Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’ve been writing since 2002 and published my first novel in 2014. To date, I have four books published in the Demon’s Quest series with two more scheduled in the near future. I also have a short story published and a standalone novel coming out next month.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
I was inspired to write my latest book, The Wayward Knight because one of my characters (Tracs) turned out to have a pivotal role throughout the series.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I like to listen to music while I write.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Terry Brook and Brian Keene are my two favorite authors.
What are you working on now?
I just finished my latest novel, Madness of My Dreams. The book is in the loving hands of my editor/publisher.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’ve tried many, so I am hoping Awesome Gang turns out to be that site.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write and take your time. It’s your labor of love and it doesn’t matter if it takes a year or two to finish the novel… Oh one more… Get a good editor.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Keep writing and let the magic happen.
What are you reading now?
The Skaar Invasion by Terry Brooks.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Last year, a film student created a short film based off one of my characters, so I’d like to pitch the movie to a few movie producers and see where it goes. They won several awards, so I’m excited for them.
Here’s a link to the movie if you want to see it:
