What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write When Grifters Come Calling?
Encounters with grifters in the community I live in, people who fool enough people into believing they are legit, on the up and up, but in reality, they're only after other people's money.
What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
I'm open to most genres. I love to read good mysteries, but I'm open to just about anything that's well written.
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
Educated by Tara Westover, and The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult.

I don't want to spoil the surprise, but I can say that it was a revelation that takes place in a bank.
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
Not really.

Not exactly, but after all these years on the planet, I've learned to let go of the stress and not get too worked up when things don't go the way I envision.

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Attie's Amazing Adventures: Blueprints & Buried Truths?
I’m a mix of farm girl grit and city girl spark, and for years, friends told me I should write my biography. Many of my real-life adventures, inventions, mistakes, and significant “aha” moments are woven into the CHARMS Book Series. Of course, it’s fiction… so unless you really know me, you’ll never quite be able to tell what’s true and what’s made up (and I’m not telling). I created this series for the smart girls, the curious ones, the kids who like to build things, ask big questions, and aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty.
I wanted to write from a teen’s point of view, because that’s where the real magic and real growth happen. These books combine storytelling with life skills, career exploration, and real-life situations that teens are currently facing. Sometimes the best way to find answers is to read about someone else figuring them out, too. And sometimes, the best example is just being a good one.
If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Attie's Amazing Adventures: Blueprints & Buried Truths, what would they be?
Attie McAllister: “Roar” by Katy Perry. She’s inventive, determined, and a little rebellious (in the best way). "Roar" fits her perfectly. Attie is the kind of girl who builds rocket prototypes before breakfast and solves mysteries before curfew. This anthem captures her resilience, brainpower, and quiet confidence, even when the stakes get high.
Jenny: “Confident” by Demi Lovato. Jenny brings the sparkle, the sass, and the social media savvy. She’s Attie’s ride-or-die best friend, and she knows how to take charge with flair. “Confident” celebrates her bold energy and unapologetic enthusiasm, whether she’s vlogging a clue hunt or hyping up Attie’s inventions.
Raye: “Believer” by Imagine Dragons. Raye is introspective but fiercely loyal. She questions everything, often looking beneath the surface to find deeper truths. “Believer” taps into her quiet fire, her journey through loss, and her determination to rise stronger. She’s the one who feels deeply and channels that into action.
Aunt Loxley: “Unstoppable” by Sia. She’s part artist, part secret agent, part mentor, and 100% wild card. This track captures her free-spirited energy, unexpected wisdom, and a past she doesn’t always talk about. She’s on her own mission, always chasing wonder, always ready to drop a truth bomb wrapped in a metaphor.
Jackson: “Whatever It Takes” by Imagine Dragons. The perfectionist. The builder. The man with a plan… until it doesn’t go according to plan. Jackson has major “I’ll figure it out, even if it breaks me” energy. This song hits his drive to prove himself and support the team, even when his confidence falters.
Attie’s Dad: “Safe and Sound” by Capital Cities. Cool under pressure, loyal to the core, and operating on a need-to-know basis. This low-key bop has secret-agent vibes with a protective streak. It’s the theme of a dad who might disappear on a mission but always leaves behind a breadcrumb trail and a backup plan.
Attie’s Mom – “I Lived” by One Republic, NASA scientist. Mission-driven. Master of the clipboard and countdown. Attie’s mom is composed under pressure but has a fire in her belly. This power anthem represents every spreadsheet she’s color-coded and every system she’s launched, earthbound or otherwise.
What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
I read everything. Truly. If it has a spine and words, I’ll give it a shot. Right now, the stack on my bedside table is about 20 books deep and dangerously close to toppling. I have a little rotation system: one YA book (to stay in tune with my audience), one historical fiction (because I love a good time-travel-without-jetlag moment), one business or personal development book (hello, lifelong learner), one gloriously trashy beach read (we all need a little romcom), and one random pick from the librarian’s “staff favorites” shelf. Rinse and repeat.
As for writing, I live in the YA space because I believe those years are the most important for building confidence, curiosity, and a sense of purpose. But let’s be honest, I’m sneaking in a little history, leadership, and rom-com sparkle too. So yes, I read widely, but I write where the magic meets the mission.
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
Next up on my nightstand is Britannica’s Encyclopedia Infographica. It’s this beautifully designed, brainy feast of facts, and yes, I seriously want a copy just to display on my bookshelf like a trophy. It's the kind of book that makes you smarter just by flipping through it... or at least feel smarter while doing so.
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
I am absolutely loving unveiling “The Six,” unraveling the meaning behind HELIOS, and connecting the dots between past and present. Writing those scenes felt like peeling back layers of a hidden history, one that reminds us how dangerous it is to erase people, ideas, or innovations just because they were ahead of their time. But honestly? The real fun was hiding clues throughout the book. Think of them as Easter eggs for the curious reader. Some are subtle, some are bold, and I’m still waiting to see who spots them all first. The truth is in there… if you know where to look.
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
Before I ever type a word, I go on a long trek, sometimes through the woods, sometimes just wandering with no map, letting the characters and outline unravel in my mind. It's my pre-writing ritual, like downloading the story from the sky. And almost every time, something strange or wonderful happens on that walk… which usually ends up in the book. So if you spot an oddly specific moment in the story, chances are it really happened - on a trail somewhere, just me, my boots, and a very busy imagination.
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
“Get your hands dirty!” Whether it’s building something, fixing a problem, planting an idea, or just figuring out life, nothing significant happens if you’re afraid to dig in. I believe the best learning (and the best living) comes from doing. Mistakes, messes, and all.
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
Share it. Pass it on to a classmate, a teacher, a librarian, or a friend. I know there are more girls out there who love to “get their hands dirty” building things, solving problems, and chasing big ideas - just like I do. The CHARMS series is for them. And hey, don’t forget to get on the waitlist for the Secret Book Society… It’s just for Charms readers, and trust me, you want to be on the inside of this adventure.

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Drowning Bay?
It actually began as a dream. In the dream, I saw a woman in a white dress standing on the beach at the crack of dawn. She looked around her, saw a neighbor coming out to walk his dog. Made sure to make eye contact, so the man knew she was there. And then she walked into the ocean and disappeared. It wasn’t the most frightening dream, but the image stayed with me for all of the next day, and the more I thought about it, the more the story came to me. I’ve always wanted to write a psychological thriller series, and this felt like it was the right story to begin that journey.
What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
My favorite genre to read is definitely psychological thrillers. While I am writing a psychological thriller series now, I started out on my writing journey, writing sci-fi and fantasy, and I may go back to it after I finish with this series.
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
The next book on my reading list is "The Lost Bookshop" by Evie Woods.
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
The opening prologue of the book since it’s the scene from my dream that started the whole thing.
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
Tang Seng is my pen name, named after the monk from The Journey to the West. To show her support, my wife made me this hand-stitched Tang Seng doll that I keep on my writing desk to remind me to focus on the journey and not the destination.
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
I come from a screenwriting background, and in screenwriting, done is better than perfect. I think it applies to novel writing as well.
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
Everyone needs help. And the best help you can get is the courage to believe you can save yourself.

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Incomer?
It started as a short story in which I wanted to imagine a predictable situation turned upside down. Simon is a werewolf, but not as they’re usually portrayed. He’s desperate to see someone, and she’s desperate to see him, but they can’t ever meet when they’re in the same shape. This was all going to be observed by Simon’s sister Rose, who was somehow in the background. But as I started to write, I firstly realised it wasn’t going to be short, and secondly realised that Rose had a story of her own – she needed to come out of the shadows not only to protect her brother but to realise her own power, and in the process find friendship where she least expects it.
While I was writing it, I realised that I myself had changed from someone who tended to be an observer to someone who wanted to make things happen, and I think that is partly why the focus shifted. But I loved writing the book and still love Rose, Simon, Sky, and Rob. If you want to know more about the background, you can find it on my blog ‘What’s The Incomer All About?’ (link to my website below).
If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of The Incomer, what would they be?
Kiss from a Rose by Seal; Moon by Austin Giorgio.
What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
I read all sorts of genres, but my favourites are mystery, historical fiction, and fantasy books like The Incomer, where the world seems like ours but hides secret magic and perhaps a link to another world most people don’t realise is there. Most of the books I’ve written have been mysteries (historical and contemporary), but many of my short stories are fantasy or supernatural, tapping into the idea of alternative realities. I also try to include a dragon or two if I can, even if it’s just a reference!
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
The Resistance Girls by Alice G May; The Lost Bookshop by Evie Woods; Book of Night by Holly Black; The Merchant’s House by Kate Ellis.
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
The night of the ceilidh. I loved bringing all the elements together: the people, the atmosphere, the music, the magic. I can’t say more – you’ll have to read it to find out why!
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
I like to drink tea from specific mugs, and depending on where I am, I’m either overseen by a fox or a dragon (the fox is really a large door prop, and the other is a quirky piece of pottery).
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
Broadly – to be kind, to look for joy, to be a good friend, not to be afraid to be different, to learn from the past but not be controlled by it. I also love these Maya Angelou quotations: “If you’re always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.” “We need joy as we need air. We need love as we need water. We need each other as we need the earth we share.”
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
I’d love them to be still thinking about the characters and to see how they learned that while they can’t change the past, they can influence the future.
