What inspires you to write?
I’ve been writing since I was a teenager. It has always felt more like a calling than a hobby or even a career. It’s just always been a part of who I am.
Tell us about your writing process.
It varies, depending on the project. With my most recent book, “Testament,” I had a vague idea of what story I wanted to tell and just went with it. Normally, I prefer to work out an outline first. I often consider a detailed outline to be a first draft.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
Aloud? Not so much. But they are always a part of me.
What advice would you give other writers?
Take the opinions of others with a grain of salt. No one is 100% right about anything. Put more faith in your own past experiences and the lessons learned.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I’ve always preferred to do things on my own and publishing seemed no different to me. I like the control it gives me over every aspect of creating my books.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I think it’s definitely changing. We’re going to see more big name authors choosing the self-publishing route, as they come to realize the benefits and ease of it.
