A Quick Q&A

How would you describe yourself? Curious, creative, hardworking, and no-nonsense. I’m very much about digging in and doing the work. With that said, I do have a sense of humor and love to laugh. Working with good people is a priority.

What do you write? Fiction. Novels and novellas. Quests, capers, and mysteries.

What’s one of your mantras? Hard work works.

Writing aside, what do you geek about? Many things. Food. Movies. Star Wars. Yelling at the Yankees. I’m actually a big fan of baseball in general, not just the Yankees. Photography (I’m slowly learning about this). Coffee. Books. Working out.
