1 what is one Wattpad goal? 

I'd love to see Air Born hit 10k reads!

2 are you still surprised when you get a new vote, follow or comment?

Without a doubt. I'm a perfectionist to a fault and always think that my story could be better. When people actually provide me with positive feedback, I can't help but thinking they're lying or just trying to be nice. But I have to remind myself that no one would say those things unless they actually meant it (I hope lol!).

 3 what inspired you to write? 

I've wanted to be a writer since I was 9. I first tried writing my first book when I was 10, and I haven't stopped since. I guess you can say it's in my blood.

4 what's a good piece of advice for a newcomer? 

Newcomers to Wattpad should really get involved in the community. Reading other stories, getting involved in "Wattpad Community," helps a lot with your own marketing for your stories.

5 how would you spend a rainy day?

To be honest, being as lazy as I can be. Rain makes me really sleepy, so I'm usually watching a movie or tv show.

 6 what's a song you enjoy? Who is the artist?

A song...hmm...so many to pick from! I'll go with This Is Me by Keala Settle. I love any songs about self-empowerment and strength

 7 what's your schedule regarding your writing?

I write whenever I can. So far, I write for about 20-30 minutes in the morning before I go to work, and then 1-2 hours after work, every day. Weekends I usually take up my entire free time to write.

 8 what is your dream vacation? 

I'm a 100% Italian (like my family is fresh off the boat), so I'd love to visit the motherland one day.

9 if you could hang out with your favorite celeb for a day, who would you choose and what would you do? 

It would be a dream to meet JK Rowling. She's my inspiration. I'd love to just sit down in a coffee shop with her and talk about writing and books.

10 what's your favorite holiday and why? 

My favorite holiday would probably have to be Halloween. I LOVE dressing up.

11 what's your favorite snack? 

Popcorn or (this may sound odd), black olives. That might be the Italian me...

so far, the only story I have published on Wattpad is Air Born. If you love fantasy with a modern twist, dig "whodunit" mysteries, you might enjoy my story. It strays away from the traditional fantasy storylines, I think. It's mystery heavy, not so much action heavy, and character-driven. I usually tell people if you like either Harry Potter and/or Avatar the Last Air Bender with a sprinkle of Nancy Drew, you should consider Air Born
