Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I can still remember the first time I went over to my friends house and his older brother was playing D&D with some friends. I was blown away and completely engrossed with the game. Borrowing the first edition box set rules I read everything in the box and then I read it all again for good measure. My obsession for anything fantasy was born. I joined multiple groups in the area and began role playing with friends. In my senior year of high school I thought how cool it would be to write my own adventure so with encouragement from my soon to be wife I hand wrote spiral notebooks full of story. At that time there was no Amazon and the internet was going through its growing pains so I held onto my work as life quickly took center stage. Now twenty plus years later at the age of 45 I have finally published my first book Creatures of Creation. The book is one of three in a series.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest and first book is Creatures of Creation. This writing is inspired by the stories I wrote twenty plus years ago. It’s a story about two extraordinary humans born with the gift of creation, and how each one uses that power.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I try to write two pages a day before I go to sleep no matter what.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Lord of the rings, the hobbit, dragon lance saga’s and druids of shannara to name a few.
What are you working on now?
The second book in the creation series titled Monsters of Creation.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Draft 2 Digital, Amazon, Facebook, and of course the Awesome gang.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
It’s a monumental undertaking and there is a mountain of stuff to learn so take it all in small manageable chunks. Burnout is not your friend so take time to still do things you enjoy. Set aside time to write.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
The world needs your story.
What are you reading now?
PC Gamer, no seriously at the moment I have all my time devoted to my book launch and a full time job.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Book two in the series and promote, promote, promote!
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?
D&D monsters compendium, The Stand, Druids of Shannara, and LOTR.
