Q: When did you realize you wanted to be a writer?
A: Being inspired by my mother, a reporter, I jotted things in notebooks from a very early age. I penned my first screenplay at sixteen and it was then I decided it was something I was genuinely interested in but I did not really envision myself as a writer until college.
Q: How and when did you make this dream a reality?
A: I began writing my first (completed) novel on a family vacation in 2004. By the time it was eight chapters long I realized that I just had to see it published and began my hunt. The book was completed and published in 2006. It was August when I held my author copy in my hands. I cried.
