Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am originally from Florida. Currently, I live in South Carolina, where I have lived for several years. I have written one book so far. I also enjoy singing and songwriting, and I have completed an album of music professionally. The last few years, my interest has shifted to building and customizing Gundam model kits with my partner, Ion Garcia.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is, “Why Wilt a Wallflower? A Survivor Memoir. I was inspired to write it by my little girl, Gabby. I want the world to be a better place for her and the children she grows up with, in the hopes that sexual violence laws and policies will change.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I am not sure what this means. I started the skeleton of this book when I was 25, several years ago. I started writing it to publish it last August and completed it in December. I don’t know if that is unusual or not.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
“Sickened,” by Julie Gregory probably influenced me the most out of everything I have ever read.
What are you working on now?
Advertising my book, building Gundam models with my partner, Ion Garcia. Spending time with my daughter.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Remember, that your voice and your story matter. Always believe in yourself, even if no one else does.

What are you reading now?
Nothing, I needed a break. The most recent book I read was, “Educated,” by Tara Westover.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Promoting my book and enjoying my life.
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?
I am not a huge reader. I love quotes, especially quotes of encouragement. I would find 3 or 4 books of encouragement quotes and bring those with me.
