Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
My first book The Suffering, was published in November, 2017 and my second was released in October of 2018. I have finished 6 other books and I am just waiting to release them. Many more books are rattling around in my head, just waiting for their inky characters to come to life.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is called Reborn. It really is, that age-old question; is the grass really greener on the other side of the fence. The protagonist is offered a chance to re-live his life, to get it right. If we were given the chance to do things over, would we and could we, or are we pre-destined to repeat the same mistakes.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I wouldn’t know. Are there normal writing habits?
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I read Stephen King and Dean Koontz, but I enjoy the ones that are different than the ‘normal’ horror. I think books that stay with you long after you’re done reading them, have done their job. I need to feel emotionally attached to the characters
What are you working on now?
I’m doing the final edits of a book called Dave’s War. Dave was a broken teenager…Dave is a broken man, but Dave doesn’t know that he is broken. Everyday, he fights a war, but it’s a war that he can not win. Dave’s war gives us a glimpse of a troubled mind, haunted by dreams that spill into his daily life. His best friends Ara and Brevin, with him every step of the way, are not immune to the madness.
Can Dave overcome his demons and win his war?
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just write down what comes out at the time. Edit later, not while the ideas are flowing.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Happy wife, happy life. lol
What are you reading now?
I’m reading 20,000 leagues under the sea with my Grand daughter.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Same as most writers, I suppose. Trying to get more exposure for my writing.
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 Stand, The Bible (always wanted to read it cover to cover)
Lord of the rings Robinson Crusoe
