AUTHOR OF THE JUMBIE GOD’S REVENGE

Why did you become an author?

I had so many stories I wanted to tell. I couldn't help myself.

Escaping Exodus by Nicky Draden.

Have you ever been to the Bronx? If so, what's a favorite memory you have? If not, what do you know or think about the Bronx?

My first visit to the Bronx was when I was a kid from Trinidad on vacation in Brooklyn and we took the subway a loooooong way to the Bronx Zoo. It was so exciting!
