Tell us what you enjoy most about writing [genre].

I get to create a whole new world when I write—a world that's mine, with whatever creatures I bring to life! I get to transport my readers to that world. When I write, I find the greatest joy and peace.

Have you been able to incorporate your previous experience in [jobs/education] in your writing?

I chose a path in marketing, social media, and branding, and I feel it greatly supports my books and finding my place as someone in literature.

I intentionally took that direction to gain some knowledge needed for when I would share my books with the world.

Did you have any say in the cover design?

Absolutely, I pick my cover designs myself. I have to have the last say on the final product.

What can we anticipate from you moving forward?

I have many new ideas and a new book coming in my Stranger series, as well as something I'm working on that's a bit closer to where I originally started when I first wrote, but it's still in the finalizing process.

Did you always want to be an author? If not, what did you want to be when you grew up?
