under?
Young adult fantasy.
Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?
Cinderella: Juno Temple
What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?
What truly happened to Cinderella after she married the prince.
Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency?
It will be self-published, like my previous novels.

Book 1 took me more than 9 months to write.
What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?

Who or What inspired you to write this book?
My daughter inspired me to write the series. I wanted her to grow up to read a book about a young woman who makes mistakes, struggles, but never gives up on trying to grow and be a better person.
What else about your book might pique the reader’s interest?
People have expected the book to follow the classic fairytale and have been surprised at how imaginative and dark the storyline of the first book becomes.
