The following is an interview with Jeremiah J. Barnes, author of My Family’s Great Smoky Mountains Adventure.

1. For anyone who doesn’t know who you are, could you tell us a little bit about yourself?
My name is Jeremiah. I like to read, play video games, and run track and cross-country.

2. What initially got you into writing in general?
I got interested in writing because there were lots of cool books I liked and I wanted to make a book like that, too.

3. What inspired you to write My Family’s Great Smoky Mountains Adventure?
I was inspired to write my book because it was one of my favorite family trips I’ve ever been on, so I thought it would be important to write about it.

4. Can you tell us about your writing process? What was the most difficult part of writing a book?
My writing process involves first gathering a few important parts/details from the trip, explaining what happened, and explaining why I thought it was fun. Then, I reread my work and made sure it turned out the way I wanted. However, the hardest part of the writing is making a good ending and beginning.

5. What advice would you give to an aspiring author?
To an aspiring author, I would say don’t give up writing and have fun doing it.
