What is your book about?
A String of Stories is a multi-genre short story collection. Each story conveys how relationships influence the characters and their choices.
What inspired you to write your book?
I hoped to one day have enough material to gather together for a short story collection; it took much longer than I thought. I also had stories from a variety of genres and decided to put the collection out there and see what happens.
If you have a business related to your book, tell us about it:
I am a content creator for nonprofits and small businesses.
What is a typical day like for you?
Since I work from home right now, I find more writing time. Once I return to work, I am sure this will shift again but for now it’s great.
What do you most enjoy about what you do?
I like to find out what I think, how to create, to form an idea and built upon it. Sometimes it is instant inspiration but mostly writing is work, very fulfilling and exciting work.
What are some favorite books you’d recommend to our readers?
Dozen: The Best of Breath and Shadow (anthology); Spellmonger series by Terry Mancour; All the Way by Joe Nameth; A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness.
What advice do you have to offer our readers?
Independent publishing is just as demanding as the traditional path but an indie author has much more control. Strive to be a good writer, then work on becoming a great one.
What would people be surprised to learn about you?
That I am blind.
What’s next for you?
A coming-of-age fiction novel, planned to be released in late summer or fall of 2021.
