When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
Many things. Always have to stay busy. First and foremost, my family. Spending as much time with them as possible. When not with my family, I read. I read a lot of historical information. I gather inspiration from this. I am also an avid gamer. Mostly sports titles.
I have a background in radio and video as well. So,, I enjoy writing short scripts and creating short films.
Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
Yes. It actually is a short script, not an actual book. It is called "Atonement". I really like the idea of redemption. It's a great basis for almost any character. Everyone has a demon.
