What did you read growing up?
As a teenager, I liked Naruto, Warrior Cats, and Guardians of Ga’ Hoole. When I was little, I read Magic Tree House. I am also a longtime fan of His Dark Materials.
How old were you when you when you decided to be a writer?
Around 24.
Why do there always seem to be lions and/or tigers in your stories?
Because I like them. If I’m not writing about something I’m passionate about, I’ll get bored and stop writing. So I always have to add things I really love to keep...
