Interview with author Stefanie Hilarczyk

Book: The Adventures Of Tooth Fairy Tommy

Q1.  Hello Ma’am, can you please introduce yourself? Readers would love to know more about you.

I’m a mom of two teens, one of which has a rare genetic disorder called trisomy 18. I’m a life long advocate for special needs children. I grew up with a learning disability. Giving the voiceless a voice has always been a huge part of who I am. When I’m not writing books you can find me running a carpentry business with my husband! I’m a graduate of the Institute of Children’s Literature, where I studied writing for children and teens. 

Q2.  What were the key challenges you faced while writing ‘The Adventures Of Tooth Fairy Tommy’ book?

Some challenge I had writing this particular book was really finding an illustrator who could  convey my characters the way I wanted.

Q3. What books or authors have most influenced your own writing?

I loved reading to my children books when they were little! Our all time favorite was: Click Clack Moo, Cows that Type.” I loved the authors silly writing that grabbed not only my kids attention but mine too!

Q4. What’s your favourite spot to visit in your own country? And what makes it so special to you?

The beach is our very favorite spot! We live very close to it. We are often there all year round.

Q5. Is there lots to do before you drive in and start writing a book?

Not really, I usually have an idea and get started!

Q6. How long did it take you to write ‘The Adventures OfTooth Fairy Tommy’ book?

It took me a year. Only because I changed the direction of the book a few times. I wanted something meaningful. Using tooth fairy letters my children got from the tooth fairy  as my inspiration helped shape the direction of the book as well as my son who spent some time in a wheel chair like the character in the book.

Q7. On what all platforms readers can find ‘The Adventures Of Tooth Fairy Tommy’ book to buy?

You can find The Adventures of Tooth Fairy Tommy on Amazon, and direct from the publisher Book Baby. As well as any other place you can buy a book, Target, and Barnes and Noble are good places too!

Q8. Tell us about the process of coming up with the book cover and the title ‘The Adventures Of Tooth Fairy Tommy’?

I went with this title because I plan on writing more books with Tommy in them. I have another two books coming out later this year/ early 2021!

Q9. When writing a book how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?

I try to use every day life. I think when you do that you can never go wrong and never run out of ideas! Something interesting is always going on. (At least one my house and life! Hahahaha!)

Q10. Are there any secrets from the book (that aren’t in the blurb), you can share with your readers?

My daughters handwriting is in the book! The character Tommy and Jimmy are a play on words for my sons name Timmy!!
