Skye Malone<\/span><\/p>\n

A fan of magical books since childhood, they adore stories that pit ordinary characters against extraordinary odds and reveal the strength within.

When you are writing a book, which is harder? The first book in the series or the others after it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ones later in the series always seem to be harder. When I’m starting the book, the sky’s the limit on what I can do. Once I’m farther in the series, I suddenly have to obey my own d*** rules, and that’s annoying, lol.<\/span><\/p>\n

When writing a series how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?<\/strong><\/p>\n

When in doubt, I blow something up. Doesn’t matter if it’s a car, a relationship, a problem, or a fricking sofa. I like to keep things churning and changing as much as I can, so I’m always looking for a chance to turn everything on its head. <\/span><\/p>\n

Writing can be an emotionally draining and stressful pursuit. Any tips for aspiring writers?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pace yourself. Even if you binge write, plan on some time to rest in all that. No one is a machine. <\/span><\/p>\n

On a typical day, how much time do you spend writing?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It varies wildly. Some days are all writing, some are only a small amount. <\/span><\/p>\n

Do you have a favorite character that you have written? If so, who? And what makes them so special.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love them all. I honestly cannot answer that. <\/span><\/p>\n

What is your definition of success?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love them all. I honestly cannot answer that. <\/span><\/p>\n

Do you have anything you want to share that didn’t fit on one of these questions?<\/strong><\/p>\n
