Is There a Message in Your Novel That You Want Readers to Grasp?
Hi, there are several messages in my book but there are two primary
messages that are more important than others to me.
First, there is a special relationship between a father and his
daughter. I believe that this initial relationship is the launching pad for all
of her future relationships. Second message is that spending time with family
is extremely important and that family time should be happy, fun and effortless
without tension or stress.
Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?
The only challenges that I face would be an occasional writers block and
interference in my writing time.
How many books have you written and which is your favorite?
I have written several books but Polly’s Special Day is the first one to
be published.
If You had the chance to cast your main character from Hollywood today, who would you pick and why?
Polly, would play herself!
She is already the cutest cartoon character illustrated from the likeness of my
granddaughter.
When did you begin writing?
My earliest memory of writing seriously was in the third grade. I
entered a city- wide Fire Prevention essay contest. I won the contest and the
prize was a gold watch.
How long did it take to complete your first book?
The original book was written in a week. I decided to take a second look
at it seriously for submission during the pandemic and this process took about
1 year.
Did you have an author who inspired you to become a writer?
No, I did not have any particular artist that inspired me. I am inspired
by all writers! Writing is not an easy task, especially when you write with
others in mind.
What is your favorite part of the writing process?
My favorited writing process is the initial download known as the
drafting stage. At this stage you just write whatever come to your mind about
your subject. Sometimes you end up with multiple projects.

Family, Fun, Time, Bonding
Can you share a little bit about your current work or what is in the
future for your writing?
I currently have a coloring book in production, it is a companion
to Polly’s Special Day. My future writing is bright and promising!
