Now that he is a published author, there is nothing he loves better than being a full-time author. While he had to deal with a lot of pressure, he finds it very liberating that he gets to do what he had always dreamed of doing ever since he was in high school. As a habit writer, Jon Sprunk works best on a regular schedule. He does most of his work in the evenings after his wife gets back home from work and during the weekends.
