What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
“Back In Town” was released in June 2014. It is the follow-up sequel to “In A Small Town.” The inspiration for all of my books comes from my love of law enforcement. Having been a police detective for most of my career, I wanted to spotlight how much crime actually happens in a small town.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I try to write during the day but I always keep a pad and pen handy. Something can pop into my head at any time and a writer needs to be prepared to copy these thoughts down.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I’m a big Patterson fan since I was a kid.
What are you working on now?
The third installment in A Small Town series titled “Last In Town.” I’m also looking into adapting my books into a screenplay and preparing audio-books as well.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Bookbub.com has been the single best advertising website for me. Since, November 2013, “In A Small Town,” has been downloaded over 100,000 times for free. Now, it’s time to make some pennies.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Keep writing, listen to the voices in your head, they’re telling you something. Oh, and you’re not crazy if you do hear them.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Marketing a book is harder work than writing it. This is so true, especially for an indie author.
What are you reading now?
Actually, nothing at the moment, What do you recommend?
What’s next for you as a writer?
Releasing “Last In Town,” screenplay adaptations, audio-books and I just started a new thriller called Scratch-Out.
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?
1) “The Godfather.”
2) “Bad Monkey.”
