Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am John Satterlee a first time author of the book Eternal Love and Life. I live and work in Orlando, FL with my wife and two sons. Born in Kodiak, AK, raised in upstate New York in a small town called Broadalbin and finished school in Orlando. Served 5 years in the U.S. Air Force in the early 80s. Outside of writing worked in the hotel, apartment and pest service industries but hope to be known more for my writing in the future.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My current book is Eternal Love and Life but another will be on the way. Eternal Love and Life is a combination of a love story and end time bible prophecy. http://www.christianfaithpublishing.com/books/?book=eternal-love-and-life I wanted to have a story where people who most people would reject be heroes and to give attention to coming events in bible prophecy at the same time.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
The main climax/big ending is in the second to last chapter. Like to use last chapter as a summary of the book. Like to have illustrations or charts in key places to show what the characters are going through.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
If I had to name a book it would be Left Behind. Actually inspiration from this book came from the movie series, Thief in the Night, Distant Thunder, Image of the Beast and Prodigal Planet from 70s/80s, Haven’s Light and a small bit of Hogan Heroes.
What are you working on now?
My second book that is on the way is based on the Prodigal Son story but setting is in rural Idaho and Las Vegas. A young farm boy comes into a lot of money comes into a lot of money and wants to leave the small town for women and adventure in Las Vegas. Things went well at first in Las Vegas then he met the woman he thought was the woman of his dreams but turned out to be his worse nightmare. When he run out of money and was living on the streets he realized going home was the best option and at home he turned his life around.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Make the reader care about my main character or characters.
