What inspires you to write?
What inspires me to write are dreams, books, movies, and ideas.
Tell us about your writing process.
I am 'the pants writer'. I do not outline, whiteboard, or use software to create my characters. I simply become my characters. For example, I create a character name Lisa. Depending on the the story, theme, plot, etc. Lisa may have the personality of a charming, manipulative, selfish, and greedy woman. When given the opportunity to write about Lisa- I immediately become Lisa. I have the ability the switch my personality as my characters.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
Definitely. Not only do I listen and talk to my characters, I make them talk. It's important for writers to listen, talk, and make their characters talk. In other words, the writer should become acquainted with every inch of their characters. They should become acquainted with their feelings, moods, motives, and yes, their personalities they are responsible for creating.
Who are your favorite authors?
I have several favorite authors. One author I have grown to love is Harlan Coben.
What genres do you write?
I am a multi-genre writer.
How did you choose the genre(s) you write?
I became a multi-genre writer by impulse. What I mean by becoming a multi-genre writer by impulse? For example, I may get the urge to write a horror book for the month of May. The next two months, I may become interested in writing a western book. A few months down the line, I may become encourage to write a nonfiction book about health, art, or nutrition. My mind never shuts off when it comes to book ideas.

The three things on my writing desk at this given moment are candles, books, and a mug of green tea.
