Immortal survival

4. What movie have you seen the most in your life?

Star Wars.

5. How long have you been working on this story?

Crystal Dragon became an idea in 2005. After three years of playing with the idea, I finally started writing it in 2008. It was originally published in March of 2011, but after multiple revisions, editing, new cover, etc. it was re-published in 2012. In 2014, the cover was revised. So, from start to finish it has been 9 years.

6. How many stories have you written?

I think I’ve lost count. I would say over a 100 but I’ve only published four books.

7. What motivated you to write this story?

I was inspired with an idea I had been playing with for quite some time. The motivation to get it into words and on paper was the kicker. I wanted to see it in print. Plus, I wanted to leave a legacy for my family, something they could be proud of. I had a lot of inspiration for that book from multiple sources, one of which included my family.

8. Apart from writing, what else are you passionate about?

I’m passionate about dancing, martial arts, the outdoors, hiking, reading and spending quality time with family and friends.

9. Any advice or tips you’d like to pass on to other writers?

My advice for other writers is to keep writing, don’t give up, keep reading, learn more about writing and editing, accept constructive criticism, and learn from others in the writing field.
