How many books have you written? Many throughout my youth just for fun, but Dust is my first published. Congratulations! Which is your favorite? Definitely Dust. The first one is always special to us.

Where are you from? I was born in Kankakee, Illinois but in the late 70’s my parents moved our family to the Phoenix, Arizona (U.S.) area. Cool, I’ve been through Phoenix a time or two.

How many books have you written? Which is your favorite? In November of 2013, I began writing my debut book, RSVP From Heaven and the manuscript was completed in February. It will be available for everyone in…
