Tell us a little bit about yourself, your hobbies and interests.

I'm an aviation aficionado, enjoy traveling, and love to read. I also enjoy visiting museums and spending time with my family.

When and why did you start writing books?

I wanted to be a writer since I was an eight-year-old kid. I found it thrilling to spend my days at the library, gorging on books. For long form prose or novels, I started writing about a decade ago.

What made you decide to tackle writing as a career?

My own kids. Their creativity sparked the desire in me to tackle writing again.

Which one of your books or characters is your favourite?

In my Children of Alpheios debut novel, Kiean is my favorite character. His motivations and background are not what the reader may first believe.

Which one of your books was the hardest to write and stretched you the most as a writer?

My Children of Alpheios debut novel. It took me several years to write that book, and many revisions.

Who is your favourite author and book?

There are too many but off the top of my head, but I love the Murderbot series by Martha Wells. I also greatly enjoy reading fantasy books from Fairyloot.

What book are you reading right now?

I'm about to tackle Sarah Maas's House of Sky and Breath series.

Where do you get your inspiration for your books?

Usually during a good spin workout. Moving and music kicks in my story.

What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?

Trying a new restaurant or viewing a movie

Do you have any new books in the works?

Yes! I'm finishing up my Children of Alpheios series with a second book and third book for a trilogy.
