Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am homeschool graduate, earning her high school diploma from Penn Foster High School. I also have an Associates in Business Administration from the University of Phoenix. I am an independent consultant, instructional designer/videographer, artist, musician and music producer. Just recently, I produce a cd album for my brother John Hopkins called Forever Christmas and currently working on a new album with him as well as my own.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The name of my latest book is Run Cassie Run. It’s about a young woman who’s kidnapped and forced into sex trafficking and her struggles on getting away from the man who abducted her. The concept for this story came maybe in 2013 or 2014. What inspired it was Law and Order Special Victims Unit. I am a huge fan of the show and Mariska Hargitay. The writing is outstanding the actors are superb and is just all around a great show.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Well, not really. But I have to take that back I used to write the endings to all my stories. I didn’t have the middle or beginning it was always the endings first. (LOL)
What authors, or books have influenced you?
The authors that influenced me was Stephanie Meyer, James Patterson, Danielle Steel, J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis.
What are you working on now?
Currently, I am working on updating Eden’s Secrets which is the first book I published, The House of Murder and Demon Hunter Lost Memories. Each of these books are going to be part of a series so I am updating them and adding new scenes. The names will be different also with new book covers. The stories will remain the same but be different.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?

Do you have any advice for new authors?
My advice to new authors is find out what inspires you. Read a lot of books to expand your imagination. And most importantly never give up, keep trying and keep writing. Stay encouraged.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
The best advice I’ve ever heard was from my mother and father, they told me to never give up, keep going. They also said for the race is not given to the swift nor the battle to the strong, but he that endures to the end shall receive a crown.
What are you reading now?
Currently searching for new books to read.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Well, I plan on releasing two more books this year along with the ones that I am updating.
