Amazon #1 Bestselling Author
“Cary Allen Stone is an important name to watch. This is one superb crime writer!”––Grady Harp, Amazon Hall of Fame Top 100 Reviewervine Voice
My backstory is, I spent forty years inside the cockpits of corporate jets and airlines and because of my flying career I believe I acquired a unique perspective of life. I was fortunate in 1992 to fly Ridley Scott on a location scout in the Caribbean islands. We talked about writing and building an image with the words, a great mentor to a new author. I graduated from college with a Bachelor of Arts. I have been involved in feature films in Hollywood and Indie films in Phoenix. I have done voice-over, radio commercials, and standup comedy magic. I represented the USA alongside nine other countries at the “Night of Magic” in Bogota, Colombia, performing before dignitaries, ambassadors and their families. I’m a proud member of the oldest women’s writers club in Phoenix––the Phoenix Writer’s Club, and a member of the International Thriller Writer’s. Bestselling authors Clive Cussler and Tim Dorsey endorsed my “Stealing Atlanta.”
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Coming in fall…AFTER YOU”RE DEAD – A Jake Roberts Novel, Book 5.
A continuation of Detective Jake Roberts and the perils he falls into. He never looks for trouble but trouble always finds him. Men want to be Jake Roberts and women want Jake Roberts.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Nothing unusual, basic deep research. Once I have a title, the first sentence and the last sentence I start putting the story down on the page.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Clive Cussler most of all “The Hunt For Red October” by Tom Clancy. I must have read it three or four times and I have never done that with any other book. I love submarines. It was his first and best.
What are you working on now?
AFTER YOU’RE DEAD, Book 5 in my Jake Roberts Novels.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I use all websites.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Believe in make-believe. Dedicate yourself to the craft. Everyone wants to write, but not everyone is disciplined to write.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Expose the writer and write what you know.
What are you reading now?
Mostly research.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Another Jake Roberts Novel.
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?
I’d take a volleyball named “Wilson,” a copy of “Survival On Deserted Islands for Dummies,” and a map to find the others who made the island famous in the first place.
