Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I was born in northern California, and have 25 years of experience in the field of Horticulture, Gardening, Building and Servicing Irrigation Systems, Landscape Design and Installation. I have now written 5 books ( 3 in Amazon Kindle).
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Most recent published book is A Horticultural Guide to Raised Bed Gardening. My many years of vegetable garden, and trying several garden layout plans, is what inspired me to write about my favorite method of raised bed gardens.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I’m mostly inspired by a rare group of science fictions authors, Michael Chriton, Carl Sagen, and Arthur C. Clarke, because of there effort to keep their ideas on a realistic level.
I don’t time for the “green little aliens” mentality that wind up on over used special effects films with little and none content
What are you working on now?
I’m now working on an ebook related to survival in our age of international violence and impending war
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
So far Awesome Gang website has proved to be a good promotion tactic for my books
Do you have any advice for new authors?
always allow at least a little time a day for your writing even if its an uninspired day that you’re having. This keeps a consistent mindset that will help you grow as an author
