Question:  How long have you been writing?

   Since, 2013', I wrote until the manuscript of "Cultivating the DNA of Crime" was published in 2014'. So, I’ve been writing professionally as an author roughly 3 years.


Question:  What was the name of the first book you ever published, and when was it published?

   "Cultivating the DNA of Crime" was the first book title, and was published on May 13, 2014.


Question:  Was this book published by a publisher; or did you self-publish?

   I started K1LLER, Inc. in 2013', it’s a small publishing house, but, that’s the publisher’s name. The imprint is K1LLER.


Question:  Tell our readers about this very first book.  (For example:  What was the inspiration for writing it, and what was it about)?

   Killer is a boy who lives with his parents in a two-story house in Sylmar, California. And when he's not playing video games or watching TV, this thirteen-year-old child prodigy can be found working with a high-profile criminal organization. Killer is an asset desired by criminal enterprises worldwide-he's young, intelligent, charismatic, and most importantly, he's a killer. In this humorous and contemporary novel, Killer provides the reader a first-person point of view of the environmental factors that influence criminal behavior.


Question:  Can a person still buy this book?  If so, where?

   Absolutely! The book is available worldwide through Ingram Content Group, and Baker and Taylor distribution. The books are also available online through www.amazon.com and www.BN.com.

Question:  List all of your titles =


Question:  Any future writing projects in the works?  If so, tell us about it, and any pertinent dates to go with it.

   I’m working on "Virula: Renaissance Outlaw" Part 2.
The book will be published and available worldwide this year.


Question:  What is the title of your current book, and tell us a little about it.

"Virula: Renaissance Outlaw": Virula knows how hard life can be—but he thinks he also knows how to make the most of it. As a high school dropout, he joins a gang who exploits his cool-headed courage, and keeps him captive by catering to his appetites for drugs and women. Virula takes place during one memorable Father’s Day in Los Angeles, when a dose of hallucinogens creates a surreal 24 hours…but Virula’s actual life is already so strange that it’s almost just another day. Realistic and enlightening, yet also surprisingly funny with a keen sense of the ridiculous, Virula is an offbeat love story, an eye-opening look at gang life, a hard-hitting examination of a young man who has taken the wrong path, and above all, an entertaining and compelling story. This first book in the Virula series will leave you looking forward to the sequel!

To Order:  "Take Me With You"







Location: S. Carolina / U.S.A.








Question:  How long have you been writing?

     I’ve been writing since my early days in grade school. I really started taking my literary works serious in undergrad. It was there I entertained the idea of writing a book.

Question:  What was the name of the first book you ever published, and when was it published?

     The title of my first book is "Take Me With You". This book was published in January of 2016. "Take Me With You" is the first installment in the "Take Me With You" series. I plan on releasing more than just books under the "Take me With You" umbrella.

Question:  Tell our readers about this very first book.  (For example:  What was the inspiration for writing it, and what was it about)?

     "Take Me With You" is more than just a book. "Take Me With You" drives the reader through 365 days of real life experiences, thoughts, and decisions. Although this book is not a road map, "Take Me With You" can serve as a tour guide. People from all walks of life can relate to the messages of "Take Me With You".

Question:  Can a person still buy this book?  If so, where?

    Absolutely, "Take Me With You" can be purchased on Amazon.com and Kindle.

To Order:  "Take Me With You"

Question:  Any future writing projects in the works?  If so, tell us about it, and any pertinent dates to go with it.

     Yes. There will be future projects, but the focus currently is "Take Me With You". We’ll be sure to keep you posted on all upcoming projects.

Last question, if someone comes across this article and reads it, what would you like to tell them about why you think they should try reading your book or books?

     Like the late great Zig Ziglar once said, “People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily.” "Take Me With You" offers daily motivation that will drive you to make changes. This is not a feel good go with the flow type of book. This book will cause a catalyst whether you like it or not. I believe everyone should have daily motivation and if that’s with "Take Me With You", I did my job.

BLOG WRITER'S NOTE TO AUTHOR:     I find your book quite interesting.  Especially since you stated that it offers daily motivations.  It's not that daily motivations are unusual, but your title to this book is.  I will definitely check out this book a little more on amazon.  Good Luck with your future writing projects, and thanks for the interview.
