What motivates you as a writer?
​
​
Stories captivate me. Always have, always will. I grew up camping with my mom and grandma and brothers. Nothing was better than sitting around the campfire telling stories. Except maybe listening to the slow drawl of my grandpa’s voice as he talked about the scars he had from WWII, or my dad telling his own stories about his adventure-filled life. I love stories in every shape and form. God has me hardwired to tell stories and writing stories for His glory honors that in a way that takes my breath away.
What types of books do you like to read?
​
Fantasy mostly. Though I genuinely love choose your own adventure books. I also love light romance and sci-fi.
How has becoming a writer affected your own reading habits?
​
I find I read less fiction and more nonfiction now. I also read a lot more of what my author friends are reading and less by perusing the shelves myself.
