Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’ve written 2 1/2 books. Probably more like 1 1/3. They’re entitled, Memoirs of a Douchebag, American MaleWhore in Tokyo, and The Stars’ Fault.
As for me, I like reading, watching the NFL, and daydreaming about having my own private island. But the more I daydream about it, the more it sounds like a hassle. Do I really have to arrange for private daily deliveries of fresh fruit, vegetables, and women?!
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Stars’ Fault. It’s partially a parody of The Fault in Our Stars (which is actually a great book) and more partially a mindscrew that struck me when I was reading a book about how the brain works.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Sometimes I do it lefty because it feels like someone else is doing it.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
This is a horrible answer, but everything I’ve ever seen and read has influenced me. Feel free to hate.
What are you working on now?
The next one. I’d like to tell you the name but I can’t because I don’t know who you are and I absolutely do not trust you in any way whatsoever.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
This one is by far the best.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write topless.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
When my mom drove me to college and was dropping me of at the dorm, she said: “Flush with you foot.”
What are you reading now?
Shiroi Shirushi. (It’s Japanese. Did I mention that I read Japanese? Ding Ding Ding, John Box rules!)
What’s next for you as a writer?
Probably sitting back and waiting for all the literary groupies that come once you launch a 66-page novella on Amazon.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
They would all be Penthouse magazines. And not 3, definitely 4.
