Question 6: Are you a first time author or have you written other books you want to tell us about?
I currently have seven books on the market and I’m working on my eighth. All of my books are fantasy themed, set in a fictional world I’ve created called The Seven Branches. My books are known around the globe and my first book, “Little Men, Big Treasures”, has even been nominated for an award.
Question 7: Who is/are your favourite authors of all time?
I’ve always loved C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. The Hobbit and the Narnia series have always been (one) of my favorites. They really take the reader on an adventure and that’s what I appreciate.
Question 8: Writing a book is a significant achievement. Do you have any tips for people who may want to write a book?
My advice is go for it! Stop putting it off and just start writing. You can’t finish anything unless you start it.

Yes I am! I just finished the first draft for my next book which is the sequel to “Barrenworld: Curse of the Warlord’s Chalice”.
