I do think a lot about the past.

I personally love books that make me think, so I naturally gravitate toward writing a book like that, one that's going to make someone think and make me think.

History is absolutely my thing.

I am very into genealogy and heritage, and that's how I started writing.

I'll tell you what I was most surprised to discover about my writing process, and that is that I never know what I'm doing.

I would not give up a lot of what I know about my heritage. I would not give up knowing where I came from, the good parts and the bad parts.

I tend to be a very logical, practical person.
