What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Shattered its part of a series called Shattered Hearts Series. What inspired it? I had taking a creative writing class as an elective my senior year in college called creative writing. (figured easy A need to make up credits some how right?) We had to write two short stories this ended up being the second story I wrote. It still has its originally characters but the story has morphed into so much more.

No unusual writing habits. Just I have a massive amount of journals and tend to write across all of them instead of just using one at a time.
