Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a SciFi enthusiast and a coffee addict. Currently, I have one finished book, The Universe Between Us. But right now, I am working on book 2 of my current novel and on a futuristic SciFi one.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Universe Between Us. Well, I have to give credit to the aliens first; they inspired me–don’t get me wrong, the aliens I imagine. But I’m a big U.F.O/conspiracy thingy fan too. So I thought to myself, why not write a book about aliens that might seem antagonistic to us, but in their world, they are in their own right to pursue universal domination? That’s how my journey began.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Yes. I listen to, headphones on, max volume, dramatic epic music. It’s like being in the middle of a movie.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I’m a big Hard SciFi fan, so, even though I don’t write in that particular subcategory, Isaac Asimov, Ursula K. Le Guin, Orson Scott Card, and the like inspired me.
On the lighter side, I enjoy reading books by Beth Revis.
Also, in the non-fiction arena, Zecharia Sitchin’s books.
What are you working on now?
On two books. The first is book 2, and I’m thinking of an apocalyptic theme. The second one I’m writing, bit by bit, is a futuristic/SciFi/Romance novel about a space cruiser mission to Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Yes, of course. Don’t write for the money, write what you love. And, always, always, believe in yourself.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Never give up and keep writing.
What are you reading now?
Fear the Sky, book 1, by Stephen Moss.
