Did you always dream of becoming an author?
No.
What was your first job?
Volunteering at an animal sanctuary.
How did you come about writing your book? Was that your intention or did you start writing for fun?
I started writing my book as a way to escape the issues I was having.
What was your life like before you became an author?
I was an outcast because of my A.D.D and Aspergers; people didn’t know how to interact with me.
Did you face any struggles before becoming an author? If so, how did you overcome them?
Yes, I am slowly overcoming them, with a lot of help from my close family and friends.
Now that you are a published author, how has your life changed, if at all?
It hasn’t changed much as yet as it is still all very new to me. I am very proud of what I have achieved so far, so that is a great step forward for me.
Can you please describe a typical day in your life now?
I am working on another book, and also some ideas for TV and movies.
What is your most memorable moment of your life as an author?
When I first got the book out of the box, and I thought 'I did that'.
In a few words, how would you review your experience with Pegasus Publishers?
There was a couple of hiccups here and there, but they have been extremely helpful, and they have guided me through the process step by step. Which I think, as a first time author, is very daunting. Any issues that I have had, have been dealt with very quickly and professionally.

An extract from Tony M.Adams’ middle grade fantasy quest, where a 13-year-old girl holds the key to the secrets that could save the fate of the world... It was wet, warm, and slow-moving. Masie knew precisely what it was. As usual, Masie’s dog, Archie, had got in her bedroom and woke her up with a big, wet lick to her face. “Ewwww, Archie…” Masie mumbled, covering her head with her quilt.
