What inspires you to write?
I was slogging through a holiday read when I decided to write my own. I love everything apocalyptic so that ended up being the subject matter. Now I've got two books in the series finished and am writing the third.
Tell us about your writing process.
The first book was a seat of the pants book. I didn't know what was happening. It was both exciting and crazy. Thankfully it worked. The next two novels I wrote I tried the same theory. Didn't work. Haven't released them. Book two of the series was planned and I wrote it in a month. Most of the plans were thrown out the window and expanded on but it worked. Now I plan.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
