What are you passionate about?
I love telling stories about individuals who are thrust in to a world and/or situation that is way beyond their knowledge and capabilities. Yet, in the end, they change that world and themselves, for better or for worse.
What gives you energy and motivates you?
Knowing that something, that was once completely nothing, came from my head and on to a page, and people are watching it, reading it and being entertained and inspired by it.
What keeps showing up again and again in your stories or the stories you love to read?
They are mostly about young adults who had no idea they were part of a supernatural world, or that the world even existed. They are then thrust in to this world and become an essential part of it.
What is important to you creatively? Do you want to educate? Entertain? Scare?
I do want to entertain, taking my readers and viewers in to a world way beyond that of their own, yet can somehow fit right in to it. I also like incorporating a spiritual undertone, where you have to decide if it was a human choice or a higher power at work that was an essential part of the story.
Do you have a personal cause or agenda that defines you?
No, not really. I guess, as I've said, my stories tend to have a spiritual undertone. I'm not a religious person, per say, but I do have a fondness for a higher calling and God.
What types of books do you enjoy? Movies?
As far as books, I enjoy writing young adult fantasy novels, modern day fairy tales, as well as books that have a bit of a horror vibe mixed in with the fantasy. Stories that showcase the world I live in, but has this one major element that makes it completely different, that's secret to "regular" people. Movies are generally similar.
What types of stories did you like as a child?
As a child, I was a big fan of comic books featuring superheroes that saved the day and was an inspiration to his or her community. Also, I loved to read about folklore and mythology of my culture, as well as others around the world - talking about mystical beings, magic, heroes and evil with a motif at the end.
