Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I have written 3 books and 1 short story.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book was Second Chances and it was inspired through an idea that came to me and personal experience.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
None that I can think of. Basically sitting down with a cup of coffee and going over my outline before I start writing.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Ted Dekker is one of my favorite authors and has influenced a lot of my writing in the sense of including plot twists. I also read a lot of classic authors that lends influence in the sense of writing style.
What are you working on now?
I am currently working on the sequel to Mane of Redemption.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Still trying to figure out what will be more beneficial. Social media has helped in some ways. I’ve noticed a little more response with promotional sites.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
No matter how defeated you may sometimes feel in this field of creation, never give up on that dream. You never know when the right door will open. If something isn’t working as far as marketing/promoting goes…regroup and try something else.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“Write a short story every week. It’s not possible to write 52 bad short stories in a row.” Ray Bradbury
What are you reading now?
Orchid Beach by Stuart Woods
What’s next for you as a writer?
Keep pushing forward. I have a ton of story ideas in my To Be Written pile. Depending on how well my current WIP does, I may switch gears to another story itching to be written.
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?
One of Faulkner’s works I have yet to read, a book on survival, and the Chronicles of Narnia anthology.
