Tina Carreiro----Next Big Thing Blog Hop

I virtually met Tina Carreiro over a year ago through Facebook. It wasn't until recently that her and I became friends, whom she was happy to lend an ear so I could rant and rave over a few personal things. (Thank you)  Not only is Tina a good friend, whom I can talk to and trust for her honest oppinion, she is a spectular writer. Her vampire/romance story Power of the Moon is proof of that. I recently asked Tina some questions and here they are. :)

1)When did you decide to become a writer? I’ve always been a writer, crafting stories as far back as I can remember and sharing them with family and friends. When I decided to put myself out in the public eye is a different story. When I finished Power of the Moon, my husband read the draft. He loved it. His reaction alone instilled enough confidence in me to move forward into the publishing world.

2) Who is your number one fan? My kids. Although, they aren’t allowed to read my books until their early twenties… they cheer the loudest everywhere we go.

3) What is the hardest thing about writing a book? I may be alone on this, but I don’t find writing hard. I love it. It flows from me in natural waves of creativity. Editing sucks though.

4)What or who inspires you to keep writing? I love my readers and they inspire me to keep writing. I receive emails, Facebook post… etc. from them and it makes my fingers twitch to move faster. Their enthusiasm for my books, their love for my characters is something I’ll always cherish.

5) Tell us one thing about yourself that very few people know? I love to put peanut butter in my vanilla ice cream. Shhh… it’s my dirty little secret.
