Creating art is like therapy for me. I log out of real life and log into the world I create.

Oh, fun. Well, I have wanted to be an author since I was very little and I wrote my first manuscript when I was in third grade. Writing epic high/dark fantasy is my most favorite type of art to create. While I did design all my covers and the illustrations in the books, that is the extent of what I can do as far as drawing. My drawing style if befitting of Orcs so for the first time, I drew the cover of my next book. Can you guess what fantasy creatures it centers around?
Where do you find inspiration?In so many things, dang, where do I start? My father, video games, movies, tv series ect, other books and my favorite authors, Stan Nicholls and Richard Knaak. Being able to regularly talk to them has played an enormous role in staying motivated.
What would you do with $25,000?Since I already have Prince of Tanimara in audio format, I would use the 25k to get Queen's Reprisal and Throne of Tanimara in audio format as well. I never planned to format in audio until a blind girl suggested it. She was the reason I did this for Prince of Tanimara. It would be about 25k to hire a voice actor to do the other two books.
