Hi, I'm nineteen and really interested in your book would you say it's the kind of book someone my age could sink their teeth into? Also how did you come to publish and write it? Would love some tips as I am currently struggling through my own debut novel (or trying at least. . .)

Sophia Elaine Hanson Hi,

Definitely! The Vinyl Trilogy is a young adult urban fantasy/dystopian series. The main character is nineteen and I was nineteen when I published the first book (Vinyl).

As far as tips, I actually just wrote up a long blog post with some information on the advantages and disadvantages of indie publishing. Here's a link! https://mayyourbooksguideyouhome.word...

How did you come up the Vinyl series? And how do you deal with writer's block?

Sophia Elaine Hanson Sorry it took me a bit to reply! TVT actually originated as a short story. When I reached the end of it, I realized it felt incomplete, so I just kept going. The question I wanted to answer when I got the idea was "what if music was weaponized?" It unfolded from there.

Usually when I get a short burst of writer's block, I simply back away from the manuscript and take a break. Watch an episode of The Office, take a nap, exercise, read...whatever works. Usually by the time I'm done with that, I'm ready to dive back in to the story!

If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there?

Sophia Elaine Hanson Probably the Wizarding World, honestly. Definitely not to my own world because it's bloody miserable.

I can't wait, your books are on my 'want to read list!' :) What type of book will you next ones be? I have never talked to a real book writer before! Thank you :)

Sophia Elaine Hanson Yay! Well I only have one book out right now (Vinyl) but it will be a trilogy. I am currently working on the second book. After that I have an idea for a dark fantasy series in mind, but that is still a few years out at least! I am also a full-time student so I have to balance my time a bit. ^___^
