Hello, my name is Vanessa and am a mom to 3 beautiful beasties all under the age of six years; they are truly my inspiration to work towards my goal of one day being a published author. My husband has encouraged me to start writing again as I have sadly put it aside while he was away due to military obligations. Yet now while he has moved from active duty to the reserves, I have a bit more time to create some fantastical worlds with hopefully some loveable characters.
1. My favorite to write is young adult whether it be historical drama, romance, fantasy, science fiction, etc. The reason being is that I believe that the next generation needs to find a love for reading as well as writing, especially in such a digital age.
2. I think I really started creating stories while I was in high school. My friends loved to read anything I wrote, so thus I was eager to capture other people's fascination.
3. A few of my favorite authors are P.C. Cast, Neal Shusterman, Melissa De La Cruz, Philippa Gregory, JK Rowling (of course) among many others.
4. A quirky fact about me is that I get all my story ideas from my dreams at night. I feel like I am odd since I often have dreams that are like movies and as soon as I wake up I try to recreate what happened in said dream.
