Favorite
reads?
For
fantasy, I love Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan, anything by Brandon
Sanderson, and Ranger's Apprentice is another favorite. In post
apocalyptic genre I really liked Hunger Games and Divergent.
Inspirations
for the book?
For
The Exile I had a daydream of one sequence in the book, (The archery
tournament) and then I fleshed out the characters, and built an
adventure story around the archer, Kaz. A lot of the bigger picture
stuff came later, after some feedback on early copies.
Did
you know you wanted to be an author when you were little?
Not
at all! I almost failed English class in high school. My editors will
tell you I still, don't, know, how to, use commas. But I love telling
stories, and that is where I started with being an author.
Any
Pet Peeves?
I'm
really upset about the Skittles Rainbow changing lime into sour
apple.
Chocolate
or Peanut Butter?
Chocolate,
no contest. Although I do like them mixed together as long as the
chocolate is the dominant flavor.
The
weirdest thing you've ever done?
I
dressed up as an old man and convinced children to sit on my lap for
candy... (I'm not a perv or anything, I was Santa one year)
Is
there a soundtrack to the book/Favorite music?
No
soundtrack for the book. But I really like country music.
Unfortunately my daughter won't let me play it in the house without
complaint.
Do
you need anything to write?
I
need quiet to write. I pretty much do my writing in my basement
office after the kids are in bed.
How
long do you write on any average day?
I
like to write about a thousand words per day if I can. Lately it's
been quite a bit less, but that's because my kids are getting older
and staying up later. I gladly give up writing time for family time.
Give
us the number one reason to read your book.
Because
it's amazing! It's a fun adventure from the very beginning all the
way through.

In
a world where each person is born with a magic ability, the island of
Denall is on the verge of an attack from a power hungry sorcerer,
Mordyar, as he scours the world in search of the Stones of Power.
While the stones are gathering, and their power begins to be
revealed, four boys leave their village on a rite of passage into
adulthood and are swept into an adventure that will make men and
heroes of them, if they can survive.
