Long before "What If They Lived?", I began writing movie reviews when I was 14 and that went all the way to a few years ago when I decided that I didn't want to feel like I was constantly on a hamster wheel, which is what movie reviewing can feel like at times, especially when you aren't enjoying it anymore. But when I did, I wrote for the South Florida Sun-Sentinel's Teentime pages, which were found in the back of the weekend Showtime section (That lasted from the end of middle school until after I graduated high school), then for Film Threat, Screen It!, and a two-year stint at The Signal, the exclusive newspaper of the Santa Clarita Valley, north of Los Angeles, in which I wrote movie reviews and was interim editor of their weekend Escape section for five weeks. Way too stressful, mostly gnawing worry about getting your copy in on time, but it was a lot of fun to choose what I wanted to put in the newspaper.After writing "What If They Lived?", I discovered that the books I want to write next are all nonfiction, including three presidential history books. I have an idea for a novel that's still dusty because I haven't moved on that as fast as my nonfiction books. I'll probably move faster on the plays I want to write than that novel.I'm currently doing research for my next book, about the making of a movie series I was obsessed with in my teens.
