I got the idea for Rebel To the Light from a history assignment that I had to do.

I started writing at a very young age, I produced my first journal-level article when I was twelve, the article was on the US government shutdown, I had interviewed the US ambassador, and turned it into a four page article. I think that I just enjoy writing down my thoughts, and it happened to be that my imagination restarted while I was writing Rebel To the Light.

That's a secret, it's diffrent from my last project, all I can say is I think that people who liked my first book will like this one as well.

Don't give up. If it takes a year or five, you'll get there, if you give up, you'll never get published. Try to get a publisher, I personally went with Arslan Publishing because I know its founder, however, they accept most new author's manuscripts, so shoot your shot.

I try to relax, I only get writer's block when I'm forcing myself to write, I usually go to the gym or go cycling when I block out.

I wouldn't exactly like that, but in terms of books that I'd want to live or experience, The Giver is one that has always stuck with me.

I would say, A Promised Land is no.1 on there, other than that I have, White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism, and The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America. These are the books that I will definetly be reading.
