How long have you been writing?
I've
been writing for fifteen years about. I began working on my fantasy
novel when I was a sophomore in high school and it too me until 2013 to
finish it. It went through a lot of changes.
What is your favorite part about being an author?
The
best part is hearing happy readers. I know what it's like to read a
great book, and that's what I want my readers to feel. Getting those
rave reviews, there's nothing better than that.
If you could jump inside the world of a book, what would you be and what would you do?
I
would be an elf. I find elves fascintating, that's why I like Lord of
the Rings so much. Being a wizard would be pretty cool too.
Could you talk a bit about your publication process?
Well,
I spent a long time trying to find a publishing home, and I thought I
found one, but it turned into a nightmare. I finally decided I could
help others not have to go through the same thing and opened my own
publishing house last year. I have a great team of editors and we
currently have ten novels and 4 kids books. It's been a nice start in
the 9 months we've been open.
Are you working on any other projects?
I'm currently working on the sequel to Torii, but I'm also working on several screenwriting projects as well.
If you could be any person for a day alive, dead, or fictional, who would it be, and what would you do?
President
Lincoln, to be a part of ending slavery would be awesome. But being
either JK Rowling or Stephanie Meyer would be pretty epic too.
