If you had a writing motto what would it be?

Just go with it honestly, some days you will find the urge to write. Embrace it and do it, because other days it will feel like running out a very steep hill. Patience is key.

Where do you draw your inspiration?

Everything really, I try to experience as many things as possible. Go out, have fun, go on that next adventure because you never know when that one idea will hit you.

What is one interesting fact about you?

I am an insurance broker by day, writer by night.

Have you learned anything from the self publishing process and would you do anything differently next time?

I learned that indie publishing can be extremely difficult, getting exposure is really hard. What I would do next time? Have a detailed plan as to what I will be doing and when I should do it. Nothing like a business plan.

What has been your most successful marketing strategy?

Eyes, you need as many eyes as possible. More eyes on your book will result in more sales.

What is the best kept secret you have found in regard to indie publishing?

If I told you, I would have to kill you, and I don't want to do that.
