FAQ'S

1) What inspired you to become a writer?

The feeling writing gives me. Writing truly makes me happy. I'm not doing it for the so-called glamorous reasons a lot of others do it for. I like those benefits, too, don't get me wrong. But I write because it's the only thing I felt I was put on earth to do.

2) What do you hope to accomplish in your career?

I hope to gain fans that will love me long enough so that I can truly show them my appreciation by touching their lives with stories and books to last a lifetime.

3) What are your favorite hobbies besides writing?

I am a landscape photographer and model. I haven't modeled since 2000. I entered a modeling contest in 2003. I lost but I didn't care because I turned around and got the best publishing contract in the world. I am scheduled to do some more photos in September. I have a lot on my plate so I have to manage my time wisely.

4) What can you say to aspiring writers?

Stay true to your style, be patient and know that in this business there are no guarantees. But you should always believe in yourself and if you want it, don't give up.

5) What are you working on now?

Two biographies and a novel. The biography is on Jessica Simpson. The novel is a modern-day Mafia saga that I describe as, " The ' Godfather ' of the new millennium ".

6) What other works will you be releasing soon?

A Latino love story that's a modern-day " Romeo and Juliet '. I'm very excited about the expectations of it.

7) What do you hope to be doing in ten years?

I hope I'm living a fun, stress free life to the fullest. By then I also hope to have my own magazine.

8) What's something you've always wanted to do but was afraid to try?

Singing. I can sing and I've always wanted to have my own rock band. If I get over singing in public, I may go after that dream. Hopefully when I am older I will be a little more comfortable with myself to do those things. I also want to start my own nightclub.

9) What's something you would do if you had the chance?

Probably acting. I'm a comedian at heart so I think I'd do great at my own sitcom. Now a days it would be easy. Once you establish a following in one venue, you can transfer that to do other things. I'm not saying I wouldn't be scared (laughing). But I guess I would try out doing a scene or too for a movie or something. Writers have been appearing on television more and more. Some have recently done cameos on soaps and such. Maybe I'd do that too if asked.
