In No Talent for Surrender, an athlete is faced with his family’s secrets following a frightening collapse that changes the course of his life. Why was this an important book for you to write? 

I felt that writing my story might help others to embrace a belief in themselves that could catapult them through life’s adversities.

No Talent for Surrender is semi-autobiographical. Were there any aspects of Johnny Promise’s experience that were difficult for you to write? 

Describing the illness that I endured was emotionally difficult to articulate some days.

There was a lot of time spent crafting the character traits in this novel. What was the most important factor for you to get right in your characters?

The most important factor in my character development was that the people in the book are just regular folks dealing with life like every reader would.

What is the next book you are working on, and when will it be available?

I haven’t started my next project but am considering a sequel.
