What is/are the real-life story(ies) behind your book(s)?
Many of my stories are set in Texas (my home state) and are inspired by true-life events, although fictionalized. I find great satisfaction in writing stories set in Texas.
What inspires/inspired your creativity?
My creativity is inspired by my consumption of other works of art i.e. music, film, literature, comics, art, etc. Also, my time with friends and family is a great form of inspiration for me.
