#WritingCommmunity Get to know me as an author! 20 things you didn’t know about me.
**Author Intro Q&A**
1. What's your favorite book you've written?
Dark Justice! It's not finished yet, but it's in the hands of my editor!
2. What inspired you to start writing?
My English teacher, Connie Hilton, from Vinemont High, and reading John Grisham’s novel The Rainmaker.
3. What genre do you love writing most?
Oh, many! Action thrillers, political thrillers, legal thrillers, and a few others. Action thrillers are my absolute favorite!
4. Who is your favorite character you've created?
Hmm. That’s hard. I have so many! But I am going to go with my main character, Harrison Lawrence. He is a DEA agent.
5. What's your writing process like?
When I dream about a story and like it, I immediately go into Google Docs and write down the story idea. I also watch films and read books that inspire me to write stories.
6. Where do you get your story ideas?
For example, if it’s a detective novel, then I’d say Law & Order: Special Victims Unit!
7. What's the hardest part of writing for you?
Self-editing! I have a great editor, too.
8. What's the easiest part?
Writing the actual storyline.
9. Do you plot your books out or write by feel?
I mostly write a story when it comes to me naturally.
10. What's a book you wish you had written?
Oh, man. I'm not sure yet. But if it hasn’t been written yet, then you know me… I will most definitely write it!
11. What are you currently working on?
So many things! I’m currently writing a book about an FBI agent who is tracking down two Russian traffickers and assassins who destroyed his childhood. He must bring them to justice.
12. What's your favorite scene you've ever written?
The scene when my DEA agent, Harrison Lawrence, goes undercover.
13. What do you want readers to feel when they finish your books?
I want them to feel the same way I felt when I was writing my books. I want them to feel like my fictional characters have made an impact on their lives.
14. What's one thing about you that readers would be surprised to learn?
That I could spend 4–5 hours a day writing.
15. What's your favorite book to read when you're not writing?
The Rainmaker by John Grisham!
16. Coffee, tea, or hot chocolate while you write?
I love some Starbucks caramel coffee! It’s usually a frappé!
17. What's your dream writing goal?
To become a bestselling author and have a book turned into a movie! I'd also love to have one of my favorite actors play one of my main characters in the future.
18. Is there a character based on someone in real life?
No.
19. What's the best advice you've gotten as an author?
Write your book, and if you feel like you’re a good author, remember that no book is perfect, even if it’s one hundred percent accurate.
20. Where can readers find your books?
So far, on Amazon and at Barnes & Noble. Nowhere else. They are self-published, but I’m hoping to work with a literary agent someday and have them traditionally published and sold in retail stores.
