Featured Interview With Nicole Belanger
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I’m a nineteen year old author. I published my first novel at the young age of seventeen. I lived in New Hampshire until I was twelve when I moved to Maine with my parents and brother. I now live in my own apartment in Westbrook, Maine with a good friend of mine. I’m an avid photographer, Certified Nursing Assistant, soon-to-be EMT, a nursing student and currently working on my second novel.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I’ve been able to read since I was very young. I was always ahead of the other children and I began writing my own stories when I was six. When I was seven, I wrote a story called “The Cat that Leaves Fish Alone”. I actually thought about finding that story and fixing it up to publish it. It wasn’t until I was thirteen that I began writing my first novel, Lost Voice, which is about Domestic Violence.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I love to read Stephen King and Nicholas Sparks. I don’t have a favorite genre, but I definitely like action. I hate when a story drags on for no reason without any kind of mysterious element to it. Stephen King definitely inspires me in my writing, reminding me to use the element of surprise.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
Lost Voice is about a young woman who’s trapped in an abusive relationship. As the abuse progresses, she realizes she had to find her voice and save herself or lose her life. She embarks on a battle to stop the violence as she puts her life, as well as the lives of the people she loves the most, in danger.
