1. Tell me about your book. How did you come up with the characters?
I will normally just start with a basic idea, then as I begin to writing, the characters in the story guide my writing. I follow their path, as they speak to me. I compare the characters in my book to raising my three children alone, as I am doing. They are all different and will do as they wish, so I try to just lay a strong foundation.
2. How did you get interested in writing this particular genre (historical novels, mysteries, sci-fi, children's books, etc.)?
I like fiction, it does not limit my imagenation, plus I like adventure stories.

- What is The Last Ruble - A Story is Born - about? I get ask a lot “What is your book about?” This is a tough question to answer without giving the book away, but a book, to me is a journey. I try to touch on all of one’s emotions i.e. Love, hate, death, romance, mystery, adventure and of course one must have a humor or I think you would go crazy in life. I think my book, The Last Ruble, also focuses on loyalty, not only to loved ones, but to one’s self. Loyalty to me is one of the major foundations in life.
There are two main characters in my book, Jack Rivers who lives in the current times and Vladimir, a Russia soldier, who lives in a past years. Together they travel many of the same paths in life, while searching for peace. Their travels around the world and over the years bring them across the paths of many different people from different cultures and both seek to understand the meaning of peace within, although the cards they are handed to play are not always a winning hand.
Not only will many of your emotions be touched in my book, but you will end up pulling for my main characters, as you live with them, as they come upon the cross roads in life they encounter.
