Tell us about someone or something that just made your day –
My best friend, when he takes me out for dinner at a restaurant of my choice for my birthday. When Actor, Mr. Tom Atkins had them call me overhead at the Scarefest to come and p/u my camera as left it near his booth and the fact that he knew my name and put it in a safe place until I could go back to retrieve it.

How many hours per day do you try to devote to research and writing? In the beginning, I just wrote down my thoughts on paper as they came to me. If I am writing

Where and when do you prefer to do your writing? I prefer to do my writing at night and when I go to the parks during daytime hours.
Your thoughts on receiving book reviews – the good and the bad – Book reviews can be tricky sometimes but I tend to think that everyone has an opinion and when you are putting yourself out there you may get either good reviews or bad reviews. I always hope to receive good reviews. Sometimes, I wonder if one gets a bad review is it because that person is jealous because they did not come up with the idea first or just being sarcastic. You go into this realizing that maybe not everyone is going to like your work. As an author, we all hope to receive good reviews for our books.
Do you have a bucket list? Yes, I want to go camping, fly a helicopter, travel, and go see Jerusalem – where Jesus lived. Also, take care of baby animals.
One of your favorite quotes – One of my favorite quotes is from Star Wars where Yoda tells Luke SkyWalker – “Do or Do Not, There is No Try.”
List 3 of your favorite movies? The Muppet Movie – rainbow connection. Superman. Bridge to Terabithia
What is a movie or TV show that you watched just recently and really enjoyed? There have been several such as Terror in The Woods, Riverdale, Supergirl, and I enjoyed the movie “Wonder Woman”
