I don't know that I have a process when I write, I just get inspiration, sit down, and put my thoughts on the screen. Once they are out of my head and in my computer, I go and try to make sense of what I just wrote. Sometimes I write one sentence a day and sometimes I write three to four chapters. It all depends on the inspiration and when it strikes me. But I do try and write at least one hour a day... ;)

The first story I ever read was The Stand by Stephen King. It was not what inspired me, but it definitely opened my eyes to the possibilities. There are endless things to write about, we just need to focus on one at a time and take the journey to completion.
Believe me, The journey is definitely worth the trip.

Cover designs can be tricky. The way I have my covers designed is classic, I guess. My graphic designer and I sit down and discuss my book and we pull ideas from the characters and story. I try to implement a few characteristics from my book so the reader gets an idea of what the story might be like. so far, so good!

I love all books but my absolute favorite books are supernatural thrillers. I love escaping reality. Sometimes we need a break from the mundane, and come on, can you tell me that you have never fantasized about a strong, beautiful avenging creature? I have and I love that writers can still grab my attention with their heroes. Bad guys are my favorite...but you didn't hear that from me... ;)

I read the Bible. I like reading fiction and romance because I like to see love grow between two characters. That is something that is very rare to see in real life.

I have them all...truthfully, but I won't go anywhere without my iPad.

Which one? LOL
I have a desk in every room in the house. I have a desk in my living room, my kitchen, my bedroom, my patio, you just never know when you will need to write something down. Hence, the reading and writing devices. ;)

I was born and raised in deep South Texas, the good old Rio Grande Valley. I grew up listening to stories my grandfather told us as children. I learned of ancient urban legends, true stories that no one will ever believe, and fantastical tales of conquistadores and heroes of old. Being of Spanish descent we grow up with tales of La Llorona, the Cucuys that prowl at night and everything in between.

I started writing while I was still in high school. One of my teachers gave me an assignment, to write an essay on an urban legends. I let my imagination soar, and I fell in love with the written word. Dante Alighieri inspired a few of my thoughts throughout the years. OH, that Divine Comedy!!!

The story behind my latest book is one that is near and dear to me. In the Bible we find that Nephilim were hated abominations of God, hence they were all destroyed. In my story, I give them life, love and a chance at redemption. Who knows? :)

I like to have total autonomy of my work. I decide what I write, the style I want to use, and how long it goes. It is very lucrative as you control when and how much you write.

The greatest joy of writing for me is knowing that people will read my stories and live them out with me as I wrote them. I want them to laugh when I laughed, and I want them to cry when I cried. If I know that that happened, then I know my job is understood and done.

The fans make us who we are. They raise our stories to the roof and spread them through the world so other people enjoy the work that we do for them. Without the fans, we are nothing.

I am working on the following books in each trilogy. They are coming very soon, but it takes time to create a perfect world.

Edgar Allen Poe, Dante Alighieri, and Stephen King are some of my favorite authors. The authors I read mostly are Katie Macalister, Karen Marie Moning, and Sylvia Day...they are the best romance authors out there...bar none.

I am always writing, but I take time everyday to spend quality time with my children, who are amazing, and the love of my life. Without family we are nothing, but dust in the wind.

My children are what inspire me to drag myself out of bed each morning. They give me strength and humility to take those extra steps each day. They have inspired me to be better and for them I will always do anything I can so they will always be proud of their mommy.

Everywhere and anywhere...

It sounds cliché, but the first story I ever wrote was about Vampires...not like twilight or anything out there...there is always a way to twist things around and make them better.

Smashwords, Barnes and Noble, and Kobo have helped my work be known.

They are the gateway that has allowed my work to know it's beginnings.
