What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Children of the Stars?
Simply put: Fitting in. That’s what it’s all about when you’re young. I grew up separated from ‘normal’ kids by going to a uniform wearing private school. It doesn’t seem like that big a deal now, but when you’re young, anything that sets you apart from others is incredibly traumatic. I always felt like the outsider and it had an impact on my sense of self, so I guess I went with that, taking it to another level with Dayton. There is a lot of me in Dayton.
If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Children of the Stars, what would they be?
"In This Diary" by the Ataris rings in my head. The line ‘Being grown up isn’t half as fun as growing up. These are the best days of our lives’ because it kind of brings Dayton’s reverse experiences to light. He’s a grown up who’s becoming a teenager and finding the fun in it all. I’m also partial to Rush’s "Subdivisions", an old song to be sure, but it centers on fitting in, just like my novel. "Sprawling on the fringes of the city in geometric order an insulated border in-between the bright lights and the far unlit unknown", Dayton is literally coming in from the great unknown. Space is vast, dark and scary, as it truly is to most people on Earth. And it’s Dayton’s home. There’s also "Subdivisions in the high school halls, in the shopping malls, conform or be cast out" just as in the story, Dayton conforms and eventually gets some form of acceptance. Zara refuses, and is cast out.
What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
Science Fiction (not sci fi) is always my go to. I do also like social and political humor, as I incorporate both in heavy doses into my writing. Because in the end, I believe science fiction changes the technology and social contracts, but human nature, desires and insecurities stay very much the same.
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
Lolth’s Warrior, Caliban’s War, Will Destroy the Galaxy for Cash, Stormbreaker, Woken Furies, Red Seas Under Red Skies, The City of Lost Fortunes, and that’s just what’s piled on my nightstand. I think I have a problem!
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
Oh, wow, a good question, and one that’s not too easy to answer. I enjoyed writing so much of this book. If I had a fav, it would be when world’s collide, literally Dayton falls from orbit, crashes into a shopping mall, there’s chaos everywhere, and his mind keeps drifting back to Allyson. It kind of reminds me of those rare moments where you just see someone and think ‘that’s the one.’ I think we’ve all been there when we see someone who just intrigues us no matter what we’re going through. We might not admit it to our friends, but it happens.
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
I get out, I write more. For that, I like coffee houses (not Starbucks!). I think the most productivity I’ve ever had was at a stone bench in the central park in Galway, Ireland. Galway is known as the city of writers, and I picked up on that. The atmosphere does a lot for my creative juices. Long flights are great too.
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
When you’re hot you’re hot, write. When you’re not, don’t write. Forcing yourself to write can only lead to frustration and doubt. Not good.
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
Life is full of ups and downs, changes and twists. Keeping your wits and attitude right can be hard under any of those circumstances.

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Worlds of Origin?
The story behind this book is deeply personal. It’s my first novel, and I’ve been working on it for what feels like forever. The idea began as a small seed—a fascination with the rise and fall of civilizations and the mysteries of the cosmos. Over time, that seed grew into an epic tale spanning 900,000 years, blending elements of science fiction and fantasy. I was inspired by classic space operas, but I also wanted to explore deeper themes like the nature of power, the consequences of prophecy, and the fine line between science and magic. It’s been a long journey, filled with countless revisions and late nights.
If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of The Worlds of Origin, what would they be?
I might be in an Imagine Dragons period right now, but I’d pick “Radioactive” for Mira because it really captures her journey of unearthing dangerous secrets and facing powerful forces that change her understanding of the world.
For Mer, I’d go with “Demons.” It reflects her internal conflict and the struggle between her identity and the darker forces at play in her life.
What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
Definitely yes—science fiction is my favorite genre to read, and it’s also my favorite to write. There’s something about exploring the vast possibilities of the future, other worlds, and the unknown that captivates me. Fantasy comes in a close second; I love the way it allows for boundless imagination and the creation of entirely new realms and mythologies.
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
My TBR pile includes The Death Gate Cycle by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, which I’ve been eager to dive into. I’m also planning to revisit The World of Null-A series by A.E. van Vogt—it’s one of those classics that I find reveals new layers every time I read it.
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
My favorite scene to write was definitely the last chapter. It’s where everything comes together—the big revelations, the tying up of loose ends, and the final pieces of the puzzle falling into place. After spending so much time building the story and developing the characters, it was incredibly satisfying to bring it all to a conclusion that feels both surprising and inevitable. It’s the moment where all the threads connect, and the true scope of the story is revealed.
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
Not yet—this was my first novel, so I’m still working on developing my quirky writer habits! Since writing isn’t my full-time gig, I haven’t had the chance to cultivate any lucky mugs or acquire a writing cat.
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
I have several, but if I had to pick one off the top of my head, it would be: "Certainty is the privilege of uneducated minds" by Cassius Jackson Keyser. It reminds me to stay curious and open-minded, always questioning what I think I know.
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
It would be the idea that even in a vast, mysterious galaxy, the choices of individuals can shape the fate of everything. The interconnectedness of every character's journey and the idea that history is shaped by both grand events and small, personal decisions - that is something I hope lingers with readers.

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Megacosmic Rift (Torth Book 4)?
The Torth series is my 6 book magnum opus about freedom, group think, mob justice, interpersonal power dynamics, and individualism. I wanted to deeply explore these issues through the exaggerated lens of a hive mind galactic empire and those who rebel against it. Any kid who felt like an outcast supergenius can probably relate to Thomas!
If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Megacosmic Rift (Torth Book 4), what would they be?
For Thomas? "Run Boy Run" by Woodkid.
For Ariock? "When Worlds Collide" by Powerman 5000.
What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
Progression Fantasy and Sci-Fi epics. I love reading them and writing them.
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
We by Yevgeny Zamyatin, All the Skills 4 by Honour Rae, The Crypt by Scott Sigler.
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
In Megacosmic Rift (Torth Book 4), there's a major linchpin moment where one of the main characters switches sides. I anticipated that scene for years.
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
There's a birdbath and birdfeeders outside my window, so I have something to look at when I glance up!
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
Hope becomes cope, but never surrender.
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
Freedom of thought is vital for a healthy civilization.
