I believe in my dream to be an author. What started this dream? In a way I always wanted to be an author. Since Elementary school I wrote fictional stories. I remember my mom helping me spell out the hard words until I learned how to spell them on my own. And even after Elementary school, I kept writing. I wrote when I was sad, bored, or just wanted an escape from the world. It was in high school, when my first book started taking shape that I realized I wanted to write for a living. I hated being pulled away from the fictional world that I was creating. It was my need to write, the urge to pick up a pen and document my thoughts that made me realize I wanted to be an author. What motivates you to follow this dream? When I think about what motivates me to write and strive toward becoming an author, I think about the impact my writing can have on others. When I wasn’t writing as a kid, I was reading. And I got lost in books when I felt like I needed some sort of a guide. When I was lonely, or just needed time to work something out, I’d open up a new book and somehow always find the answers within its pages. That’s what I think about when it comes to my writing. If I can somehow help someone, or change their day in some small way for the better, then I am happy to do so. I want to become an author so others can get lost in my stories just as I got lost in stories when I was a kid (and even now). What are your goals? I have many future goals for my writing. My closest goal is to get my book Variant Wars – The Prisoners published. After that I would like to continue to write the Variant Wars series and other series that I want to introduce in the near future. I have some long term goals too. I would like to remain an avid reader and writer for as long as time allows. I want to continue to create new worlds for myself and others to explore. And I want to continue to bring up important questions and conversations within my writing as well. Personally I have always seen myself as a writer. One of my biggest goals is just to stay true to my identity as a writer and not let critics and self-doubt tear me down. What would you like people to know and where can we find you? Aside from reading and writing, I love watching movies. I’m an animal lover and an avid tea drinker. Science fiction is my favorite genre, but I also love fantasy. I’m always open to reading new kinds of literature that I can get my hands on. I’m also a comic book fan and a lover of superhero movies.
