How many unpublished and half-finished books do you have?
I am working on second book called “Quest”
Do you try more to be original or to deliver to readers what they want?
Be original. I want to write about things I have experienced and sometimes they’re not always pleasant but they are meant to help others who have had similar experiences to mine.
Do you read your book reviews? Do they please you or annoy you? Do you think you can learn a lot from reading criticism about your work?
I read my book reviews and they excite me when I see that my book has helped even one person get help.
Tell us some more about your book.
Each chapter is titled with a new song, so there’s a playlist for the book.
Are any of your characters based on real people you know?
Yes, they all are.
What do you hope readers will take away from this story?
I hope this/my story can help anyone who has ever struggled with addiction. To know that redemption can be found through recovery and all you have to do is take that first step. It’ll be a long road, but it’s worth it.
How did you decide on this title?
My addiction to alcohol was a thirst that seemed unquenchable, but I beat the “Thirst”.
