1 what inspired the idea of your story? 

The first thing I came up to was the female protagonist, Alexa. She is the result of my own kind of therapy. I need to write about certain things in my life and the rest unfolded from there.

2 what was something you struggled with for your story ?

I chose to write every chapter with a double POV; I took it as a challenge, but sometimes it can frustrating. Time; is a real struggle in general and the fact that English is not my first language.

 3 what has been the overall response to your story from your readers? 

I've been getting such wonderful feedback. Some people find the double POV strange at first, but overall they end up giving the story a shot and I'm super happy with the feedback.

4 what did you enjoy writing most of your story?

The character's background and how they grew from there. Some scenes were quite emotional but it gives me great satisfaction when I think people can feel those emotions through my words.

 5 is your story a stand alone novel or a piece of a series?

its a stand alone

 6 what would you like your readers to take away from your story?

There is always hope even in the darkest times. Fighting for yourself and your happiness is worth it. You are worth it.

 7 what's a piece of advice you would provide to another writer, when it comes to focusing on their story? 

Find the feeling that ignited the sparkle to start writing your story and hold on to it. 

8 does your main character share any similarities to yourself?

Yes. As I said, Alexa was what motivated the whole book, and my personal experience was what motivated me to write Alexa. I wanted not to tell my story, but to find an outlet to certain feelings, so instead of writing in the first person, I wrote about a girl who was feeling the same. That was my sparkle. Everything else came from there.

 9 what's something you believe would draw in new readers? 

I don't know, but hopefully, people open the book and really feel the power behind the words. I think if people feel a connection they will join the author in the adventure.

10 do you have any future projects?

Yes. I would like to edit my other book, Promise me, because it's totally unedited and, again, English is not my first language so... yeah. And I have some ideas for a new story. I have some general lines about it on paper already, but I'm still playing around with it. I have my energy focused on Chasing Stars, at the moment.
