Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I live on the high desert of southern California. I enjoy reading, writing, riding my motorcycle and practicing martial arts. I have eleven novels plus some short stories that have been published in anthologies. I have two series. One is Biker Fiction and the other is science fiction.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is titled Door Number Two. The title came to me in a dream. I came up with the story to fit the title. It is the forth book in my Mike McDonald Action Adventure Saga.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
The only unusual habit I have is that when I finish the rough draft of a novel I go outside on my back porch and smoke a cigar to celebrate.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Stephen King, Dean Koonts, Louis Lamour and William Johnstone.
What are you working on now?
The Galactic War. It is the forth book in my science fiction series titled, the Space Corps Chronicles.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I promote my books on face book, twitter and site like Awesome Gang.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just write. Don’t worry about what people tell you. Write until your story is told then edit. Your first draft is always crap. Edit, have people read it and give it feed back and only publish it after you think it is the best it can be. Read books on writing and formatting.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Just write. Don’t let people tell you that you can’t write a book or you can’t get one published. If your passion is writing, the write.
What are you reading now?
Fire Fury Freedom by Amanda rose
What’s next for you as a writer?
After I publish the Galactic War I will probably write the next book in my Mike McDonald action Adventure Saga. The working title is Mendoza’s Revenge. The story is in my head, I just have to get it out.
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?
Most likely whatever I could grab that I haven’t read, but if I couldn’t find any that I haven’t read, I would take the Stand by Stephen King, the Education of a Wandering Man by Louis Lamour and the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn my Mark Twain.
