Interview with D W

Published 2022-07-24.
Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
Central Florida. Town named Ocala. Known for its horses lesser known for the flourishing historical black commerce that was elevated by inequality. The influence is that it would be cool to see more black people in spaces to create opportunities for those with similar backgrounds. I write in duality. To one day create opportunities and options for under served youth of color and to share my gift with those in search of inspiration, creativity, and progress.
Who is your favorite author?
Because the nature of books I like and I am willing to find another, but James Patterson. Especially the Cross series.
I am open to detective murder mystery books by other authors. Please suggest some.
When did you first start writing?
As early as 10. Seriously indulging in the writing experience by 14
What's the story behind your latest book?
I moved into a loft downtown. Two sliding glass doors. But I never got to enjoy it. Too busy working in attempt to pay for it. So I created a character who gets to reflect in some what a similar space.
What motivated you to become an indie author?
The space guys (and girls) like those esteeming Smashwords and other indie publishing is appreciated. Publishing here is a way of me saying thank you. Here is my gift for you keeping us small players needing a platform for exposure in mind. Also, being an independent author eliminates the immediate need for Big Brother.
What is your favorite style of written work?
Murder Mysteries with action. I enjoy positive motivational books that harvest self production. I enjoy poetry read aloud by others. I could consume that all day.
What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
Freedom and creativity. Fictional works allow me to give life to a component of living that may inspire or come true. The motivational non-fiction pieces that are to come are therapy for sharing my journey and hopefully become a way for others to achieve their dreams.
What do your fans mean to you?
They keep me cool and I continue to produce the works and style they deserve.
What are you working on next?
Glass House.
What do you do when you're not writing?
I like searching for inspiration. Visual art and scenic displays are ways I relax and stay creative. I spend fun times with my family.
What inspires you to get out of bed each day?
Life
