Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a recent graduate, artist and graphic designer. Big Bad Beautiful is my first book I have shared with the public, but I have one more being edited and there are several others that I have written in the past to help me better craft my style.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Big Bad Beautiful, a post apocalyptic, science fiction adventure. The story is a nightmarish combination of dystopian fiction and the classic Red Riding Hood fairytale.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
It takes me months to come up with an idea and figure out how to write it, but once I put pen to paper, or finger to keyboard, I can usually push out an initial draft in a few months.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Stephen King, Dave Eggers, Jonathan Stroud, JK Rowling, Dean Koontz.
What are you working on now?
A coming of age, horror novel called California Dark. The two houses featured are the ones I grew up in.
