I'm so proud and grateful to say that I finished writing my very first series and I can't wait for all of it to be released for you all to enjoy it. Now that I finished my first series, I have started working on my next one. I don't want to give anything away, but I hope to create a historical fantasy adventure that you all enjoy.

Not sure certain if I actually have a method for dealing with writer's block. When I am writing and get stuck somewhere within my story, I just stop writing and walk away from it. Because I spend so much time in my own head thinking about wild and absurd things, I eventually come up with something to help push my story forward.

In general, I love a good story. My favorite stories come from comic books, anime, video games and other stories in pop culture. It is these sources of media that inspire and motivate me to create and write my own stories. For example, the stories that inspired me to write my first book, A God's Game, are Game of Thrones, and the animes, Death Note and Gantz.

I always felt like in life people don't have as much control over their lives as they would like or believe that they have. Life is detailed and vast, but also very restricted. Everyone has dreams and goals, but not everyone gets to see them through. The best thing about being a writer is that you have no such restrictions. You can create a world and set whatever rules, morals, and concepts that you desire. As a writer you are the master of the world and life you create.

It is hard to explain where I got the idea for my book. I spend most of my time thinking about different subjects, some intense, some wild, and some taboo. But because of that I was able to create what I believe to be an interesting and captivated story that evolved from just a single question: what would happen if bored gods played a game that always ended in a tie?
