Q. Talk about the book that most changed or influenced your life (was it a book that turned you from an average to avid reader, did it help you deal with a particularly difficult situation, does it bring you comfort every time you read it?).

This was the second book I read from Francesca lia Block. I love her style of writing and devoured this book in 1 day I think.

I was a teen at the time and this probably is more YA which I don’t read a lot of now. But, I still love this author.

Q. Name 3 authors that you would love to sit down and spend an hour or a meal with just talking about either their books or get advice on writing from?

My first Pick would be JK Rowling. I’m not a fan of YA books I just can’t seem to get into them. But, I love her story. How she picked herself up from having nothing and being on welfare and being a single mother to now being one of the richest women in England.

My second pick is Anne Rice. My godfather loved her writing and I love vampires.

My third pick is Charlotte Bronte Jane Eyre is one of my favorite books. I can relate to this character a lot more then most other characters in books.

Even though you can pick three I also want to add Jane Austen. I’m just starting to read her classic books. I would want to know more about her.
