Somebody once asked me if the three books I’ve written—The Haunted, Catching Dragonflies With You, and The Missing Woman: The Disappearance of Mary Ann Gonzalez—were inspired by my own experiences.
The truth is, there’s a little bit of me in every novelette. In The Haunted, I poured in the part of me that looks back on my college days and wishes I had done better, much like Leona. In Catching Dragonflies With You, I relived the feeling of falling in love for the very first time, just like Micah. And in The Missing Woman, I drew from my own strength and independence, traits I see in Jennica.
I had planned to write two more novelettes, but life has kept me busy. I don’t want to write simply for the sake of producing something. My books may not be popular yet, and I’m not in a rush to chase sales. I wrote them as a form of therapy during the lowest points of my life.
Instead of allowing bitterness to take over, I chose to channel my energy into creating something that might one day be my legacy.
