Q: You’ve written two and a half books and I want to know where you’ve been all our lives. What work has claimed you outside of your relatively recent writing career, how long did it take to land your first novel, and how committed are you to the writing path these days?

A: I was hiding away in the family business. Anyone who has worked with family knows, you can quit a job but you can’t quit your family. It’s very The Godfather so once you’re in, you’re in for life. I love my family, but office work, nope.
