I got the idea for The Best Possible Angle from observing our culture's fascination with celebrity and the pervasive thirst for fame. It's been interesting to watch people become famous simply by cultivating a following on social media. I also wanted to create a story that would ask the reader to examine their own moral compass.

I read amazing writers who inspire me to write well. I also watch films that tap my creative vibrations.

I have five projects that I am working on.

Two things: You have to love yourself and your talent a whole lot because not everyone will get your voice. That's not entirely a bad thing. Everything is not meant for everyone. Secondly, if you are self-publishing, and you intend to put your work out into the ether for someone to purchase, then you owe it to yourself and your readers to put the best product out there that you can. From editing, formatting to cover design. You can't put substandard crap out there and expect people to rush to buy it, and not feel jipped when they realize what they've bought. It saves time and money getting it right the FIRST time. Believe me, I know!

I get to make a living making things up.

the best way for me to deal with writer's block is either to write a scene that takes place further into the story I'm writing or work on a different project altogether.
