2. When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer?
When I was thirteen and wrote my first short story in English class. I got an A+. And my teacher bragged on me in class. She told me to pursue writing because I have a lot of talent and something very special that should be shared with the world. Teachers have a way of seeing things that you don't see in yourself.
3. Where do you get your information or ideas for your book?
My huge multicultural, interracial, bi-racial family, my own life experiences, lots of weird imagination and research.
4. What was one of the most surprising things you learned whilst writing your book?
Nothing surprising, just being myself. Doing what I like doing in my own unique way from scratch.
5. Do you have any suggestions to help others become better writers? If so, what are they?
Procure your talent whatever that may be. Success and being rich are not the same thing. There are a lot of people who aren't rich but are extremely successful. I happen to be one of them. I'm a real life published author. I have also published other authors. Success takes a lot of hard work, patience and dedication and you have to consistently work at it. Being rich may be a bonus but it isn't the obvious result.
6. Do you hear from your readers much? What kinds of things do they say?
I always hear from my readers. I'm always humbled by the hard work I have put in and the reactions of my readers in being able to relate to my characters or something in the story.
7. What do you think makes a good story?
Complex and compelling characters, plot, story.
8. Do you have any writing goals, and if so, what are they?
To publish more of my books on Amazon.
9. What helps or motivates you to write?
Everything. I have a very active brain.
10. What is your writing schedule like?
I write daily. That's it.
