Tell us about your writing process.
I like writing with paper and pen. I just allow the story to flow onto my paper without interruption. I don't outline, I just write. Then afterwards, I transfer all my information into computer.

For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
Most times my characters come to me in my dream. They talk to me, they tell me what they like and don't. Sometimes when I am having difficult with names and all that, they tell me what to call them.

What advice would you give other writers?
The art of writing and marketing is a tough one, and can be overwhelming. So you need to take one step at a time, just like a baby that is learning how to walk. Enjoy every moment.

How did you decide how to publish your books?
After years of submitting my screenplays to different agents and no breakthrough, I had an epiphany last December to self publish my book. So far my journey in the self-publishing industry has been interesting but I am ready to learn.

What do you think about the future of book publishing?
Book publishing business has got a lot of prospect, I see it taking over.

What genres do you write?: Christian mystery and suspense

What formats are your books in?: eBook
