Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Trained as an architect, I’m a US expat who has lived in Barcelona for the last couple of decades so when I decided to write Historical Fiction it seemed natural that I use my current city as the backdrop for my writing.
Very descriptive, BJM is intended for those interested in the following: historical mystery, or the brave origins of non-digital photography, or European Mediterranean cultures in the 1900’s, or simply those who have visited Barcelona in the past and loved the city as well as those who plan a return visit or first visit here.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Quid Pro Quo in Paris. Placed in 1960, this book is still in the writing. I am interested in relatively recent historical fiction; I feel the recent past has greater relevance to our present. Also, 1960 is a pre-beetles, pre-drug sex and rock-and-roll period but in many ways very exciting, and a period generally overlooked by writers. For this very same reason for The BCN Journal Murders I chose 1906, a pre-WW one time…
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I’m pretty busy as an architect, so I write on trains and planes or while waiting for an appointment. Never suffered from writer’s block.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I’m currently reading Force vs Power by David Hawkins. Quite Mindboggling.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
twitter, and internet book reviews sites.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Never give up.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work. Thomas A. Edison
