Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I teach drama and theatre at a public arts high school in Connecticut. As a national award winning playwright I have written dozens of plays and the books for three musicals. My first novel, Fleeing Steady Habits, was published by Black Rose Writing in 2016. My second and third novels, Eris Adrift and Eris At Rest are available at Amazon. The third book in the Eris Series, Eris At Home, will be available soon. I continue to teach and write in Connecticut.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The latest book I have completed is Eris At Home, the third book in the Eris Series. It was inspired by a Post-It note.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
No. I work on my writing every day that I can, sometimes there is no time. I wrote my first short story when I was twelve and have been now for fifty-two years.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Mark Twain is a big influence. I love Faulkner and Kafka. Stephen King inspires all writers; he is a master storyteller. In Science Fiction, Ray Bradbury, Robert Heinlein and Joanna Russ are all heroes.
What are you working on now?
I finished my last book two days ago. I’m taking a breather.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I am still discovering this.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Keep writing. Don’t give up. Financial success is not a measure of talent.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Many years ago in a creative writing class the professor told me I should continue to write because I would find my voice that way. He was right.
What are you reading now?
The Peterson Paradox by Phillip P. Peterson.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Probably a novel I started twenty-five years ago, about the last remaining Native American who refuses to surrender his DNA.
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?
The Collected Works of Edgar Alan Poe, The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury, and The Stand by Stephen King.
