1 what inspired the idea of your story?

 I always had love for zombie related stories and action. 

2 what is something you struggled constructing with your story?

Knowing the military and political system, they are relevant to the plot (ironic I know because I'm enlisted)

3 what did you enjoy writing most of your story?

Adding different types of people (different personalities, skillsets, physical fitness, etc) to an apocalyptic world where fighting to survive might mean you betray your own morals or else reveal the worst in you

4 what's the overall response of your story from your readers?

You truly know yourself best and test the limits(it is something the characters in my story will be forced to do)

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

It will be a series hence the name The First Surge

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

That we are all different no two are alike-be it your partner, twin, mother, dog, friend there is something that makes everyone special and the smallest jobs count

7 what advice would you provide to fellow writers, when it comes to focusing on their own story?

Keep writing and plan ahead. My life can get unpredictable sometimes but writing is truly my passion and only talent so I put a lot of time and effort into it. Not necessarily to be famous but because allows my stories to be told

8 does your main character share any similarities to yourself?

Many people might think Kiah has similarities to me because my name is Kiahoya but I share more similarities with Keanu. We try to do what we think is right and might be rookies/ amateurs but we try our hardest. 

9 what is something about your story you believe would draw in new readers?

I have a lot of characters bullied, innocent, stoner, mother, transgender, rookie, someone on the verge of losing the only parent they have left, a scholar etc you can find yourself here lmao if that character survives **evil laughs** 

10 do you have any future projects?

Yes, I do it's called Outbreak: Out Surviving
