How or why did you decide to become a writer?
Well, I had always had an innate talent for writing. But at the age of 12, still not a big reader I read my first full length novel, Interview with a Vampire. This book changed my life. I became obsessed with vampires, wanted to read all of Anne Rice’s novels and watch as many vampire movies that I could get my hands on. I knew that I wanted to write my own books and live in my own fantasy world of vampires in my mind. This started my journey to become a writer.
