How long does it take you to write a book?

Depends if I am on a role with the book when I write. It can be for months.

Which Authors did you love and/or grow up reading?

Rick Riordan has a big impact and influence on my stories. Of the way he would tell the stories from the characters POV. Even though his is more on the mythological side of things. Even though my books are more based on more or less on historical events. I do get to do more mythical writing collaboration with Evelyn Everley.

What inspired you? Tv shows, cartoons, anime, or movies? For your books.

I love watching historical movies like The Titanic directed by James Cameron. He does beautiful work in his movies and the storytelling is amazing, along with the littlest details happening throughout the movie. The movie Dragon Blade with Jackie Chan and inspired Legion Legend book [The Heroes of the Generation]. I am also a fan of My Hero Academia by Kohei Horikoshi, with the aspect of heroes and villains in the world of society. Inspired by the book Heroes by A.C. Kingsley.

Dream collaboration of directors? Dead or Alive.

James Cameron is the person, I would love to work with. He does beautiful work and his movies and the storytelling is amazing along with the littlest details. Like in the titanic how he has so many things going on with background characters with the events happening are incredible. No one would think twice unless you re-watch it and people break down all the details and he does lots of history fact checks and records to make sure the movie aligned with the true stories and events.

Why did you add LGBTQ+ characters and/or elements of it?

If you look through out history there has been many cases of same sex love or interactions with one another.

Thoughts on LGBTQ+ Romance?

There will be less lonely people in the world.

Even though some cultures and religions don’t except it fully or supportive of it. What are your thoughts on that?

There are some cases people don’t understand it. Even though there is no practice about it. As there is more of a discussion talking about it nowadays then there ever was in history.
