Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I have Bachelor of Science degree in Fermentation Science from the University of California at Davis. In 1995, I was in a bicycle (me) vs pick-up truck collision. I lost. I received a severe Traumatic Brain Injury, a broken neck, and a lot cuts and scratches. I wrote two books on that continuing ordeal. Those books are: “TBI Hell – A Traumatic Brain Injury Really Sucks” followed by “TBI Purgatory – Comes After Being In TBI Hell.” I had no training to be a writer and never even imagined that I would write a book. I didn’t like any English, literature, or any such class in all my schooling. In fact, I extremely disliked them.
I have written three books total.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
I have now written a novel. It was first released in 2015, but it was so full grammatical errors (I edited it myself – big mistake) that I had to edit it again. I did it myself again (lack of funds) but this time I did have some help and did a much better job.
It was inspired by the incompetence (in my opinion) of President Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Governor Jerry Brown (D – California), and other politicians (mostly, but not limited to, Democrats.) It was also inspired by annoying tourists, and residents, in the Napa Valley.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I like to eat dark chocolate M&M’s while writing.
What are you working on now?
A western.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
That’s my problem. I don’t promote my books.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t worry about good grammar, or spelling, or structure, or anything. That can all be fixed later…just write something down.
