Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a single parent of a beautiful daughter. I was born and raised in Washington, DC and have what some may deem to be an unnatural obsession with The Walking Dead.
I have currently self-published three books; Job: A Modern Perspective, Sins of a Father and The Prodigal sons.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is titled, The Prodigal Sons. I grew up in church, and one of my favorite stories was the parable of The Prodigal Son.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I think my most unusual habit is the fact that I rarely complete one book at a time. I conclude my novels as the inspiration comes to me. I had the rough draft for my latest book completed when the inspiration for Job: A Modern Perspective came to me.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Most of my books are modern adaptions of Bible parables and stories so I would have to say that the Bible is a huge influence.
I am also a HUGE fan of Stephen King.
What are you working on now?
I am currently working on a manuscript about a troubled relationship between two brothers. I am hoping to have that project complete by December.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
My greatest flaw is that I do not professionally promote my books. I am trying to do better with that in the coming new year.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
I still consider myself to be a new writer, but I guess I would have to say, never give up. If writing is truly your passion, write.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
The best advice that I have ever heard came from my mom when I was a child. She told me to always treat people that way that I want to be treated.
What are you reading now?
I am currently reading Girl Last Seen by Nina Laurin.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I would love to ultimately have my books adapted into movies.
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?
The Bible
The Color Purple
Stephen King’s It
