  1. Words have power. When did you realize you could use the power of words in your own book to tell people your opinion, feelings, ideas or fantasy?

I always had a leaning towards books that were dark and realistic in their messaging, for example, at ten I read The Stand by Stephen King, about a pandemic that runs rampant and leaves only a handful of surviving humans of varying natures, demographics, and backgrounds.

    1. Hi Annika, thank you for your lovely comment. I don’t seem myself as anything other than ordinary so I am very flattered.

  2. Excellent interview, Robbie. I especially like when you say that you hope people will continue to learn from the past. Sometimes people say to me why do you keep remembering your past, but I truly think there are many lessons to learn from it. Your words, therefore, hit home with me. Wishing you continued success with your writing!
