Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hey there! So… I grew up in Oceanside, CA, went to school in L.A. and then moved to Europe. I’ve lived in Slovenia (5 years) and Russia (1 year). I mostly dabble in Theology and Mythology.
As of this interview, I’ve published 3 books, with the final 2 “Solve the World” novels coming out in the next few months.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Solve the World (4 part series). Originally, I created it as an audio-drama podcast. The initial idea was to tell one massive story over the course of 100 weekly podcast episodes. It took me 3 1/2 years to complete the podcast. I let it sit for 18 months after finishing it, but have now begun the arduous process of taking my podcast manuscripts and editing them into book form.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I like to listen to one song over and over again. That way, years later, when I hear the song again, it immediately takes me back to that specific story I was writing.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Neil Gaiman, C.S. Lewis, Dostoevsky.
What are you working on now?
Finishing up Part 4 of Solve the World.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I really don’t know, yet. Still figuring out how to sort my way through this promotional jungle.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Not really! I am a new author!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Writers write. Everybody has ideas, but it’s the discipline of actually writing that separates the idealists from the… uh… dealists(?)!
What are you reading now?
“The Other Gospels” — apocryphal writings about Jesus.
