Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Three, two are out. One is being released in October.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Sleepy Time for Captain Eris. It just happened. I’m not sure what inspired it.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I sometimes have to fight to keep my cockatiel off the keyboard. He likes to pop the keys off of the laptop.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I would say my biggest influence was Douglas Adams.
What are you working on now?
Short stories and promotion.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’m still testing the waters. I was pleasantly surprised by Instagram. However, I the jury is still out if it had any demonstrative results.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t let the bastards bring you down. Everyone claims to be a writer, but they never write anything. Remember, what comes out of your head is unique. Don’t let anybody take that from you.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Learn not to give a f*ck. It’s a hard lesson, but if you let people get to you, you will fail.
What are you reading now?
The news. Seriously, do you see that crap? It’s like living in some alternate dimension. You can’t make this crap up.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Keep on plugging away. Write more short stories to be rejected, maybe write some sequels to things.
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?
I would bring blank ones to write in.
