WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY
WRITING?
The main two projects I have going right now are untitled at this juncture. The first being an evolving cross-fantasy genre, the story following several characters forced into self discovery due to unforeseen events. The second being a satire following two characters as they become caught in the middle a hero and villains conflict.

WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE AUTHOR? IF YOU HAD 5 MINUTES WITH THEM, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?
Tim Sandlin - I would probably just talk to him and listen. If it had to be about writing then I'd ask about his character creation process and dialogue, otherwise I'd probably ask him what it was like living on camp grounds and which of the 40 plus jobs he's had was the worst or gave the most inspiration.

IF YOU WERE TO WALK INTO A ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE WHAT CAN YOU CONFIDENTLY SAY YOU DO BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE IN THE ROOM?
Loaded question, depends on the room of people I'm walking into... feels like a trap. I excel at making coffee, non-linear conversation (tangents are my thing/ editing is a must), and sarcasm.
