What are you working on right now? Tell us a little
about it/them.
A series of books called the
Saturday Club Adventures (S.C.A. for short) (21 books, 19x120 pages and 2x160
pages), which is about a youth club in Cork, Republic of Ireland, and their
adventures and
journeys and battle against D.P. (stands for Dark Psychos, the villainous group
of the series), plus a number of short stories which are separate to the S.C.A.
3.
How long have you been writing?
Since I was 8.
4.
What are your goals
for yourself as a writer?
To get my books published,
and have my works studied by English students.
5.
What are some of
your favorite authors? Books?
My favourite authors include
Roald Dahl, Charles Dickens, William Shakespeare, Georgia Byng (Molly Moon
series), Rick Riordan, Suzanne Collins (Hunger Games), Mark O'Halloran (a
friend of mine and fellow writer, we reviews each other's works), Justin
Richards (Time Runners), and of course Aaron O'Donoghue.
6.
What inspired you to
begin writing?
I'm not actually sure, I just
had (and still have) a crazy imagination, and wrote stories on the school
computer in primary school (the first one I can remember is 'The Amazing
Race'), and somehow, my 8-year-old mind knew the word 'trillion', as I remember
seeing it appear in that story. But my friend Mark inspired me to write my
current series by starting one and he told me, I got excited and wanted to find
out more, and wrote a book for the series (as I assumed it was a group
project), and then we teamed up, and I decided to start a series of my own.
7.
What advice do you
have for other aspiring authors?
I would say: make the plot
believable, original, interesting, make 3-dimensional characters: described
physically and personality wise, otherwise, your readers will have mental
images of stickmen/stickwomen when reading your books, and describe the
settings well, but not to the point of boring the reader. And don't put in
useless information.
8.
What’s your favorite
genre to write?
Action and adventure
especially, and a bit of comedy, sci-fi, thriller too.
9.
Do you listen to music
while writing? If so, what kind?
Yes, any kind, rock, pop,
original tracks (some made by me and my friends using Songify), remixes,
instrumentals
