Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a science fiction and fantasy writer. I produced a book of science fiction writing prompts.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
From Alien Invasion to Time Travel: 350 Science Fiction Writing Prompts. After overcoming an inability to produce creative work, I wanted to write a book that would help fellow writers, succeed in dealing with writer’s block.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
No.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Jasper Fforde and Jhumpa Lahiri. When I had writer’s block, I revisited The Taking by Dean Koontz. I also read Something Wicked This Way Comes, and several of Ray Bradbury’s short stories.
What are you working on now?
I’m currently working on a novel and two more books of writing prompts.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
The best method has been to get the word out, using several websites. I make sure that I don’t exclusively focus on one, to promote my book. I also make sure that I update my social media accounts, on a regular basis.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Read, as much as possible, and write, every day.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
To keep being an avid reader.
What are you reading now?

To continue writing more books, and to connect with fellow readers and writers.
