July 2 question: 
Is there a genre you haven't tried writing in yet that you really want to try? If so, do you plan on trying it?

When I had an agent, she encouraged me to write magical realism. I tried and failed miserably. However, I do like to write different genres: My books consist of Christian, Fantasy, Dystopian, Mystery, Psychological Thriller, and Contemporary.

June 4 question - What were some books that impacted you as a child or young adult.

I'm sitting here trying to remember what books impacted me as a child, and I can't remember my parents ever reading to me. As a young adult I remember reading The Shining. Scary, but good. Animal House, 1984, and The Catcher in the Rye were mandatory reading in school. What I learned from my English teachers was the underlining meanings in these books. Very interesting.

While I became a voracious reader, I was very much enamored with all kinds of movies.

May 7 question - Some common fears writers share are rejection, failure, success, and lack of talent or ability. What are your greatest fears as a writer? How do you manage them?

When my writing journey began I feared ALL the above. Years later, some of those fears have lessened, but still brewing under my skin. 

Now, I fear age. I know age shouldn't be a factor for a writer, but in this new world of marketing - Instagram and TikTok, making videos, etc...I can't compete with any of that. I try, but I'm a social introvert. 

What writer fears do you have?

March 5 question - If for one day you could be anyone or *thing* in the world, what would it be? Describe, tell why, and any themes, goals, or values they/it inspire in you.


My thought was to be JK Rowling's brain, when the tale of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone popped into her head. And be a part of that moment when she began penning this Amazing series.

Perhaps I could glean some inspiration, learn a few things from how her brain works. LOL 😃

I deleted my first answer to this question> Which was to be one of Jesus's apostles on the boat to see Him walk on water...but thought it might be too controversial.
