C. Ima Nye

I'm kind of a mix. I usually will daydream about a project often, so while I'll try to make and stick with a plot outline, if I come up with a really cool scene that I think will fit better, I'll change my outline to match. It can feel kind of chaotic sometimes, but ultimately I think my stories come out better for it.

This is the hardest question I think any reader has to face, but right now it's "Gorlup's Adventure" by Rachael Pugmire (kind of obscure right now, but it's available on Amazon, and if you like fantasy and adventures, I'd 10/10 recommend it!). Granted my favorite books can change on a whim, but this one has always been near the top of my list, if not the top, ever since I first read it.

It's the pen name that I write under, and it's meant to be something of a joke, although not everyone realizes that at a glance. "C. Ima Nye"= See? I'm a Nye. However, part of it has also become the name of my writing universe, "The Imaverse" (all of my stories more or less happen in the same universe because I've always loved the concept).

Absolutely! Right now I'm working on a fairytale adaptation series called "A Tale of Two Worlds" (series name is in-progress, haha). It is one of my biggest projects to date, namely because I already know the original trilogy won't be the end of the series (as of right now, I'm also planning 2-3 novellas and a sequel trilogy). Simply put, this series takes place in two kingdoms (each considered "worlds" in my greater expanded universe) connected solely by a bridge and follows many different fairytales that intertwine deeper than what meets the eye. Book One, "Cursed Tower", is in rewrite phases and follows Peter Pan (Pan), Sleeping Beauty (Rose), and Rapunzel (Rachelle). Book Two, "Glass Petals", is in polishing phases and follows Cinderella (Elena), Snow White (Bianca), and Beauty from "Beauty and the Beast" (Marabella). And finally, Book Three, "Snow Heart" has just graduated from plot-drafting and will be on its first draft once I finish the other two, but it will bring all of the main characters from the other two books to face an unprecedented threat where they will have to determine who they can trust and just how far they will go to save the people they love. I'm really excited about this series and looking forward to sharing it on this site!
