What inspired you to become an author?

I’ve always had a wild imagination. I spent as much of my youth daydreaming as I did playing. I didn’t get the writing bug until my middle school English teacher had the class keep a daily journal. We were to write about events in our life, but I struggled. It just didn’t interest me to write about cleaning my room or seeing my cousins over the weekend. So, she told me to use my imagination and write stories. I began to write about unicorns, werewolves, and other adventures; that’s the moment writing became as natural as breathing.

That class project turned me into a writer. I kept journals of my fiction ideas and started writing as a training tool for remembering various subjects. Whether studying history, math, or vocal training, I kept meticulous notes. Years later, several of my study journals became the skeletons of my first two books, Raise Your Voice and The Ultimate Breathing Workout.

That was the birth of my professional writing career, which now includes dozens of instructional manuals, multiple fiction series, and published articles for companies like Sweetwater.com.

What are your books about?

I have two sides to my writing persona. On one side is the non-fiction writer. I’ve written many instructional books for vocal training, creativity, writing, and mindset. I’m naturally imaginative, and I love to inspire creativity in others, whether it’s offering guidance to an inspiring author, helping uplift a person’s mindset, or sharing vocal tips for building a better voice. I’ve overcome countless hurdles to improve myself in these ways. 

When people have asked how I “got so lucky” to appear on countless television shows, publish dozens of books, and work with singers I admired in my youth, I quickly affirm that it’s not luck! Instead, it’s my goal-driven, creative drive that anybody can accomplish the same… and I’ve written many instructional guides explaining exactly how anyone can achieve their goals!

On the other side of that coin exists my imaginary world. I’ve written many fiction titles across many genres, including Flight 666, Kill Factor, The Crisis Artifact, Age of the Sigil, Order of 5ive, The Crisis Artifact, Siren, Feral, Phoenix Earth, and many others. 

Initially, I was taught that to become a successful fiction author, a person needs to channel all of their creative focus into one genre. Fortunately, I ignored this advice. You can write in many genres…Your own beliefs only limit you. And as I build worlds in fiction, whether on another planet or thousands of years ago in a time when dragons led the world, I will not be limited to one fiction genre. Instead, I write where my imagination takes me. As long as my that continues to ignite, I’ll continue making new worlds.

What are you working on now?

Currently, I am working on producing an author named Ian Lang. Ian was a childhood friend who was into pendulums, pyramids, astral projection, and ESP as far back as I can remember. He has continued this path and written several booklets covering each subject. In addition, I helped him release a few books on his own through Kindle several years ago. Now the Vendera Publishing team, which includes myself, is working on revamping his book series and adding him as one of our authors later this year.

Considering my heavy vocal coach workload, I’d taken a few years off writing fiction. But, in late 2022, I started having writing withdrawals. So, I decided it was time to complete the 14 titles from some of my original fiction series. I’ve since written and released two books this year: Shifters: Slipstream (duology) and Order of 5ive: The Complete Third Season (trilogy). Both of these story arcs tie together as an unofficial pentalogy.

Which book shall I finish next? I’ll let my imagination lead me to my next adventure, whether pursuing the life of teenage aliens or mermaids, riding dragons, or running the head of a crime organization. You could cast your vote by checking out 711 Press, downloading a book on Kindle, and giving it a review to help choose which unfinished adventure you’d love to see me complete.
