Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’ve written hundreds of articles and press releases, but this is my first full book. I’m very excited about it.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Sicarionauts is my book. It was inspired by SpaceX opening their spaceport near my home. I’ve been enjoying watching the rockets being put together. As I watched, the entire story hit me all at once. I quickly jotted it down and developed it into the book that exists today.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I have to be completely alone and have very minimal distractions. I can output about a chapter a day, not including rewrites.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I’m a huge fan of Isaac Asimov and the ‘I robot’ series. I also love the way Anne Rice writes her books. She has an incredible ability to really place you into the worlds she creates. I find it inspiring.
What are you working on now?
At the moment, I’m working on books 2 and 3 in the Sicarionauts series. They are going to be excellent sequels for this first book.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I have a website for the book, sicarionauts.com and it contains a collection of links that take you to various popular booksellers. You can also get signed copies of the book and related merchandise on the site.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Minimize the noise in your life and get lost in the world of your book. No one is going to write it for you, so you have to ‘just do it’. Don’t get stuck on section if you cant get it out as eloquently as you’d like. You can always come back to it later in the rewrites.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Talk less and work in private. Let your results speak for you.
What are you reading now?
X-Files, the complete archives. (I’m a huge fan)
