Martinsville,
Virginia
What was it that first got you into writing and when did
you start writing?
I've been writing pretty much my entire life. I consider
myself an avid reader and at one point I had gotten bored with new material, so
I took it upon myself to write something that would spark my own interest.
The writers that I can say influenced me the most are
Stephen King, Greg Bear, Ben Bova, and Robert Heinlein
I write mostly
sci-fi and the poetic bug hits me every now and again.
Right now I'm working on the next instalment of my Lunal
City collection and also a few poems.
I write whenever the mood hits me, I don't have a time
set to just write. Ideas seem to hit me at the most inconvenient times, but I
grab them when they come.
The most exciting thing about writing is seeing other
people enjoy the time and effort that I put into creating my work.
The only really frustrating thing is when I get overcome
by writers block, but luckily those instances have been few and far between.
What’s the best piece of feedback that you’ve had from
your audience?
I was told when I was younger to reach for the stars and
that's what I'm still doing to this day, I reach for the stars and I have been
there many many times.
Do you write for a particular audience, or is your first
priority to satisfy your own creativity?
At first I wrote for myself to satisfy my urge, but now I
write for my audience. I want to create a world that people will still be able
to relate to 20 years from now.
Do you have a homepage? Do you have any short stories or
poems published online? (If so, please provide the URLs):
