writer?When
ecide to
writer?
It happened naturally. I loved poetry and music.
That how I joined my first band, writing lyrics to
music on the spot.
What made you decide
to sit down and actually
start something?
I’ve always started work. I write all the time.
Poetry was fun because I could start and finish
fairly quickly. Short stories and long form, I
struggled with. I had to commit to not letting life
distract me. That happened early 2000’s.

What genre are your
books? What draws you
to this genre?
I would call my book, Horror, Sci-Fi, Thriller
action and adventure. I’ve loved these genres
ever since childhood, with the Saturday creature
features, Godzilla movies, Speed Racer and
Batman with Adam West. It was my thing before
it became a thing.
Where do your ideas
come from?
Lord only knows. ( Laughing ) Often I draw
inspiration from everyday life and situations.
Then I add a twist to those things. Sometimes I
just ask a question and try to answer it by
making something up.
