What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Replenishment?
I love Sci-Fi, but most of the stories weere about aliens who came to take over our planet. I wanted to write something different, something showing what it takes to survive in a world way more advanced than ours. Survival doesn’t always have to come at the cost of our world. It can be certain pieces put into play, to guarantee that a species lives on. Just like we have adapted in our world to survive, so have other species.
If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Replenishment, what would they be?
The Pacific- Honor Soundtrack.
What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
Surprisingly, I’m not a big reader. I guess I don’t read much because I don’t want to pick up other writers’ traits or writing styles. My favorite genre to write is Fantasy because of the magic and dragons aspects. Just being able to create creatures, worlds, and the unexpected is a feeling like no other.
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
I would like to read the “Game of Thrones” series. Haven’t gotten to it yet though, because I’m always busy working on new projects.
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
My favorite scene was when Jimmys friends were looking for him and they ran across one of the alien creatures who was deformed from coming in contact with our world’s cold. They saw something that was unexplainable, but were forced to deal with it head on only to find out that they were in a situation that they were not equipped or ready for.
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
No matter what I’m writing, I like listening to R&B.
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
“Your greatest achievement, is your greatest dream.”
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
There is always something that is on greater level than your comprehension, so don’t be so quick to judge what you may not understand. Life is only life as long as you can live it.
