Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a Canadian fiction author, I love all things that come deep from the imagination. I’ve written several books, I’ve only published one but that’s just the beginning for me!
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My first release is called End of the World: Infected Part 1.
I decided to go with a horror genre as I had so many ideas inspired from today’s pop cultural zombie style entertainment in television and movies. There are so many ways to tell a zombie story, this one is mine.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I tend to jump around when I’m writing a draft copy; from chapter to chapter either adding parts or taking away. I’ve erased entire characters and scenarios that I decided last minute had no real value to the story and my potential readers. It was quite the journey.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
A lot of the scarier authors; King is one of them. Such brilliant ideas!
What are you working on now?
I am currently working on several titles; you can see a full list on my blog but my main project has been End of the World: Infected Part 2, the second and final book of this short novella series.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Self promoting is difficult; Twitter has been a great help as well as being an influencer in the blogging world, word of mouth through online friends has also been great. I’m hoping Awesome Gang can help get my book into many more readers kindles!
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t give up. If this is truly your dream, your calling, you’ll make it. Just remember how today’s best selling authors all started off at the bottom somewhere. Hard work and dedication can pay off.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
You are your worst critic; believe in yourself.
What are you reading now?
I’m reading a non-fiction, biography style book: Bossypants by Tina Fey. I needed a little laughter and this is working like a charm.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Continuing to write my books and hope to grow my readership and fan base! Maybe one day I will be signed with a print house; signing copies of one of my books, in hard copy.
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?
