I was unaware of it, but there must be since that isn’t one of my books. I may have to look up my doppelgänger some day. Thanks for the question, and I hope you enjoy one of my books too.

That's an interesting question that I have to answer by categories.
Cartoon: The Flintstones
Fred and Wilma because Fred is constantly getting himself into trouble, but he means well. Regardless of his issues, Wilma still loves him.
TV Sitcom: Friends and How I Met Your Mother
Whether it's Monica and Chandler or Lily and Marshall, both couples have a strong female supporting a loving yet dopey guy. No matter how many times their men put their foot in their mouths, the couple still comes out on top.
Literature: Harry Potter Series
Ron and Hermione fall into the same realm as my other choices. Ron is the everyman that never quite knows what to say. He has good intentions always, but his delivery often gets blundered. Hermione can get annoyed with this, but she still falls for him just the same.
I believe I chose these characters because I identify with their dynamics. In my own relationship, I can find myself being the dopey guy with good intentions that will find myself chewing shoe leather. Luckily I have an amazing woman that is willing to put up with me anyway.

I've loved Greek Mythology since I was a kid. Hours were spent at the library reading about all the different gods. Finally I get to tell my own story based on these myths.

I've always been a storyteller, and one day it just suddenly occurred to me that I should write them down for others to see.

My next book is centered around Greek Mythology.

I could get in trouble from Nike, but I would say to "just do it." Often you wonder if you should and end up coming up with reasons not to finish a project. Get your voice out there and be heard.

Hearing from readers about what they thought about my stories. Good or bad, I love the feedback I get from them.

That would depend on the severity of the writer's block. Usually I can just take a small break to do something else, so I can come back fresh. More often it's finding the time to write that I struggle with.
