Featured Interview With Samantha Fischer
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was born in Springfield, VA which is about 10 minutes outside of Washington DC. I now live in Lafayette, IN with my boyfriend and three year old daughter.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I really started to get into reading in high school. I didn’t have a lot of friends so I spent all my time in and out of school reading books, mostly in the YA fiction section. I started making up stories to myself around the same time, but didn’t start to actually write any of them down until college when I started taking creative writing classes.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
My favorite author is Stephen King. I will read anything by him (yes, I’m one of those crazy fans) and will read anything in the fiction genre. I’ve been getting into more historical fiction lately as well.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
I have only published one book so far, a novella called Love and Self Discovery. It is about a girl in high school who comes out as gay to her Christian parents. I wrote it for a creative writing class in college and it’s inspired by my own fear to come out to my parents. Luckily for me, my parents were much nicer about it than my character’s.
