What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
A Distortion of Reality. I was a senior in high school in 1984 and it just came to me one day. I worked on it off and on for several years then stopped for about 6 years. I finished it three years ago and had a lot of changes including the title. The original title was Dreams but it wasn’t as fitting as the current title.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Not really. Sometimes it just comes out of no where.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
The two that come to mind are George Orwell and J. D. Salinger. There are others but they are the main ones.
What are you working on now?
I have two I have started, ‘Tales of the Bedroom Madame’ and the newest one, ‘Johnny Song, The Assassins Assassin’.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Word of mouth mostly. I completed my first online interview last week and it’ll be out on November 30th.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
To never give it.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
To follow your passion and not let anyone try to derail you.
What are you reading now?
I haven’t been reading much just observing the world around me for inspiration.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I have no idea. I like gong on the unknown road to see where the story I’m writing will take me.
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?
The Catcher In The Rye, The Scarlett Pimpernil and 1984.
