Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a television producer/director in Honolulu, HI. I see everyone else is having great success in self-publishing, why not give it a go! So, this is my breakout novel.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
“The Book of Ruein” is actually inspired by a character I role played in a d20 game system. So many of the other players griped about her nature, that I was taken aback how they couldn’t imagine her working out.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
It’s all new and unusual to me. So, I’m giving many ways a go. I usually do my writing from 6AM until 9AM (I’m learning that’s par for the course though). I am finding nice strolls to do my dictation around my tropical island.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Piers Anthony, Robert Asprin, Stephen R. Donaldson, and the classic fantasy authors.
What are you working on now?
Book Two: Fires of Haraden
I plan on releasing every 6-months.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Will let ya know once I’ve figured that out!
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Learn by doing. Also, by following what others have tried, but mostly by doing.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Chris Fox’s “Write to Market” would probably be an excellent starting point. If you’re just beginning it’d be better to narrow in on an underserved niche. I launched myself into a highly competitive market, but I accept that.
What are you reading now?
Starting in on Jim Butcher.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Nine more books in this series.
