Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
First time publisher. I work in metal and finish work and love boats.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Hex Wrench-ers, INC! Part I: The Manufacturing of the Heart. The inspiration came from living in a paradox state and a conflicting love of the people and wilderness that can be found everywhere in the world. Wilderness is highly threatened, and I want to inspire a small level of activism in the same way many writers before me have influenced me on a profoundly deeper level than anything I put out there will have the power to do ha. Nonetheless, it’s worth a shot, as there is less time to protect what remains.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I live in a trailer in a desert mountain region and I like to make dirtbags when I am not writing or working.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Edward Abbey, Hemingway, Harper Lee, John O’Toole, Harper Lee.
What are you working on now?
I am finishing the Spanish translation for the Hex Wrench-ers, INC! series, Part I: The Manufacturing of the Heart. When that is finished I am going to continue writing and illustrating Part II: The Devolution of Civil Rights.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Go for it. And don’t let anything stop you.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
That’s a hard one. I will say, “Tomorrow’s another day” has rung pretty true.
What are you reading now?
The March 1979 Hopi Report to the Kikmongwis with Exhibitions. It’s nearly 2,000 pages.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Working, writing, exploring and sharing.
