What do you want your legacy as an author to be?
My legacy as an author will be a testament to the lives my writing touches, the souls I inspire, and the faith I instill in my readers. I can be, a voice for the voiceless, by encouraging compassion and opening heart to Gods plan.
Do you write by hand or use a computer?
I sit in my recliner, my laptop resting on my knees, and let the words flow. There’s no elaborate planning or meticulous outlining—just a stream of inspiration that seems to pour into me. It feels as though the Holy Spirit imparts the story, guiding my thoughts and fingers as I type. Later, when I read over what I’ve written, I’m often amazed, as if the words came from somewhere beyond me, crafted with a purpose greater than my own.
How do you name your characters?
I am a spiritual Christian and as such I depend on God to impart these to me.. and I believe HE does. The just come to me.
How do you decide on a book’s title?
As I write, the story takes shape, and in time, the perfect title reveals itself. It feels like a natural part of the process, emerging organically as the narrative unfolds.
How do you keep track of your ideas?
I don’t keep track of ideas or plan them in advance—they simply come to me as I write. Each story unfolds naturally, as if guided by an unseen hand. The words flow effortlessly, and the narrative takes shape on its own, surprising even me as it develops.
What’s the one thing you hope readers remember about your books?
I hope that the one thing they remember about my books is that they encourage and inspire them to feel good by the end of the story.
