Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a full-time soldier and a part-time author. I’ve published eleven e-books so far, many under pen names.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is called Inside the A7FL: Your Intro to the World’s Biggest No-Pads Football League. The A7FL is an independent football league which plays without a helmet and pads and says it makes the game safer. I think the league is great, so I wanted to do something to help promote it.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I tend to write in big spurts, sometimes for eight hours at a time. It all depends how much time I have to write.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Chris MacDougal’s Book, “Born to Run”, is a big influence, not just because it’s a great story, but because it started a movement. That shows that books can still be world-changers, even as other forms of entertainment continue to emerge.
What are you working on now?
The A7FL Player’s Guide. Now that my intro to the league is done, I want to help promote the players who make the game go.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
This website for sure, but there are also others. Best bet is to go to bibliocrunch.com and promote your book on every site they have listed.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
The work isn’t done after you’ve written the final page. If anything, it’s just beginning. The easy part is writing the book. The hard part is convincing people to read it. And the really hard part is getting them to pay you for it.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
See above.
What are you reading now?
Steve Young: My Life Behind the Spiral. Autobiography of one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history.
What’s next for you as a writer?
More books about the A7FL and football in general.
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?
I’d just take my kindle. There has to be wifi on the island somewhere.
