FELIX SILVER TEASPOONS & WITCHES
2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book?
Think Golden Girls meets The Goonies!
3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place?
I always liked the idea of a lil seaside town being catapulted into chaos. There’s a place in England near Cornwall called Port Isaac that I pictured for the setting of Felix Silver.
4–Would you hang out with your protagonist in real life?
Back when I was Felix’s age I think we would’ve been friends at school for sure.
5–What are three words that describe your protagonist?
Queer, kind, adventurous
6–What’s something you learned while writing this book?
Writing this book was quite challenging. I was going through a rough time personally and so writing about love, magic and happy ever afters was tricky. I learnt that the best way out of a funk is to just keep pushing through it and to stay present.

I used to edit on the go but now I go back at the end.
8–What’s your favorite foodie indulgence?
I love red vines!
9–Describe your writing space/office!
I have a desk in my bedroom that’s right in front of all my windows and trees outside. It’s a good time.

Not JK Rowling that’s for sure. Stephen Chbosky is an all-time fave. David Levithan too.
11–Is there a book that changed your life?
Tell the Wolves I’m Home.
12–Tell us about when you got “the call.” (when you found out your book was going to be published)/Or, for indie authors, when you decided to self-publish.
I’d have a few zooms with the team at Interlude and we chatted a lot about the book and my ideas for it and they then offered to publish it and I was stoked.
13–What’s your favorite genre to read?
Everything and anything. Give me a book and a cuppa and I’m easy breezy beautiful.

Oliver!

Skateboard, hike, read and hang out with as many dogs as I can.
