Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I have spent most of my life studying science and technology, and more recently business, but I have been an avid reader for all of my life and love to escape into fiction. I just had some stories inside me that had to get out and this resulted in the two fiction books I have written.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is titled Time Unbound. It is really the second half of Running the Inside Timeline, my first book. I am inspired by technology and the future of technology and where we are heading as a species. Technological change and innovation is happening so rapidly now it is difficult to envision what our world will be like in even twenty-five years. It seems to happen much more rapidly than that. Even so, I think when a new technology is developed, there will be unintended consequences, which is a plot element in my books.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I like to write after I exercise. My brain becomes really active with stories and plot turns while I am exercising and I want to get that creative burst down in writing.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I think everything I have read has influenced me in some regard. My writing is influenced a lot by the ideas of Ray Kurzweil and I like the writings of Ramez Naam, Kim Stanley Robinson and Vernor Vinge as well as some of the classic writers like Heinlein, Asimov, Clarke, William Gibson and James P. Hogan.
What are you working on now?
I’m working on the third book in the Dawn of Time Travel series. I am introducing some new characters and will take them down a different path than the first two.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I am a natural geek and introvert, so it is very difficult to promote myself and my books. I am trying some new things with your website and different promotions on Amazon.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Being fairly new myself, I’m not sure I can give any advice other than to never stop dreaming up stories.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Don’t give up.
What are you reading now?
I’m reading some historical non-fiction that is background for the book I am working on as well as the Apex, the third book in the Ramez Naam Nexus trilogy.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Keep writing and improve every day.
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?
Neuromancer by William Gibson, Thrice Upon a Time by James P. Hogan, The Gunslinger by Stephen King, and The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger.
