What inspires you to write?
Life, love, injustice and imbalance. The big questions of the world, which keep me up at night.
Tell us about your writing process.
I make a very loose outline, and then let the story take me where it will. I’m always surprised by the results.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
They mostly talk, and I listen.
Who are your favorite authors?
Caron McCullers (A Member of the Wedding) and Flannery O’Connor (short stories and Wise Blood).
How did you decide how to publish your books?
Zephyros Press is one of the leaders in the type of book I wanted to write — a straight up and simple yet informative book for beginning astrologers.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I think it will be more and more “on the go,” consumed in bites (perhaps bytes is a better word), on phones, laptops and Kindles. I also see that people themselves will become more important in how stories are constructed, perhaps choosing a version (or more than one) of a book that allows them to choose their favorite ending, or to enjoy the book with enhanced content.
