Write for yourself. Your story, your characters. There will always be different tastes, likes/dislikes no matter how you write. Be true to yourself (or your fantastic self) and write the books you want to write.

Other than bringing stories to life, hands down, it is the ability to connect with people. Readers, burgeoning writers, tackling hot topics...being a writer opens up conversations where they never would have otherwise been able to exist.

Travel and playlists! Setting is so key to being inspired to write. I like to put my self into the experience of my characters and my imagination runs wild. It's part of who I am.

I am working on the follow up to Penance. Penance: Unredeemable is the next step in FBI agent Alex Penance's journey.

I always make a specific playlist for my #WIP (work in progress). Sometimes I will make scene specific playlists. In the process of finishing a novel, a song from my playlist will come on and the inspiration to write is immediate.

My latest book Penance (in the professional edit stage) was inspired by my experiences and travels. Penance is about a star FBI agent struggling with past mistakes while being banished to a small southern town he has no intention to like in any manner.
Like Agent Alex Penance, we all make mistakes. This book is about coming to terms with those mistakes and putting yourself on a path of redemption. Penance explores softening of hearts to accept the yourself and others for who they are.
