Faded Blog Tour: Interview with author Chloe Miles


The Author: Chloe Miles

I can remember being six years old and saying that I wanted to be an author when I grew up, and I was always writing stories as a kid. There were always other things that I wanted to do as well over the years as I was growing up, but writing a book was always on the list. I just didnt realize that it was actually possible until now. I think my six-year-old self would be pretty happy!

 Writing

Id always wanted to publish a book, but had never really looked into it before because I didnt think it would be possible for some regular small-town girl like me. Then I found out about self-publishing through Amazon, and I thought it sounded perfect. Nobody would decide whether my ideas were good enough to be published except me. I love that idea of creative control!

The book- Faded


I read a newspaper article about self-publishing through Amazon, and I immediately started thinking up ideas in my head. Faded is the first thing that came to me. I wanted an element of magic and fantasy to it, but I wanted it to be something that hasnt really been done before. Thats when I decided on the idea of ghosts. Theres been stories with ghosts before, but not in the way that Faded is with human teens that can adapt to spirit form. And all along I knew I definitely wanted a romance in it! So I thought a human girl falling in love with a ghost would be perfect.
