When and why did you decide to become a writer?
My parents gave me a portable typewriter for Christmas when I was 12.  I started a novel then but never finished.  I wrote short stories and poems throughout my teens.  Life took over and it wasn’t until about four years ago a good friend and author convinced me to start writing again.  I began working on my first novel, When the Morning Comes, in 2013, but I kept changing it and putting it away until early 2016.  I focused and I finally finished and published When the Morning Comes (Book One in the Land’s End Series) in late April of 2016.

I just recently joined the Mystery Thriller Week group.  Everyone that I’ve had contact with has been super supportive.
