Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’ve released one book, A Spark of Justice, but I have two more in progress. I like writing Mystery, Thriller and Science Fiction and have a love of big cats, which I try to work into most of my stories.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
A Spark of Justice was inspired by a period of my young life spent with the circus and reading books about old time circuses, before our awareness of animal cruelty made acts like the big cat acts untenable. In fantasy, no animals are mistreated.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
No
What authors, or books have influenced you?
James Otis, Ray Bradbury, Michael Moorcock, Michael Crichton
What are you working on now?
A Thriller called Sabertooth.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’m still working that out.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t spend a fortune on every advertising site out there. Find the ones that get results.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Be excellent to each other.
What are you reading now?
David Copperfield by Charles Dickens
What’s next for you as a writer?
Once I finish Sabertooth, I have a science fiction story partly written which I will complete.
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?
A good survival manual.
Something with a massive amount of pages to use to start fires.
A couple of good fantasy books to keep me sane.
