Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Currently I have eight full novels, and a number of short stories and multiple novel collections all available at Amazon.com
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My last published work was BENNINGTON P.I. “Take two and call me in the morgue”. It is the second full novel in the Bennington P.I. series.
I am currently working on my next novel, MAC WALKER’S 40,000 Feet which will be the fifth full Mac Walker book to be made available to readers.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I will sometimes get up and act out a scene in my head while walking around the room. It helps me to visualize it. I imagine if someone walked in, they would be certain I was in need of serious psychiatric evaluation. They might be right of course…
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, Tom Clancy, Stephen King, JD Salinger, and many-many more.
What are you working on now?
“MAC WALKER’S 40,000 Feet”
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
My blog is of great help as it enjoys thousands of regular readers already. My many followers on Facebook have been a great help as well.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Each author is different. Writing cannot be forced, but rather inspired. There are weeks where I struggle, and then days when I literally can’t stop the story from being told.
It’s a tough road, to be sure. Writing, promoting, re-writing, promoting some more, watching sales rise, then fall, and wondering why.
And if you have a thin skin, you best prepare. While most readers can be very supportive, there are some who seem to delight in the particularly dismissive and/or abusive review.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
To be a writer requires one write.
It pretty much comes down to that point where ideas form words, which in turn, create a story. There’s no shortcut – you simply have to get to it.
What are you reading now?
Charles Krauthammer’s “Things That Matter”.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Hopefully great success!
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?
The Bible.
The Poems of Dylan Thomas
Fahrenheit 451
The Stand
