When did you know you wanted to be an author? Do you remember and can you share a specific time or story of when you knew?

I started writing when I realized that if I wanted to draw comics, there needed to be a story to draw. I did not know any writers so I taught myself how to tell stories. As I got older, the urge to write a novel was strong so I tried it and liked it. I’ve never looked back.

What do you love reading? What are some of your favorite books and authors? Why?

I like to read a variety of genres. I don’t read as much since I started writing full time, but some of my can’t miss authors are Michael Connelly, Alex Kava, Paul Bishop, Van Allen Plexico, and more. I also still enjoy reading comics.

Tell the readers about who has been influential in your writing career and why?

Influences come from everywhere. In terms of writing, I looked at the books of authors I liked to read. I was influenced in their style and voice. Harriette Austin was a great teacher and influenced me to continue ever onward. My parents influenced me with their work ethic. I’ve made great friendships with writers over the years. I am influenced by their output, their support, and their friendship. It is great to know that if I ask a question, they are there for me. I try to do that for others as well. On that same topic, I was influenced early on by writers who would not answer my questions. I never wanted to be that kind of writer. I watch guests at conventions. I learned a great deal about how to treat your fans from guys like George Perez, Jonathan Maberry, John Hartness, and Avery Brooks. I also learned what not to do by watching others. I take my influences wherever I can find them.

What are your favorite craft books? (For example, Stephen King’s On Writing). Why?

On Writing is a pretty good read. As a kid, I devoured How To Draw Comics The Marvel Way. Beyond that, I don’t really read a lot of craft books.

What goes through your mind as you are writing?

All the things I could be doing instead of writing. The distractions start the moment I sit down.

What do you wish you had known when you first started writing? Why?

I wish I had known better how the business worked. I also wish I had stayed focused. I allowed myself to be pulled off of the course I had set for myself. It was a fantastic diversion, but it pulled me off my planned course.
