Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
This is actually my first, I have been chipping away at this for a while. I wanted to add some scientific research to the book as I feel a lot of the ‘self-help’ genre is very much a case of fancy empty awe-inspiring words with no circumstantial evidence.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Nocturnal Genius
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
At night. Of course, 2 am is the most common time that I see nowadays since retirement.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Girl wash your face, By Rachel Hollis. My wife was reading it one night and fell asleep. So I borrowed it for a few hours and found it endlessly fascinating and inspiring for the next upcoming generation of women.
What are you working on now?
I have a few nonfiction ideas in the works, but I feel the upcoming generations of young businesspeople need a rude awakening of the new rules of capitalism and I would like to help them out in understanding how to handle their mental health better.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Amazon is very useful but I do try to look into other indie websites.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Get that first draft done. It doesn’t matter if you hate it. It will be easier to flesh it out after your skeleton draft is built.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Let Go or Be Dragged.- This applies to people who stay in a 9-5 mindset.
What are you reading now?
The Count of Monte Cristo
What’s next for you as a writer?
Waiting for some inspiration to hit me in the face like a brick- as it usually does.
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?
Dune
Harry Potter ( It reminds me of my kids)
The Book thief
