Lindsay’s Interview

Hello, I am Camilla Coronado

I love to write like I love to breathe. Sarcasm and being in charge. I’m allergic to the other people and I’m going to save the world. And I’m an English major.

Hottie

“Writing” has been a synonym for “living” as long as I can remember. Sometimes I read until I can’t see anymore and then dream about it later. One day I woke up and decided to be an author.

One of my favorite books is The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson.
