Want to know more?
1. What’s your favourite movie?
I don't have just one favorite film, but a few. These include The King's Speech, Valkyrie, and The Karate Kid trilogy.
2. What do your family and friends think about your book?
I'm happy to say that my family and friends are proud of my accomplishment, and some of them still want to read it. But I know that this book of mine would never have been if not for the influence of two of my sisters, who are also writers. Both of them inspired me to craft a novel such as this one.
3. What was the last thing that made you cry?
A couple of months ago, I was watching the last installment of the Lord of the Rings film trilogy, and the scenes at the end of the film are so emotional, they made me cry a bit.
4. Who is your favourite author?
Lynn Austin, who is the queen of historical fiction. I've read eight of her novels, and each one is so beautifully written and crafted. She's taught me a lot about writing, such as creating substantial characters and blending emotion with the themes and plot lines of a story.
5. What’s next for you?
I graduate from college next month with a major in Paralegalism. Yay! And hopefully within a couple of months or so, I'd like to relocate to a nearby state to live and start my legal career.
6. Do you have a nickname?
Yes, it's "Carm." Nearly all of my friends and family use it from time to time.
7. What’s your favourite genre?
Probably historical fiction, and Christian fiction. But I also love psychological, nonfiction, suspense, and mystery stories.
8. Would you prefer a quiet night in or a night on the town?
It would kind of depend on how I feel that particular night. I'm usually the type of person to just hang out at home, but I also really like going out and having some fun when I feel like it.
9. What’s your favourite season and why?
Summer. I don't mind the hot weather, and I love it when the sun shines everyday and I hardly ever have to wear a jacket when I go outside. Summer just really has a great feeling of freedom that comes with it.
10. In what kind of environment do you work best in?
In a quiet, comfortable environment, such as my bedroom. Otherwise, if I'm working on something like homework or promoting my book, it's hard to concentrate.
