Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m Glyn Gardner. 41 year old husband and father of 2. I served in the US Army for 7 years, and have been an ER nurse for the last 3 years. I grew up in the Dallas area, and graduated from both Southwest Texas State, and South Dakota State Universities. APEX is the only book I’ve written so far.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
APEX. I’ve allways been a fan of zombie movies, and Max Brookes, George Romero, and The Walking Dead have been inspirations.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I can’t type, or spell worth a damn. I have to constantly go back and look for those little red squiggly lines. I also nly write on my days off, when my wife and children are at work and school.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Max Brookes, Tom Clancey, Mike Scott
What are you working on now?
Zed. The sequal to APEX
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I have no idea. I’m new to this and APEX has only been live for 15 days.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t quit. Rejection letters suck, but they’re not the end of the world. If you want your book out there, keep plugging and find something that works for you.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
1. Don’t take it personally. Keep it porofessional.
2. Learn to just nod, say “Rodger,” and move out smartly. (Both of these are from my army days)
3. You only regret the things you don’t do, not the things you do.
What are you reading now?
Nothing at the moment. I’m hitting the wwriting pretty hard.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I have no idea. Wealth and riches would be nice. But, right now I’ll take recouping my investment in APEX.
What is your favorite book of all time?
Ender’s Game, and Seal Target Geronimo. That second one os for personal reasons.
