If you could have dinner with anyone, who would it be and why?
I’d love to sit at a long banquet table with all my female ancestors and learn about their lives. But if I had to choose just one, I would pick my great-grandma (I miss her). If I need to choose one living person, I’d pick The Rock. He looks so kind and family-oriented, plus the cheat day meals he posts are incredible!
What are you currently working on?
I recently published my first book, Kindred, I’m preparing for the next issue of Mythos literary magazine, and I’m currently trying to master my dad’s pilaf recipe.
What does your inner writing voice tell you?
