Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m the author of The Desert Peach series, the Stinz series, and the Hader and the colonel and Bosom Enemies series. I’m presently doing the webcomic “Afterdead,” in which all my characters interact in the same world. I’ve run out of counting how many books I’ve written and drawn, in comics form and prose. I’m the organizer of the Clallam Bay Comicon, in 2015 in its fifth year. Been in the biz since 1986.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest ongoing webcomic – ultimately to be collected in a book – is “Afterdead.” All my characters appear in it. I’m working on a book now that I don’t want to reveal yet, as the concept is unusual.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Not really. Unless drawing on a board in my lap counts.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I’m fond of Twain, Kipling, Gogol, Dickens and Sterne.
What are you working on now?
A book of illustrated prose that could be for children, but readable for adults.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Comicons and the internet.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Work. Do things. Don’t listen to people telling you how to right to fit in or market. Just experience, and write and write and write.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“Just write.”
What are you reading now?
“Bertie Sings The Blues.”
What’s next for you as a writer?
Finishing the next book.
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?
Crazy Weather, Tristram Shandy, Perfume, anything by Kipling
