Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
My name is Cliff, and I like to write non-fiction ebooks about topics that really interest me. Specifically autograph collecting, the paranormal, and crime.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is,
Autograph Collecting 101: How To Collect Autographs Through The Mail
It’s a how-to ebook where I talk about how I’ve been able to get more than 1,000 autographs, either for free or just the cost of stamps by requesting them online, and through the mail. I also share some interesting experiences that I’ve had along the way.
I’ve gotten autographs from all different kinds of people like athletes, actors, authors, politicians and even from people such as military veterans and criminals. I think of each autograph as being a piece of history. When it comes to autograph collecting, the possibilities are endless!
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I always work on more than one book at a time, that’s just how my mind works. It’s good because when I get “writers block”, I can work on another book for a while then go back to the other one, and look at it from a different perspective. It helps.
What are you working on now?
I’m currently working on two books at the moment. One is almost finished, it’s a collection of 20 paranormal stories from around the world.
The other book is about a guy that had a wife, kids, everything. Now after a couple of bad choices, and dead bodies later, he’s in prison and never getting out alive. Not every monster is born a monster, they don’t all drift from town to town in a creeper van. Sometimes they’re the nice guy that lives next door! I’m excited about writing that book because there’s so much to it.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“When you write a story, you’re telling yourself the story. When you rewrite, your main job is taking out all the things that are not the story. Your stuff starts out being just for you, but then it goes out.”
-Stephen King
