Out of my three sons, my oldest LuCario, has drawing skills almost like me. He is only 7 years old. In his class he received the best Artist Reward. Can you say #proudmommy, to the fullest? Laughing out loud. But wait, there is more. His twin brother LaMario is in to sports and trucks. He received The Best Sportsmanship in his class. Yet again, I am a #proudmommy to the fullest, again.

And last but not least, my baby boy JaTario. He is a ladies man. He’s smart for a 4 year old. Love him to death. As a matter of fact, I love all my sons from here to the ends of the earth and then some.

Fuzionz: How long have you been writing?

Otelia: I’ve been writing short stories since I was in elementary school. I enjoyed doing spin offs and fan fictions. My aunt used to say, “A picture could tell a story or a thousand words.” Since I had a rough childhood, I would express or convey my feelings through drawing, writing poems or short stories.

Fuzionz: When did you discover your writing talents?

Otelia: When my friends and family would tell me that I had a very vivid imagination, after they had finished reading my fan fictions, short stories and poems. That was over 16 years ago, when I was 10 or so.

Fuzionz Magazine and TV had the privilege of interviewing with Author Otelia Graham. The Hampton, Virginia native is witty with a great sense of humor. We found out that, not only does she have a love for writing, but for Dragon Balls, also. Check out our interview with Otelia.

Fuzionz: Tell me a little about yourself.

Otelia: Well where do I began? I am a huge fan of anime/ manga. I attend anime conventions that are held in my home town of Hampton, Virginia every year. I am a true nerd to the fullest. I have all 7 dragon balls {only true fans of anime or fans of dragon ball z will know what I am talking about} tatted all over my body. I also have Inuyasha’s beaded necklace tatted around my left wrist. I love to draw. Perhaps, in my next upcoming novels, I’ll have some of my work in them. I’m not a professional, but I do try. Now let me tell you about my babies, or children.
