Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I have been writing BDSM erotica since my retirement from the practice of law 15 years ago.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My most recent outing was the 11th sequel to a long-running series of BDSM novels set in an alternate world where enslavement is a legal remedy for debt and as a sentence for capital crimes. The title is: By Judicial Decree 12: Commercial Treaty.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Yes, many, but none that I can reveal here without subjecting myself to prosecution for violations of Title 18 , Chapter 3 of the US Code, Sections 42 through 48 inclusive.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Some of the writers I particularly admire are the humorist S.J. Perelman, science-fiction authors Jack Vance, Keith Laumer and Eric Flint, critic John Simon, and historians Barbara Tuchman, Bruce Catton among many others, although I cannot say which one or ones has had the most influence on me.
What are you working on now?
I am slogging through a 12th sequel to By Judicial Decree, and given how slow the going has been, it may very well be the last.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
In the past I have used only Prolific Works for promotional giveaways, but I have decided to experiment with other sites like this one, to see if i can reach new readers.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Try to find a successful writer willing to look over your work and give you an honest critique. Also, remember that even if your books very good, it will take time for them to be discovered by readers. I did not sell more than 10 copies per month for over a year after my first novel was published. Now I sell approximately 4,000 ebooks and 1500 audiobooks a year.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Don’t play the horses.
What are you reading now?
A history of the US Navy in the Civil War by James McPherson.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I have always hankered to write the The Great Armenian Novel.
