What inspires you to write?
Since I was in high school I've drempt of becoming a full time author, I would spend hours reading sci-fi and fantasy, paranormal and adventure novels from various authors. In my junior year I decided to chase my dream and I sat behind my computer and the ideas for my own universe pulsed through my fingers.

I would say, I'm a seat of the pants writer, but I also sketch out characters, worlds, skylines, alien heiroglyphics and starships ranging from single-manned fighters to massive dreadnoughts.

For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
I talk to my characters, not just the main character but all the characters in the story which is created.

Where do I start – I have many favorite authors, Frank Herbert, Tolkien, Lewis, Orson Scott Card and more. My favorite books were Dune, Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit and Ender's Game.

It wasn't easy for me, the research I did to find the right publisher brought to a bunch of vanity publishers and with my past experience dealing with vanity publishers. I finally decided to go indie and self-publish through Amazon.

I believe versatility of book publishing is promising and has potential for much more.
