Let them get to know the personal you.
I was born in Cleveland Ohio and still live in Cleveland Ohio. I
started writing when I was 15. It truly started out because I had an idea that
would not go away. My overactive imagination helped me get through many painful
and lonely times.
What inspired you to author this book?
I always go where my imagination takes me. When I start a book
all I know is the first scene and the first characters. I stay true to the
characters. To me, the characters matter the most. My hope is to inspire and
help in some way with my writing.

Where did you get the inspiration for
your book’s cover?
The cover was one of the choices at Outskirts Press.
Who has been the most significant
influence on you personally and as a writer?
As a writer, I can only credit the Lord. It is the Lord that
gave me the overflowing imagination. Personally it has been Jesus and Michael
Jackson that have had the biggest influences on me. My Uncle Norm supported my
writing before I ever published a single book.
What were your struggles or obstacles you
had to overcome to get this book written?
I have had juvenile rheumatoid arthritis since I was
4-years-old. I don't remember anything before that. I have more health issues
now. I use a wheelchair and walk with crutches. My health limits me in many
ways but I try not to dwell on that.

Five brothers (Kye, Jye, Gabriel, John James, and Ty) were sold
when they were less than a year old. When they were 5-years-old, they started
working as servants. When they were 8, they were rescued by a detective
(Michael). Michael adopted the brothers. He loved them deeply and was very
protective. All the brothers struggled to get used to their new lives. Ty
struggled the most. Years later, the brothers are found by their biological
family. They have Michael and their original family.
Who is your target audience, and why?
I don't really have a target audience. I go where the ideas
lead.

What do you consider your greatest
success in life?
I consider every published book a success. It is always a thrill
when I publish my writing.
What one unique thing sets you apart from
other writers in your genre?
I don't know. Each writer is different in some way. I try to let
the Lord lead my ideas and I always go with the flow as the ideas come. I feel
like the characters lead me through the story.
