Tell us about yourself and what inspired you to start writing.
I write because I have to do it. It’s the first thing I think about in the morning, and the last thing I think about before sleep. I try to write a poem a day, and to be honest with myself and my readers.
Describe your writing process? Is there anything unique about it?
There is nothing unique about my writing, its very plain and boring. I try to use everyday language to make it as accessible as possible, for everyone who wants to interpret it.
Have you published any books or do you have a desire to do so?
I have written and self-published 4 poetry books. I could not be happier…
Do you have any favorite poets or authors?
Too many to name. In fact, I can find something great in anyone’s writing, basically you can learn something from everyone, if you’re open enough; and I am open…
Do you have a favorite book of poetry or poems?
Anything poetry… Or sci-fi… I’m a Futurist at heart, I like predicting trends and reaching for solutions to everyday problems…
What are you reading now?
Nothing.
What do you like to do when you’re not writing? Full-time job, pets, hobbies?
Play my violin, keyboards, and support my Artistic friends in their Artistic endeavours…
Are you working on a current project?
Yes, a few more…
