What You See Isn't Always What You Get by Faith Ashlin

I wanted to see if I could do the idea justice. I had the idea, it had come to me almost fully formed and was just begging to be written down. I just have fun.įiona: What inspired you to write your first book?įaith: My first book was that one when I was 12 but my first proper book came much later.

It was just a case of writing those stories down.įiona: When did you first consider yourself a writer?įaith: I’ve never considered myself a writer! Shakespeare and Dickens are writers. I have always had a mind full of stories, and I was quite old before I realized that not everyone lived in their own fantasy land inside their heads. It had appalling spelling – which only I could read – but it was a proper story.

I have to admit, she was right and I was wrong! Thank you, Sue.įiona: When and why did you begin writing?įaith: I say in my bio that I found a ‘book’ I’d written when I was about 12. I think it makes it a much more rounded, complete book. I’m especially excited about ‘Pathfinder’ as my new editor eventually persuaded me to add an extra chapter and an epilogue. They are ‘What You See’ (previously called ‘What You See Isn’t Always What You Get when it was published by Silver) coming out on general release 1st August 2014 and ‘Pathfinder’ which is on general release 15th August 2014. I have two books being re-released with Totally Bound. I’ve found a community of people that love the things I do.įaith: Things are very exciting at the moment. Finding writing and getting published feels very liberating. But, although, I’m old enough to know better, I don’t really care what other people think as much as I used to – or maybe as much as I ought to. I live a boring life, in a boring place, doing boring things. A little about your self `ie your education Family life etcįaith: I’m very boring.
