1. When did you decide you wanted to become a writer? When I finished writing the book. I am more of an artist and have let the artwork dictate what was going to be in the story.
 
2. How long did it take you to finish your book? It took me 1  1/2yrs. to write the story.

3. How did it feel when it was finally finished? I felt really excited to have accomplished something so completely, and believe in it so much.

4. How has your publishing process been? The publishing process has been unbelievably quick and full of a wide arrange of emotions.

5. When you pick up a book to read what are you looking for in the story? I look for something that is exciting, adventurous and definitely not bloody and gruesome.
  
6. What do you think is the most important marketing tool for your book? Word of mouth.

7. What advice would you give someone that comes up to you and says they want to write a book? To just start writing things down, not being concerned of the order of events and linking the parts of the story together. I think that many writers give up because they think that they have to create a story the way it is read. When writing Defenders of Naturion, I actually wrote the last chapter first and worked backwards.

8. Do you have any other projects in the works? I am working on book #2 for Defenders of Naturion, and two other children's books but for different age categories. Additionally I am working on possibly doing artwork for another authors book.
