Q: What inspired you to write the Laila of Midgard series?

A: I lived in Los Angeles when I was in college when I started writing Caught by Demons. At the time I only had time to write from 8 p.m. to midnight on Friday nights and used my writing as an opportunity to vent my frustrations from living in the city. I also find that many of my experienced I had while living abroad influence the series. Originally, I did not intend to publish the series, it was just something I did for fun since I couldn’t afford to constantly buy new books. After college, I had a difficult time finding work and decided to focus on a career in writing, so I finished writing Caught by Demons started looking at publishing options.

Q: How long with the Laila of Midgard series be?

A: At this point, I haven’t decided.

A: Yes, I am, and I’m hoping to get them traditionally published. I also intend to write some short stories related to the Laila of Midgard series.

A: Occasionally, but not many. If you are interested in a review copy of my next book, please fill out the contact form here and include links to any relevant blogs or social media accounts.

Q: Will you review my book?

A: Due to my hectic workload, I am not accepting requests to review books at this time. I simply do not have enough time to finish reviewing copies in a timely fashion.

Q: What advice do you have for an aspiring author?

A: Every time I think I’ve figured out what I’m doing, I quickly reach a point of realization that I have so much more to learn. Keep reading everything you can get your hands on, take classes, attend lectures, and research how to market with social media. There is a great wealth of information available for you out there if you are willing to search for it. Also, build your support group of other authors and writers, great author friends are worth their weight in gold and more!
