How did you come up with the idea of the Diny Tots children's book?

After creating and co-creating children's characters and working on children's stories with kidStar I thought it'd be fun to create something new straight from scratch. As a little kid I always liked dinosaurs. I thought, what if dinosaurs were kids? And the idea took off from there.

What kind of projects are you working on now?

Various kinds of artistic and non-artistic projects. I am currently in the process of launching a children's media company, kidStar. with two business partners of mine. I'm also working on a second Diny Tots book.

Why do you write scary stories?

Horror stories carry an element of true good vs true evil. I believe this is more prevalent in horror fiction than any other type of genre as long as there is no gratuitous blood and violence for its own sake.

I like fiction and though I believe that a sense of danger can be written into many genres of fiction, I think that the horror genre can present a deeper danger than other types. Horror stories can bring that feeling of being scared, not only for characters in a story, but also when you put the book down, that's why it isn't for everybody.

Are you writing or working on another book?

Yes. I am currently working on a supernatural mystery novel entitled The Disappearance of Sandra Breyer. I may put the first chapter on my site when it is completely edited.

Fiction: Stephen King, C.S. Lewis, John Bellairs, J Michael Straczynski, Grant Morrison, Neil Gaiman.

Non-fiction: Dr. Norman Geisler, C.S. Lewis, Ron Rhodes, Lee Strobal. (Writers of Christain Apologertics).
