Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I live in Southern Arkansas with my wife, Alma, our two kids as well as Kat our cat and Max, our huge German shepherd dog. I’ve travelled extensively around the world and draw upon my experiences to create relatable characters and interesting adventures for my readers to enjoy. I’m currently in my third year of law school. Upon graduation and now with the completion of my first novel, my last bucket list items will be achieved.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Super Moon Protocol
As an avid reader of suspense and thriller novels I have always aspired to write one myself. A few years back I decided to sit down and hammer out my first attempt at a short story. I used many elements of my real life on a small farm in North Texas. The short story had all the elements of what I love to read… fast paced, heart pumping suspense, descriptive creativity and subtle humor. I love to tell good stories. It was based on a rooster. You may be thinking, a rooster? Throw in the CIA, Mexican cartels, smarty art psychologists, Vietnam survivalists, redneck truckers, Nazi librarians, hi-tech weaponry, lots of horsepower, heart tugging moments and yeah well, you won’t look at roosters the same again. I can promise you that!
The book has conspiracy depth going back to WWII and the creation of NASA and the CIA. Mel and Rob Florchett must untangle their tragic family history to unlock the danger looming for the entire world in the coming days. The characters are colorful, interesting and very relatable. I believe men AND women would like this read as I have some very strong ass-kicking female characters and the undercurrent of family and love throughout. (I like writing strong female personalities like the co-star of this book, Mel) The men will get off on the road chases, horsepower, weaponry, war history, humor and sadness. Everyone will love the fact it is a thrilling page turner to see if the world as we know it is devoured by an animal apocalypse!
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I write to thrill…. in other words, I work hard to keep the pages turning. To me, if the reader is entertained, then I’ve done my job. I’m not here to educate about history, science and wisdom of life. I write to keep readers turning pages.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
So many… Tom Clancy, David Baldacci, Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child, then sprinkle some Stephen King all over them all.
What are you working on now?
The sequel to Super Moon Protocol…. which is, Lockdown Protocol. I won’t give the synopsis yet as I don’t wanna give away the ending for Super Moon Protocol just yet.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’ve been trying everything. Google, Facebook, Instagram, Amazon Ads. Anything really to help promote the book.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just sit down and do it. I found writing the book was the easy part. It’s everything after that becomes the work.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Stephen King explained in an interview a book should not take longer than a season to write, or it will never get finished. I took that advice and finished my first book.
What are you reading now?
Nothing… spending all my free time promoting Super Moon Protocol.
What’s next for you as a writer?
To finish the next two books in this trilogy. Lockdown Protocol and Final Protocol.
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?
My Kindle and solar cell…. is that cheating?
