What are your ambitions for your writing career?
Just to have my books read. I have never anticipated profiting great sums of money from my creations. My goal is too share to as many people as possible and to receive feedback, good or bad. Feedback on what I write gives me knowledge in how I can improve. So it important people not only tell me whether or not that like what I write but why?

Which actress would you like to see playing you in your most recent book if it was adapted for the big screen?
Jack’s mother, Lorene is the only female in the book. Due to age limitations defined by Lorene I would probably choose Jennifer Lopez, an actress who would be of an age to have a son like Jack and be able to act the role of a woman who could portray sophistication she acquires as she ages. But I pictured a blonde, someone more like Kate Hudson for her appearance. My final choice would be Kate Blanchet. She could depict a strong woman who has struggled to survive yet still carry her dignity loftier than most women to say she is well versed, educated but has the tact to be straight forward, honest, and sincere. Regardless of the looks, any woman would have to portray a strong, dignified woman as the story progressed.

How do you think you’ve evolved creatively?
My creativity is constantly evolving. It depends on how well I relate to the voice that inspires me to create the words and images I visualize. Sometimes, my voice is clear and to the point. Sometimes, I have to watch my progress to make sure not to lose that inner motivation that creates my story. If I am writing too fast or slow I lose sight of what I see or don’t hear what the voice says.  I transcribe the images, the settings, the characters and their interactions from that voice I hear, I see into and transcribe it all into words. One problem has emerged in the evolution of my writing could be my need to have complete privacy from the phone and interruptions. I used to be able to write above outside interferences; I actually thrived upon them.

How long on average does it take you to write a book?
If I can write regularly, about four months. Researching, writing, rewriting, rewriting, rewriting, editing, editing and editing account for that amount of time. I rewrite as I write. I also edit as I write. But I do that all several times after the rough draft of the story is finished.

How do you relax?
Funny as it may sound, I relax by doing physical therapy exercises with a yoga approach, more like meditation in motion. It allows me to center and focus and withdraw from my external environment. I concentrate on breathing, the movement of the exercise as it relates to my body, and the count of the repetition; all which brings me an inner feeling of calm. The key to bringing this state is not to rush and pace myself.
