Q&A
Hi Megan! Thanks for stopping by today, to start please tell us about yourself.
I live in Vegas and have a cat named Jack that thinks he is a dog. I am in love with sushi and science fiction. When I'm not working, which is pretty much all the time, I write and go to the movies.
What inspired you to write Released?
I was inspired to write Released from my love of science fiction and the paranormal. There were so many zombie books out I wanted to do a different twist on an apocalyptic story.
Did you have any major research/travel or personal experience go into the book?
I actually did. A lot the places my characters went to are places I have personally been. I also used a map to track their route for the entire story.
Why YA?
I write YA because it is the genre that I personally love to read and it just felt natural to write. I can't imagine myself writing any other kind of genre.
If you could cast the main lead of your book in a movie who would you choose?
For Released I would choose... a teen aged Mila Jovovich. I just don't know of any actress that can do action as well as she can.
What are you reading now?
I just finished BETA reading a YA novel for an indie author, Descended by Blood.
Can you share any future works with us?
I just finished writing the first in my vampires series, Savor. It will be available September 1st. I am really excited about it.
