Ife Oshun I'm not sure if it's fictional, but I'd go back in time to the era of The Book of Ezekiel (The Bible). I'd check out the UFO he describes; it sounds pretty bad-ass.
Ife Oshun The audio versions of A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, and A Storm of Swords.
Ife Oshun There's a heap of mystery around my grandfather. During the early 20th century, he returned to Barbados after studying abroad and established what would become a thriving metaphysical practice. He routinely healed people as they spoke to him on the telephone, wrote about the power of positive thinking, and eventually expanded the business, based at the sprawling family estate, to include the services provided by my mother--who was at the time a young, powerful medium. Years later before leaving his fortune to the family, he announced his future plan -- reincarnation in Japan. He passed away from this plane of existence before I arrived. It may sound fantastic, but it's completely true. And although I never laid physical eyes on him, my grandfather has always been my closest family member.
Ife Oshun When it comes to the term "couple," I think it pertains to any two people regardless of sexual connection. So I would have to say my favorite couple is Frodo and Sam. That relationship has truly stood the test of time and continually serves as a testimony to honor, love, and tenacity. And for the record, no, I don't think there was a homosexual component to their friendship.
Ife Oshun I sit down and write. To me writer's block is a passive form of procrastination. :-)
Ife Oshun The best thing is when the characters come to life and demand you tell their story. They start writing it for you!
Ife Oshun Keep writing. Don't ever stop. Don't let anyone tell you you can't do it.
Ife Oshun The first book in the To Protect and Serve Series. It features Justin McCarthy, one of Angelica Brown's love interests in the Angelica Brown Series. It's a dark, NA crime drama.
Ife Oshun I read previously written work, whether it's something published or just ideas and back stories I've written in a notebook somewhere.
Ife Oshun The idea for Heart To Heart (release date November 3, 2014) and the entire Angelica Brown Series came from an idea I had for a television series when I was interning as a writer on Star Trek. I was inspired by the late singer Aaliyah and the concept of "the Cosby Show meets Dark Shadows."
