What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
It's like free therapy. I'd have a good day and the world I was creating would come alive instantly. Alternatively, after a bad day, I was able to vent my frustrations with reality through the characters and conflicts. I threw myself into the writing and editing as a way to deal with my grief over losing family members several times this year. At a certain point, the joy of writing is the same as reading: the ability to escape into a different world and different way of thinking. It is freedom at its finest.
What are you working on next?
I am currently working on the second book in the Nova Nocte series as well as developing two other stories. One will be a young adult dark fantasy. The other is a story that details a young man's journey through the afterlife.
