Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a screenwriter in Hollywod, CA writing under a pen name. I’ve written 2 other books.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
This Light Novel,”Generation 150″ was the brainchild of my college age grandson. He’s a fan of Japanese graphic novels,Anime and “Light Novels”. We decided to write this book, together, and it was and is a wonderful experience for us both. When we are writing, we are business partners, not Grandmother and Grandson. The profits from the sale of this book on Kindle will go towards his collge fund.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t force anything. Even when I’m on a deadline, if I have nothing of value to write at that moment, I don’t. It makes for better books and screenplays.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
NEVER,NEVER give up!!! I know everyone says that, but take a break if you’re discouraged. A writer writes. It’s your life blood.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
If you write because you want to make money and become famous, it will never happen. That was a tough one for me. Of course I want to make money! Its’s true, when you write without worrying about profit, you will get noticed.
What are you reading now?
Keith Richard’s Autobiography. It’s like a history book of music from the 70’s on.
