What are your best childhood memories with your parents?

Sitting down at the dinner table every night as a family.

What would your life be like if you had followed your childhood dreams?

I would be walking on Mars.

Was geography your favorite subject in school?

No, but it went hand-in-hand with my favorite subject which was and remains history.

What was your reason for joining the military?

A mix of things. I would say in no particular order, family tradition, college money, and wanting to serve my country.

How did your military experience help you in developing your first novel?

It gave me real-life experience to glean from; be it in deployments or with my character development. Most of the freedom fighters in my book are based on men and women I served with in the U.S. Army.

Describe an early experience when you realised that words had power.

It would have to be studying about the American Revolutionary War in middle school. The printing press played a huge role in galvanizing those early colonists into fighting for their own nation.

How did military basic training change your personality?

My attention to detail increased exponentially!

What are your tips on writing a believable female character in a story?

Model the character(s) after someone you personally know.

What was your reaction when your debut novel, The Demagogue Wars won the 2022 Sci-Fi Novel of the Year Award?

Disbelief. Shock. Excitement! It was really great!

What is one dream you have had since childhood that you have achieved?

In 2003, I received my Bachelor's Degree from the University of South Carolina.

What books, documentaries or movies should one consume to deepen their knowledge on war?

Blackhawk Down, Generation Kill, American Sniper, and The Lone Survivor were all great stories that turned into fantastic movies.

How many plot ideas are just waiting to be written? Can you tell us about one?

I currently have a WIP notebook with about 40 different stories ready to go. The set of ideas I am most excited about is a series of short stories I am working on involving characters from The Demagogue Wars. Each story will be a prequel tale and provide readers of TDW with a sneak peek at how some of their favorite characters went from students, waiters, and "Average Jills & Joes to becoming WWIII freedom fighters!

Have you enjoyed the AllAuthor experience so far? What are your thoughts on this website and do you have any suggestions on how it could improve?

I am very pleased with the automated marketing features on AllAuthor. Perhaps I would be a little more pleased had I won the December Book Cover of the Month. Maybe next time!

  - No. Not even remotely. It wasn't until taking a graduate-level Political & Military Geography class in my Senior year at the University of South Carolina that I realized I could become an author if I so desired. While I am no one to have regrets, I do wish I had watched less sports and started writing sooner.

  - Absolutely! One of my favorite characters in The Demagogue Wars is an older soldier named Malachi. In the novel, the reader finds out (as Malachi lives it) that the Supply Sergeant and combat veteran has Young-Onset Parkinson's disease (YOPD). His disability does not stop him from defending his home or serving in an integral role for his Idaho band of freedom fighters. Like Malachi, I also have YOPD from two Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) and exposure to various battlefield toxins in the Army. I was forced to medically retire early from the USAF as a Guardsman with the SC Air National Guard.

  - Yes. I purposely wrote the character Captain Katherine "Kap" Brock into my story for my USAF Veteran stepdaughter. Tiffany, like Kap, grew up as a church-going Southerner, is politically conservative, a diehard Republican, U.S. military veteran, and an "open" lesbian. I have always sought to not only tell stories about diverse characters, but to also show that no one identity group is as homogenous as popular culture, the MSM, and even academia would have us to believe. I dare you to find a novel published in 2022 that has a more diverse group of characters than The Demagogue Wars!

  - Personally, I think the cover of your book is vastly more important than the title. However, if an author finds him/herself halfway through their manuscript only to realize that the working title no longer works, then do not hesitate to scrap the title. I am very pleased with the title I settled on for my debut novel because it matches my intent for telling this story: to warn of the folly in blindly following politicians/ leaders. All humans have the potential to go astray due to greed, hubris, and/or the corrupting nature of power.

  - If I were to dream BIG, then I would have to say being invited to appear on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Bill Maher's show or podcast, and/or "share the stage" with Graham Hancock, Randall Carlson, or perhaps Jahannah James via YouTube. Any of these would send me over the moon!

  - I became obsessed with genealogy nine years ago and the stories I found buried deep in my family tree were incredible, enthralling, and even traumatic. In 2019, I began writing a historical fiction novel about my family tree set in the 1800s with a focus on the American Civil War and the various minority groups within my family tree. The societal and political turbulence of the spring & summer of 2020 resulted in me pausing that WIP and writing The Demagogue Wars.
