Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a deaf-blind web application developer and I’ve written two science fiction novels.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The latest book I”ve written is called the Alien Diaries. My inspiration comes in many forms. Growing up on a steady diet of science fiction by way of Star Wars, ET, Star Trek coupled with a blend of history, Indiana Jones and Clive Cussler. I searched for ways to blend my love for history and science fiction and Alien Diaries was born.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
None. I’m the worst procrastinator. I just try to write about 500 to 1000 words a day because of my commitments to my day job
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Stephen King. Clive Cussler. Enid Blyton. Michael Critchon. David McCullough
What are you working on now?
I’m starting to work on the sequel to the Alien Diaries
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
So far it has been Facebook and Twitter.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Slow and steady wins the race. Take your time. Don’t rush to a first draft with visions of becoming a best selling writer. If you are in it just for the money, maybe you should not write.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Take the money and run. William Diehl told me that.
What are you reading now?
Believe it or not, I’m reading CompTIA Security+. I just finished reading a Column of Fire by Ken Follet which was great.
What’s next for you as a writer?
To keep writing of course.
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?
Well I need to finish Security+ so I’ll take that. In case I get rescued and I’ll be ready to take that test. But course, I’m going to need a break and read something interesting. Perhaps I’ll take some of David McCullough with me – the Pioneers.
