The first story I wrote was in the first grade for Young Authors. It was a terrible, shitty story that had my mother as a witch. I don't think she ever saw it, and it had no reflection on my childhood. I just had no ideas, clearly.

Though I wrote over the years, including lyrics, I didn't write anything good until the eighth grade, so I'll say age fourteen. I wrote a poetry anthology, and won The Young Authors Award.

Chicago business mogul Nicholas Sloane appears to have it all: money, sex appeal, and hordes of women eagerly seeking access to both. Only one thing threatens Nic’s empire, the vigilante known as Valiant. This mysterious figure seems determined to foil all of Nic’s more dubious business ventures, and it’s beginning to hurt the bottom line. There seems only one thing left for Nic to do.

Enter Reese Alexander, a young woman whose powers could rival even those of Valiant. A lifetime of poverty and neglect have left her with little confidence in her abilities, but Nic is positive she’s just the person to vanquish his adversary.

Will Nic find success in overthrowing Valiant with an unsuspecting Reese?

Well, mostly because I hadn't found an agent. Still haven't, for the record.

I didn't want the literature to die inside of me, so becoming an indie author seemed like the way to go.

It's a good way to get the voices out of my head.

Kidding!

The greatest joy...knowing that my talent comes from my beloved grandmother. Entertaining myself while being able to entertain others. Hopefully telling a story you haven't seen before.

I have a fourth novel I need to finish, but my main focus at the moment are my scripts. I have about five I need to finish and/or polish.

While writing takes up a mass amount of time, I also spend a huge amount of time seeing movies [in the theatre] or going to comic cons. Those seem to be the three slices that make up the pie graph of my life.

I like to visualize things first, usually before bed. I view my stories in my mind's eye like a movie.

Green Eggs & Ham. I love that book. It is such a great, childhood memory. It started my love of books, I believe.

I'm not a traditionalist. I usually have a very clear vision as to what I want for my covers, and I find an artist to bring it to life. I go more for style than anything, I think.

I actually prefer a book over an e-reader...
