My aunt lives on Fox Hill Rd, and I thought what a perfect name for a trilogy. Also, they love Halloween as well. My aunt and mother are exact twins, so what more can I say?

6. Do you have an all-time favorite novel?

My all-time favorite novel is The Three Musketeers Alexzander Dumas

7. What motivated you to write this story?

My motivation to write this was that in a generation of technology i'm 20 years old and I see myself as old-fashioned, to write with a pen and paper to still use the gift of creativity and imagination, as well as I'm still a child in my heart.

8. If you could have dinner with one person (dead or alive), who would that be?

If I could have dinner with someone, it would be Leonardo da Vinci

9. Apart from writing, what else are you passionate about?

My other passions are playing the piano, knitting, creating, painting, woodworking, andabout mostly everything that involves your mind and hands

10. What influenced you to enter your story to get performed?

I've entered many competitions as well as awards. I started writing when I was sixteen, and I wrote my first children's picture book series, with the third coming out, but on the side of that, I wrote stories. My greatest gift was to create stories. Some called me a liar because of all the stories that I came up with, but it was then that I saw my love and passion for being an author. When I saw that everyone's a winner, I knew that this was a true writing festival for authors who put so much love into words, instead of all the festivals I've been kicked out of because I'm a self-published author or because I haven't got a professional representative. I feel like you guys help the little guys out there, so thank you.

11. Any advice or tips you'd like to pass on to other writers?

I'm just starting my career as an author, but I do have some advice. I had a dream that became a reality, and many people, even from my family, told me that it was impossible. Well, my best supporter was my father, as well as I. So always keep that child in you because remember you were a kid before you came, an adult. My best time for creativity and imagination is taking a walk through the park and going on the swing, be the kid who was there.
