1.
Where do you get your writing
inspiration from?
Any situation can be inspiring to me. I take note
of things around me wherever I happen to be.
2.
Did you have to do any research for
your books? If so what?
Lots of research goes into writing many books. I look for things
that make my stories feel more authentic, landmarks, restaurants and other
places of business in cities or towns that are portrayed in my books. I
research protocol, trends as well history. Just about anything that goes into
my books has to be researched.
3.
What are you working on now?
I’m working on a contemporary fiction for the
first time. I’m writing in first person, which is a twist for me. So far, I’m
enjoying writing this book.
4.
What is the hardest part of writing
for you?
I guess, the times that I hit a mental block
because of one of life’s distractions. Sometimes it’s difficult to get back on
track and into the flow.
5.
What can readers expect next?
I’m hoping to have two of my previous works revamped
and republished as second editions later this year. Look for COLD CRAZY and
COLD SERIAL. Two murder mysteries featuring Detective Barnes.
6.
What question have you always wanted
to be asked in an interview and how would you answer that question?
I’m not sure how to answer this question without
getting into trouble. Lol!! Readers always ask who got me started and I don’t
always get where they’re coming from. I think to have success in this world;
people want to know who put you there, or who helped you get to where you are.
How’d you get ‘the hook up?” Well I want them to know, it does take help, but
most of all it takes some pretty hard work and perserverence.

Advice for aspiring authors?
Just do it! Stick to it till it’s done! Do your research and do not
edit as you write…it’ll mess with your flow!
