What are your future works in progress?

What inspired you to become an author?

I want to impact future generations with my writing to challenge their ability to record for legacy or posterity’s sake. Also, I read an article I was convinced was written by, let’s just say someone likely, substantially my junior. I was appalled at what I read because it was presumptive and untrue. The whole writing piece interpretation was far off the discourse of the subject matter and I thought, is this what this generation is reading and ascribing to as a voice of authority? I thought better of it and figured I may as well make my contribution for positive change and story telling. 

Who has the greatest influence on your writing style?

I believe my faith has the greatest influence.

  What is your greatest challenge as an author?

Remaining consistent in writing. Scheduling time to sharpen the craft. 

Tell us something that people may not know about you that they might find interesting. Is there anything you would like for readers to know?

I fell in love with typing in 7th grade. I have only loved Jesus and typing; it is my 2 most favorite things in the world. Typing/writing is a passion I have, it is calming and the best avenue of expression that does not require any physicality of the body, only the mind/heart.
