Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Been writing for a long time but the itch to publish something came on strong with CARLA. I reside in South Carolina across from Augusta, GA. No Stephen King of James Patterson, yet, but am having a great time crafting stories.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
CARLA. It’s an action-mystery-suspense thriller. The title came into my mind and just wouldn’t leave for many months. It began as a horror novel, but after the eighth time of losing the first few pages in my computer, I took it as a sign that God didn’t want me to write it as a horror novel. After four years and oodles and oodles and oodles of revisions, I uploaded it.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
For me it’s late afternoon and evenings is my writing time.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
After high school, I read Sidney Sheldon, Jeffrey Archer, and Stephen King more than others.
What are you working on now?
Got four books in the can. Measuring when to release them. Got more ideas onm the drawing board.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
SMASHWORDS so far. I like to see the international map of sales. I’m on the Web seeking all kinds of advice on what would make my marketing more efficient.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Take your own advice.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Been a lot of them but “Find something you love doing and you’ll never have to work a day in your life.”
What are you reading now?
GOLDEN IN DEATH by J.D. ROBB
What’s next for you as a writer?
Keep on churning out product.
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?
