Author Interview
Where do your ideas come from?
My idea for the book "The Perfect Victim" came from life experience. I had been through a traumatic experience that I see teenagers still going through regularly, and honestly I hadn't gotten over the experience myself. One night, I had a dream that the character Dominic in my book was back, and I couldn't shake the feeling I would never be rid of him until I got some closure. This is when I sat down and wrote this book.
Who is your target reader?
Anyone who is depressed, or feels like they need to hurt themselves to make the pain go away. Anyone who is in a situation who didn't know how to stop a situation where they know they are clearly in trouble but they don't know how to stop it. Anyone who is being sexually abused. Anyone who works with these teenagers and now, more often, children that need to recognize when there is trouble and need to step in instead of look the other way.
How did you come up with the title?
Rachel was the perfect victim. She was quiet, submissive, confused. This was the first encounter she ever had with someone of the opposite sex and she just wanted to feel loved, even if it wasn't really love. Since it was her first experience she didn't know how to handle her situation, and she had trust issues from previous friends so she couldn't talk about it. There is no one better to take advantage of.

Twitter

I never really understood how twitter worked at first. But after really looking into it, I discovered it's actually a great tool that I think all authors, bloggers, editors etc. should have.

Here is the trick with twitter, it's all about the hashtags. #author #indie #writer etc. Adding these key hashtags into your tweets allows more people to come across your tweets thus generating new followers.

As an author on twitter you need to remember to tweet about different things. Every tweet cannot consist of "Buy my book". Tweet about things that interest you as well. Obtain followers who have the same interest.

What I really like about this site is if you are self-published you can add your book to their data base, as long as you have a valid ISBN number for your book.

Goodreads is also associated with a lot of major online book distributors for ex. KOBO. Every time someone posts a review on Goodreads about your book, it shows up on the distributors website as a valid review.
