At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I discovered my love for books when I was 9. It began with reading the Bible’s Revelations, which completely drew me in, and then Stephen King’s books took it to the next level. That’s when my passion for storytelling really ignited, and before long, I was writing my own stories.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
Some of my favorite authors? Stephen King, without a doubt, and the Bible is always a constant source of inspiration. I gravitate toward horror, especially when it’s packed with suspense and action. My writing draws inspiration from King’s knack for suspense and the timeless, powerful stories found in the Bible. It’s that blend of the deeply human and the otherworldly that fuels my creativity.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
My latest book is titled *Light: The Gates of Hades and the Fall of Darkness*. This story has been with me for a long time—25 years in the making. The inspiration came from my childhood reading of the Bible’s Revelations, which scared me but also sparked a deep curiosity. Later, I had a feverish vision of an earth floating above a castle, and that image never left me. After years of gathering ideas and refining the narrative, I finally completed the final draft. It’s a blend of action, horror, and spiritual themes—a true labor of love. You can find it on Amazon now.
