The first story I've ever wrote had to be a short story I wrote in High School. I never thought I would make it amount to anything, but it currently is being turned into the "Seven" series of books.

I tend to get a lot of inspiration from things I watch on television. I like to focus on fiction novels/novellas, but I usually start out free writing on a topic I am interested in, and the free writing turns into a full story. I take notes to keep my mind up to date when I stop writing for periods of time. I have notebooks full of possible endings, things to happen etc... all for the same book.

I like to read non-fiction / biographies. Mostly war stories and biographies / autobiographies about people I enjoy watching entertain.

I use my android device to read the books I read.

My desk is a kitchen table, organized with pens, i refuse to write with pencils. A lot of notepads as well. Most of them are full

I grew up in Northern Maine, but it hasn't directly influenced my life. There have been a few people I've met that made an impact on me so I used their personality for a character I've been writing about though.

I first started writing for fun after I turned 18.

I am a fan of suspense / thrillers, but all of it has been made up to this point there is no story behind the creation of it.

Ease of publishing compared to going through a bigger company.

So far, they are making the publishing process seamless and easy.
