Smashwords Interview

Describe your desk
I wrote The Harvest, my first book, at a bar called McFinns on the southside of Oklahoma City. Nobody ever hung out in the back room of the bar, so I had no distractions, and I wrote my second book at another Southside bar called The Ally. Currently, my desk is my couch, lol
Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I grew up in Seaside Heights, NJ; not sure how it affected my writing other than my father was catholic and my mom was a Baptist, so I went to both, so I am Batholic, religion or rather, the misdeeds of faith are a big part of my writing. I think denomination mixing plays a role in that.
