Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’ve written five books, all dystopian and intensely focused on the fact that our technological advances are far outpacing our social advances. We humans have no single ethic, not even one that we should all agree upon – like ensuring the long-term survival of our species (even if we disagree about the method). Without this, we are being swept toward the final, cataclysmic creek: 7.5 billion in a leaky boat with no paddles.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The latest book is the third in the “Over the Precipice” series called “The Wasting: Descent to the Cataclysm.”
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I read the text out loud in my first edit.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Upanishads (which most Americans have never heard of), Bible, Catcher in the Rye, various Heinlein
What are you working on now?
Secret stuff!
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Twitter most likely.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Like my Twitter profile says, assume you’ll write to support a substandard lifestyle. If you do better than that, then great!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Look both ways…
What are you reading now?
Upanishads, Bible
What’s next for you as a writer?
I’ll write more books when I get angry again at humanity’s ignorance and laziness, present company excluded, of course.
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?
Upanishads, Bible, Encyclopedia Americana (in entirety), Dancing Wu Li Masters
