1. How do you work through self-doubts and fear?
If
I start feeling too down, I step away from whatever’s bothering me and
do two things. 1) I listen to Elvis; particularly the song, “Blue
Hawaii.” 2) I drink a coke. Elvis and Coke are my leveling factors. If
I’m able to, I’ll also throw in some intense cardio at the gym. This
always seems to help me put my self-doubts and fears into perspective.
2. What scares you the most?
Call
me crazy, but I can’t handle being suspended from heights in a bucket.
So Ferris Wheels, cherry pickers, and gondolas are pretty much out for
me. And it’s not the heights. I have no fear of heights. It’s the fact
that I’m suspended from a bucket. Not really sure how to explain that
one.
3. What makes you happiest?
Laughing.
If I can find something to laugh about, life isn’t so bad. The good
moments are made even better, and the bad ones are brightened.
4. What’s your greatest character strength?
I
am fiercely loyal. Once I’ve decided that you’re “mine” I will think of
you that way forever. This could also be considered a flaw I suppose,
it’s burnt me before, but really I think you shouldn’t live life holding
back. If you’re too afraid to love people then you’ll never experience
the reward that comes from doing so.
5. What’s your weakest character trait?
I
have a tendency to be a firework. I go crazy, becoming completely
obsessed/motivated to get things done . . . for about three days. After
that, I fizzle out and loose all interest. Luckily, I have a husband who
helps me stay motivated, and with a lot of work, I’m starting to put
this weakness behind me slowly.
6. Why do you write?
I
write because it makes me happy. I love the adventure of discovering a
story that hasn’t been told before, and losing myself completely in it.
As an added bonus, the characters become my closest friends. I’m
happiest when I’m writing, and so I always try to be working or thinking
about some aspect of it.
7. Have you always enjoyed writing?
Believe
it or not, no. Writing was something I did because I had to for school,
work, or whatever else you want to throw in there. However, I have
always loved telling stories. Eventually that passion led to actually
writing them down. Now I’m hooked.
YOU CANNOT CHANGE THE LIFE YOU’VE BEEN GIVEN.
All
that you can do is make the most of what you’ve been dealt—fight a good
fight, resist being beaten by circumstance, and hope that somehow,
despite it all, you’re able to accomplish the impossible.
But even then you cannot change the fact that you were born cursed.
I am one of those unlucky few upon whom the Curse of the Four Fathers has fallen.
It
is I who must bear the burden of having a life that is unchangeably
intertwined with the Fae. A sorrow made all the more great by knowing
that where they are tragedy, loss, misery, and despair most assuredly
follow.
As
a Druid it is my responsibility to uphold the boundaries that keep the
worlds of the Tylwyth Teg, and our own, separate. As a man it is my only
ambition to protect the family and woman I so desperately love.
The only problem: I'm not sure this curse will allow for me to do both.
