What motivated you to write this story?
I’m an avid fan of the Twilight Zone Series and Stephen King, which has inspired me to write numerous stories both Science-Fiction and Horror. Porcelain is one of my notebook stories that was created in high school in 1996, and Ghost in the Porcelain is the story before that one, introducing us to an ancient curse that lies at the heart of Porcelain.

After my heart surgery in 2012, my father gave me his digital camera, remembering that I used to love taking pictures, and from that point on, I’ve been doing a lot of photography, photography that I also use in videos on Youtube.
What influenced you to enter your story to get performed?
WildSound has always done a tremendous job in their deliveries of my writing, truly capturing its voice, and in doing so, opening a door for the world to discover the stories and poetry that I keep inside.
Any advice or tips you’d like to pass on to other writers?
It might sound corny, but I will say it anyway. Never give up on your dreams.
