Author Take-Over -- Marlon Hayes

Today, my friend, Marlon Hayes, takes over my blog with an interview about his story in the A Journey of Words anthology, Daddy's Boy. This tale of missed opportunity is both heart warming and heart breaking.

Author Name: Marlon S. Hayes

Title of my AJOW story: Daddy's Boy 

Synopsis: A man takes a long dreamt of road trip with his father, in an attempt to heal long held grudges and wounds.

What inspired me to write this story? After I wrote it, I realized the story sprang from all of the questions I would have liked to ask my own father, a deceased heroin addict, who was also a brilliant, talented artist.

How long have I been writing? I've been writing since I was 11, but I didn't take it seriously until 2013, when I published my first book.

What genre do I usually write in and why? I don't have a genre, other than plain fiction. I constantly challenge myself to write about different subjects, in order to become a better writer.

What else am I working on/writing at the moment? Finding a publisher for a novel, publishing a coffee table book of poems, editing a short story anthology, and my main WIP is tentatively titled "My Calling," the tale of life through a serial killer's eyes. 
My advice to new writers? Just write. Follow the processes of reading, writing, rewriting, and learning. Repetition makes a writer better.

How can people discover more about me and my work?
