Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am preoccupied by questions such as: Is there a higher power that has created and maintains the universe? Do we possess immortal souls? What is the nature of space and time and thought? What are ideas and do they have anything to do with words? Is everything I’ve ever done a nonsensical waste of time? I have written a novel and a novella which explore some of my ideas about these things.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Devil’s Workshop: A Metaphysical Extravaganza was inspired by my philosophical interest in the true nature of God. Naturally I disguised it as a ripping pirate yarn. Those looking for an action adventure story with multiple plot strands, morally gray characters and superb prose will not be disappointed.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t have any habits. I just write whenever I feel inspired.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Lord Dunsany, Jack Vance and James Branch Cabbell are three prominent ones.
What are you working on now?
I’m trying my hand at another novel.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I haven’t found any.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t bother. You’re wasting your time.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Stop. I didn’t follow it.
What are you reading now?
War and Peace, Les Miserables.
What’s next for you as a writer?
No idea.
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?
Boat Building for Beginners, A Guide to Poisonous Plants and How to Avoid Them, Comprehensive First Aid
