Thank you for doing this interview with me Luke! What is it like to be a kid author?

–

It is really good – It’s fun when I give my book to friends or when someone buys or reviews it on Amazon.

–

How did you get the idea for your book?

–

I got some ideas from StarWars and Minecraft. Some characters are my friends and even my dog. In the next book I got some ideas from the Beast Quest books.

–

I get a lot of ideas from Star Wars too. Did your parents help you with the book? If so how?

–

Yes. My sister Leah did the drawings. My Dad listened to my ideas and wrote them down. At nighttime he read me my chapters so I could make sure everything is exactly as I wanted it to be. My Mom read it to make sure the words were spelled right.

–

That’s great you got a lot of help from your family! Do you want to write another book?  What is your advice to kids who want to write a book?

–

Yes, I am working on the second part of the story I started in “Into the Light” right now. My advice to other kids is tell your parents your ideas and they will help you writing your story.

–

That’s awesome you are writing another novel! That is real dedication! Do you like to read? If so, what is your favorite book?

–

Yes and No. At school we sometimes have boring books. My favorite books are “Into the Light” and Beast Quest.

–

What do you want to be when you grow up?

–
I used to want to be a Lego designer but now I am not sure anymore.

–

LEGO designer is an awesome career choice! 😀 Thanks again Luke!
