Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’ve completed one novel, and I’m currently about halfway through the second. However, there are a ton of ideas bouncing around in my brain. So much to write, so little time!
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
When She Sleeps Part I. I am currently writing Part II. It began as a short story about lucid dreaming when I was young. It wrote itself into a novel.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Not really, I often times have a dog in my lap, but that’s pretty normal.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Wow, so many. I’ll only name a few; Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and JK Rowling are my top three. My favorite book is It by Stephen King.
What are you working on now?
I’m currently writing Part II, the sequel to my first book. I’m also trying to decide if there will be a Part III or if I can get everything into the second book.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’m still learning how to promote my books. I use Facebook a lot at the moment.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
I’m still new, so I don’t know that I have much advice besides to just go for it. Now that you can upload your book to the internet, you don’t need a fancy agent. Just go for it, see what happens.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
You’ll never know until you try.
What are you reading now?
Mr Mercedes by Stephen King. So far it’s SO good!
What’s next for you as a writer?
Finish Part II, maybe finish my horror poetry compilation. I’m just really hoping people like what I write.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
It and the Harry Potter books all taped together into one book, ha.
