A Goodreads user asked Vincent B. Davis II:

I'm sure this has been asked before: when did you start writing and when did you realize it was your career? Loved Bodies in the Tiber and will definitely read more of your books. Your ability to put the reader in a time and place is admirable. I love historical fiction, but I have rarely encountered a writer who does it so well.

Vincent B. Davis II Hey, Zev! Thanks so much for the question. So I've been writing since I was a kid. There are pictures of me writing Star Wars novels when I was no more than five years old. Then in High School, I used my dreams of being the next JRR Tolkien to slack on my school work, ha! When I got into college I started listening to all the folks who told me it wasn't possible to earn a living as an author, and I began working towards a business degree. It wasn't until after I graduated that I decided if I was ever going to take a risk and follow my dream, now was the time to do it with no spouse, kids, mortgage, etc. So I went all in! The first several months were hard, but a lot of doors have been opened and I've met so many incredible people who have helped me get to this point. To sum it up, I'm not sure if there was ever a moment where I KNEW it was my career until I looked up and realized it already was! But I think being a storyteller was always what I wanted, even before I knew what an author was! Thanks so much for writing, Zev! I'm so thankful for your support and happy to hear that you've enjoyed.

Keep Fighting,
Vincent B. Davis II
