Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Joseph Lewis Tamone. I’ve been writing my entire life, and The Fusion World Project is only part one of eight in the Philanthropy series. The sequel, In The Shadow Of The Demon, is finished and ready to be released. The rest are still underway.
Writing is my passion. It’s been my hobby since I was able to pick up a pencil. I’ve given myself insomnia thinking about things to write.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Fusion World Project: Philanthropy I. I didn’t title the book until after I had written it because I couldn’t think of one. The title is in reference to a major event within the story.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I pace in circles constructing chapters in my head, and then quickly type the words out before I forget. Brainstorming without a keyboard or pen in front of me helps me articulate my story so that it makes sense.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
The Dark Tower series by Stephen King, Phillip Pullman, everything by Phillip K. Dick, and the greatest writer of all time, Thomas Jefferson.
What are you working on now?
The fourth book in the Philanthropy series.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I still haven’t figured that one out.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
If writing is your passion, then write. Don’t worry about money. Just create your art, and somebody will recognize it.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Don’t build a career doing something that you hate.
What are you reading now?
Nothing at the moment. I read so much that I couldn’t find anything I wanted to read, so I decided to write something that I’d want to read.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Finishing up my very ambitious eight-part series.
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 Odyssey, One Thousand And One Nights, Lies Incorporated (or anything by Phillip K. Dick)
