LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

Dominic is yet another talented writer who has graced my blog with answering the questions in my Meet the Writer series. His Marian devotion and dedication to praying the Rosary is inspiring and underlines the fact that a good prayer life is not separate from a good writing life. Learn about how you can be Never Alone as you…

1. Tell something interesting about yourself.

I like to compose and play music. (I always enjoy a good game of baseball, too! Let’s go Twins!)

2. What makes a good Catholic writer?

I believe there are multiple perspectives of being a good Catholic writer. Not only do you have to practice your skills as a writer and hone your craft, but it is also very good to incorporate Catholic themes into stories.

3. What do you like about being a Catholic/Christian Writer?

I like being able to write Catholic stories that not only keep readers flipping pages, but immersed in the story. But not only that, I want my stories to help people to grow closer to the Lord.

4. What is the Main focus of your particular Writing or what do you like to write about?

I enjoy writing fiction stories, and my main focus is to help people grow closer to God. I want to share my Faith with everyone through my words, and hopefully impact them with good stories.

5. How does your Catholic Faith influence your writing?

My Catholic faith is a huge part of my writing. My stories are Catholic themed, and I am so thankful to the Lord for blessing me throughout my journey so far.

6. What’s your favorite article/Post/book/story you have written?

One of my favorite things I have written is my book, “Never Alone.”

“Hey, stop!” A deep voice cut through the darkness but was lost in a clamor of wailing sirens.

Blue and red lights flashed across the street, revealing squad cars as officers rushed forward.

The Chief of Police, Bernard Johnson, ran ahead, his boots pounding the sidewalk. Then he stopped, casting a glance left and right, a scowl plastered to his face. He took a hesitant step forward, peering intensely into the chill night air, but not even the flashing lights revealed a thing. He gripped the cool handle of his revolver, shivering. Once he’d scanned the area once more, he heaved a frustrated sigh.

The criminal was gone.

7. What is your favorite topic/subject to write about?

I wrote my book around suffering, and how God never abandons us even in our hardest trials.

8. Favorite scripture verse.

Delight in the Lord and he will give thee the requests of thy heart.

Psalm 36:4

9. What Are you currently working on?

I currently have a couple projects, one of which is centered around the Rosary, following a young man at a crossroads. Should he accept a football scholarship or follow his religious vocation?

10. Name a favorite saint or Catholic or some other figure who inspires you in your life.

Saint Louis de Montfort for sure. I remember, I think it was one Lent, I was looking for a spiritual book to read, and I chose Saint Louis’ book, “The Secret of the Rosary.”

That book was so inspiring for me, and sometimes when I finished a chapter it would make me want to pray right away. For those who haven’t read this book, I highly recommend it.

It also inspired me to write my own manuscript centered around the Rosary, which is when I started getting more serious about writing.

11. Who is your favorite Living Writer?

Probably Raymond Arroyo. I love his “Will Wilder” series. It was so good.

12. If you could have lunch with any deceased writer who would it be, what would you eat and what would you talk about?

At first, I thought about C.S. Lewis to talk to him about the writing craft. But then I had second thoughts. I would most definitely want to have lunch with Saint Louis de Montfort. It would be such a blessing!

13. Name a favorite movie/tv show or music you find worth sharing with others.

Definitely “It’s a Wonderful Life,” and “The Bells of Saint Mary’s.” (I know. Both Christmas movies. But besides Christmas time, I don’t really watch many movies.

14. Can you see one of your books being made into a movie or tv series? Who would you want to star or direct?

Maybe my first big project that I ever wrote, which I’m in the process of re-writing. I’m not sure who I’d want to star.

15. Favorite Historical event.

The Nativity of Our Lord. It is great to meditate on the nativity of our Lord, knowing that Jesus came into the world so that we might be saved.

Adoration of the Shepherds by Dutch painter Matthias Stomer, 1632
