Tell us a bit about yourself

I’m a self published author from Utah. I published my first book Sincerely, Ira before I graduated high school, and I’ve republished it on ebook to correct teenage me’s mistakes. The sequel is still in the works just needs a little touching up.
I love to swim, write, and camp. I live with my family and together we have 6 horses, 3 dogs, and 2 cats. We’re thinking about adding some goats and alpacas to the mix, but I really just want to add a bearded dragon.

Have you always wanted to become an author?

No, I always wanted to become a vet or a cosmetician. Then I looked at the schooling for becoming a vet and decided not to go that route, and there was just no passion in cosmetology for me. But I loved to write and there was passion in that.

What was your inspiration for your current book/series?

I actually had a dream about it while going on college tours, and it only took off from there.

What are you working on now?

My sequel to Sincerely, Ira and a couple of other books that are still in the works but not ready to be talked about just yet. I don’t want to jinx the flow.

Do you have any quirks while writing?

I have to watch something in the background while I write. Or listen to very loud music to tune the world out. I need to be able to submerse myself into the world I’m creating or it doesn’t flow as freely.

What are your hopes for the future?

That my books will be read by someone who’s not friend or family. It’s a near future hope.

Do you have any advice for new authors about the publishing world?

If you can, find yourself a mentor. Someone who’s published a book or is knowledgeable about the whole process and is willing to help you out. Some of us have made a group that might be able to help out here’s the link

Do you have anything to say to your readers?
