Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
18 books plus 9 short stories
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Time Portal 6: The Philadelphia Experiment. This is the 6th book in the Time Portal series. I recently read about the experiments conducted on the USS Eldridge in 1944 and what I found interesting was how the article described missing men after the experiment was concluded. “Some men disappeared into nothingness.” Disappearing into nothingness sure sounded like a Time Portal to me so I wrote a story based on that assumption.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I’m an undisciplined writer and by that I mean I write when I feel like it and once I start I sometimes write well into the night. Unlike a disciplined writer who has a set time when he or she will write. I had a writer friend of mine who got up early while it was still dark and only wrote for one hour and he did this every morning.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I’m a prolific reader so many authors have influenced me. I love Alexander Dumas, Vince Flynn, and many others too numerous to mention. I have learned a lot about writing as I read their books.
What are you working on now?
I’m working on the 3rd Lone Jack Kid book.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I use amazon almost exclusively
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t let negative reviews discourage you.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Napoleon Hill in his great book “Think and Grow Rich” has a quote that I love.
“STICKABILITY IS 90% OF ABILITY.”
Remember it’s better to fail miserably than doing nothing gallantly.
What are you reading now?
Tribesman by Paul Freeman
What’s next for you as a writer?
I’m thinking of writing a sequel to Lafitte’s Treasure
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?
