Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I currently live in Fort Worth, Texas. I was picked up by a Publisher at Eighteen. I am currently Twenty-one. I have written three books so far.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Land of Arlenm.
I wanted to open doors in the Sci-Fi world. I wrote the series because it is one I always dreamed of seeing on the shelves.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Not that I am aware of no. I am sure others might have a different view on that.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Rod Serling. The things that must have danced through his mind, amaze me.
What are you working on now?
The second novel of ‘Land of ARLENM’
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I think in person marketing is the best method for me personally. Nothing beats Author-Reader contact.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Do not ever give up. We all fail, I know when it is happening to you personally; you think it is just you. It is not, I promise. Patience and Consistency is key.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
We all have the same 24 hours in the day; you are either abusing them or improving yourself.
What are you reading now?
Bad girls don’t die
What’s next for you as a writer?
It depends on where it decides to take me.
