Pieces was inspired by a song. The first time I heard "Pieces" by "RED" I had a vision of a boy. That boy turned into Hayden Aames, and his actions formed the novel.

Music inspires me to write. When I hear a great song for the first time I usually get an idea for a book. Listening and feeling the brokenness of those around me propels me to create pure beauty in my storylines. If I'm working with an already written novel, then the excitement of getting back into conversation with my characters helps me start off the day on the right finger.

I just finished the editing process with my upcoming novel "Pieces". I'm also working through a revision of my next novel to be sent to my editor.

Don't stop writing. Never give up. Tell your story with all your heart and somebody, somewhere, will be transformed by it.

The best thing about being a writer is having the freedom to create something beautiful. An experience I will never grow weary of is having the characters surprise me with something. If you're a writer, I hope you get to experience this one day.

Generally, I don't get writer's block. I practice writing every day and have a many projects going on. If I'm not feeling creative with a novel I'm working on, then I switch gears and focus on marketing or editing an older work.
