Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I was born in New York, growing up there before moving to Massachusetts in order to attend Harvard University’s prestigious weekend bartending course. I was also an English Minor at Brandeis and did a bit of creative writing there. However, I’ve recently had enough spare time to write my first full-length novel. I now look forward to my next project, raising a newborn daughter alongside my wonderful wife.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
It’s a Cyberpunk Action-Adventure called “Dystopia’s Edge”. I love thriller novels that can be read for fun as a kind of beach read. I also love the Cyberpunk genre because it can convey themes of how advancements in technology don’t always coincide with advancements in the human condition.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
My wife goes to bed about an hour before I do. For about a year, I decided to try creative writing in that block of time rather than playing video games. It appears that I’ve now written a novel.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I can’t speak highly enough of the works written by Candice Millard. Her historical narratives detailing the lives of Theodore Roosevelt and James A. Garfield are simply outstanding.
What are you working on now?
I’ve got another novel in the works. But with a baby on the way, that’s might take a back seat until my daughter gets on a normal sleep schedule
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I got a lot of love on the Cyberpunk subreddit and various Cyberpunk Facebook groups. In my case, it helps to connect with fans of my genre.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write. Put in the time. Nobody is going to do that for you. And you can only learn by doing.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Keith Richards once said at one of his concerts, “It’s good to see everybody! Heck, it’s good to see anybody!”
What are you reading now?
“Nation” by Terry Pratchett. I would highly recommend. It’s always interesting to go through his works unrelated to the Discworld franchise.
What’s next for you as a writer?
A lot of diaper changes. Plus some more scifi action once I get a handle on those.
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?
I’d take 3 photo albums of my family, because I’d miss them all greatly. Plus maybe “Watchmen” by Alan Moore.
