I like to think I'm positive and optimistic about things generally, but what I write does tend towards the darker end of the spectrum.

Any writer takes inspiration from what they read and watch, and over their career works on forming their own voice. I think it was probably Stephen King who made me want to become a writer.

Do you have to feel something for it to be real or mean anything? Can you touch your dreams, taste your imagination.
