Why do you write?
Silly ideas and strange scenarios pop into my head randomly, and one day, when I was twelve, I decided to start writing some of them down. Old habits are hard to break :)

Out of all your stories, which one is your favorite?
That's a tough one, because I put equal amounts of time and effort into them all. They're all my babies! But if I had to choose one...it would be Vampocalypse simply because I love writing Hector Vance's character.

How do you create characters?
First I think about their role in my story, then I began to build everything around that. Sometimes a character comes to me out of the blue though, begging for their story to be told.

Out of all your characters, which one are you most like?
Oh this is tough, because I often step out of my personality and comfort zones to write characters. I'm most like Kasey in 2-Faced I suppose.

What do you do when you have writer's block?
Step back and take a breather. I watch something on tv, go for a walk, anything to get away from the computer for a while. Then I come back and just write whatever comes to mind, it might be rubbish, but it gets the creative juices flowing all the same. You can always scrap it or fix it up later.

How do you plan out your stories?
Most of them have a solid basic plot, the rest is improvised. I just start writing and let the words take me where they will, but I always know what will happen in the end.
