Interview With Author Bobby Nash
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a writer and artist. My first published work was in 1992. My first professional comic book debuted in 2000. My first novel was published in 2005. It’s been pretty busy since then. At last count, I have 215 published credits across novels, comic books, short prose, full-cast audio drama scripts, and screenplays. I am lucky enough to write in multiple genres, but thrillers, crime, and mystery are where I find myself most of the time. I love creating characters and then putting them through hell.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Snow Island is the eighth book in my Snow series of novellas. Snow is an action/thriller series that I like to call my love letter to 70’s & 80’s detective TV shows and books. You’ll see shades of The Rockford Files and magnum p.i. in the types of stories I tell. They’re fun.
Snow Island plays with two tropes that 70’s and 80’s detectives faced. A trip to Hawaii and a backdoor pilot.
Snow heads to Hawaii to visit Samson Brooks, an old friend, and someone we’ve met before in the Snow books. Samson and his brother, Walker, have set up shop in the islands, working as detectives and security consultants. When an old enemy arrives and abducts Abraham Snow, the Brooks brothers and Archer Snow, leap into action to find and rescue him. Meanwhile, Snow’s not waiting around to be rescued. He enacts a plan to free himself and take down an enemy he thought he’d dealt with years earlier.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I’m not sure how unusual they are. I write multiple projects at the same time. It helps me be more productive. On any given story, I can only write so much before I reach a stopping point. Working on multiple projects, I can then go work on another one until I reach the stopping point there, then over to another, etc… It’s a habit that works for me.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Oh, so many. Michael Connelly has long been a writing hero of mine. I take influence from everywhere. I talk to writers and see what they’re doing. Not just in writing, but marketing, promotion, interacting with readers, and the like. Could what they do work for me? What can I learn? I am always watching, listening, and learning.
What are you working on now?
At the moment (November 1, 2025) I have a sci-fi/adventure novella in edits/rewrites, the next Tom Myers mystery (Sweet Nothin’s) and the next Dante horror/western (Dante’s Express) in the writing stages. I’m also working on a full-cast audio sci-fi/heist drama script for 2026 and am in the beginning stages of a new novel. Plus, I have comics I’ve written that I go over art as it arrives and the occasional short story opportunity that pops up.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Social media continues to be a good methos, but I also share my work to various promotion sites, such as this one, Patreon, my websites, and I do podcasts and interviews, but my best method for selling books is in person. I do a brisk business at events where I can talk to readers and put a face and voice to the books. I love meeting and talking with people so it’s the best of both worlds for me.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
First off, have fun with it. Writing is a tough business. If you’re not having fun writing, it can be a miserable job. Beyond that, make plans. Decide what you want to get out of your writing. Do you want writing to be your career? A hobby? Somewhere in the middle? All are valid options. Knowing what you want to accomplish with your writing is very helpful to making plans.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
If you want to make writing your career, you have to treat it like a job. That means working even when you don’t feel like it. It means long days and sleepless nights when deadlines loom and you’ve fallen behind. You can’t wait for the muse to strike if it’s your job.
This advice was given to me by a writer and it completely changed the way I looked at my writing career.
What are you reading now?
I am currently reading Devil’s Hand by Lori B. Duff. On deck is The Proving Ground (A Lincoln Lawyer novel) by Michael Connelly.
What’s next for you as a writer?
There are always stories in the que ready to be written. As the year is winding down, I’ve started making plans for 2026. What projects get priority? What events do I want to do? Things like that. I leave room for adjustment, and they’ll happen, but it helps me to go into the new year with a plan.
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?
Oh, lord. That’s tough. The Thor by Walt Simonson omnibus, Whipping Boy by John Byrne, and a Harry Bosch novel by Michael Connelly. Ask me again tomorrow and I’m sure it’ll be three different books.
