Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Like many authors, I have a day job. I work in an office and suppose technically I’m a bean counter. In my free hours, I spend a lot of time hunched over a keyboard writing stories and books. Ever since puberty started changing me from a boy to a man, I’ve been fascinated by relationships. Especially romantic ones. From that first look clear all the way through the process of falling in love. This is probably what turned me into a romance author.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My newest release is Sweeter for the Pain. I was inspired by the idea of a hero who is scarred. Not only scarred, but afraid to care again.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Probably not. I’d like to come up with something really unique, but the truth is I just sit at my laptop whenever I can find the time and energy and just pound away.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I’ve been influenced by numerous authors. I love a well-written book. But as far as romance goes, I’d have to say Nicholas Sparks. He writes about love and does it so well.
What are you working on now?
Right now I’m still deciding on my next solo project. I’m also co-writing a romance novel with Madison Hartt. It will be set in New Orleans. It’s going very well and I’m pleased with the work we’ve done so far.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’m not sure yet, since this is fairly new to me. At this point, I’d have to say Twitter. I’ve met a lot of readers there as well as fellow authors.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
I’m still a new author myself, but I guess I would say this: don’t give up. Keep writing.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
With regard to writing: proofread your work carefully.
With regard to everything else: think about where you want to be 5 years from now and plan accordingly.
What are you reading now?
I’m reading a thriller. It’s Q by KD George.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I want to keep on going down the same path I’m on right now, at least for the time being. There are a lot of love stories to be told.
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?
Lord of the Rings trilogy. I guess that takes up 3 of them. Something by Stephen King, with a lot of words in it.
