1. What’s the most unusual place you’ve ever found inspiration for a story?
I tend to find inspiration in the most random places, but one memorable example is in my dreams! There's an infamous scene in Unhinged involving a morgue. Strangely enough, I dreamt of that scene and woke up really confused before rushing to write it down!
2. If you could collaborate on a book with any author, living or dead, who would it be, and what would the book be about?
As a dark romance Booktok girlie, I think collaborating with anyone who also writes via a menu would be fun! I love writing cliffhangers so I think working with someone who also loves to edge the readers would be so chaotic and fun.
3. What’s a quirky or unusual fact about you that most of your readers wouldn’t know? I broke my ankle playing sport, got up and finished the game (and somehow won). And continued playing for 7 years before I found out it was broken during reconstruction surgery.
4. What was your fav signing event you attended and why?
Personally, I've loved all the signings I've been to! Each event was tailored so differently that they all stand out individually. I just love travelling and meeting readers at all the events!
5. What are you currently reading? Any book recommendations?
I'm currently reading Remember Us This Way by Sheridan Anne. I've become so immune to triggers that it's fairly hard to make me cry in books, but this story absolutely made me feel at least 69 different emotions. Sheridan is a phenomenal author and I've loved every single one of her books!
6. How do you connect with your readers? Do you have any memorable fan interactions - in person or online?
I generally try to be really active on social media. I love receiving messages from readers and talking about books. I always try to respond and connect with readers as I love hearing about the impacts of my stories. My most favourite interaction was meeting new readers at BABE Sydney when my dress got caught in the escalator and security had to cut me out. I told concerned attendees that were walking past to come stop by my table and we could have a laugh about it.
7. Any upcoming projects or events that you're excited about?
I've just shot the new cover for my upcoming book Echoes which I am super excited about! I can't wait for everyone to see the magic we created!
