What female author has inspired you the most?<br/><br/>Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. Because I read &#39;Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus&#39; at a very, very, young age. I called the &#39;monster&#39; Adam. I liked his tragic exploration of the world. It&#39;s what inspired me to have the deities in the Ethereal series, be in various stages of discovering the world and consciousness.
