Hey Judy, sorry for the late response. Haha, no relation to Tony. One of my biggest inspiration for my characters are from the people I’ve met. Qualities or actions that feel real and genuine that readers can connect with.

The most recent book I have published as of now is The Finn: Revenge will Surface. Originally book one was a stand alone, however I felt inspiration to make a part two. The novel and film Jaws, were a huge inspiration for series with homages that only true fans will catch. I like to refer to the series as a reimagining of it's inspiration.

It was just one of those things that I never really knew that I would love to do until I tried it. Now I just can't get enough as my third book makes its way through the editorial stages. I am preparing to write my newest series this coming summer.

Just keep writing as much as possible. It's very cliche, but it is true.

I usually just turn to alcohol... Just kidding. I create a scene in my head and write it down. I also turn to other mediums that inspire my ideas.
