Waiting for your excellent stories! | ASK THE WRITER Q1: If you could travel back in time, what year would you choose? I would visit myself as a child in the 1980s and tell her everything is going to be OK. Q2: How did you come up with the idea for this book? I first came up with the character of Michael, then I thought about how I had always wanted to write a book about time travel, and then I brought the ideas together. Q3: What's the best piece of writing advice you've received? Characters should never be too perfect. There's nothing interesting about perfection. Q4: If you weren't a writer, what would you do? I would be a teacher. I love teaching almost as much as I love writing. |
