Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
6- “A deal with God-The power of One” is my most successful and best known. I am traditionally published with Dusty Saddles Publishing. We put together a real cool website : countrywesternbooks.com- I am currently finishing up the sequel to the best selling western “Jake Dukes-Vengeance Executed”.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
I am leaning toward “Jake Dukes- Vengeance Demanded”. When you read the first Jake you want the sequel. It is one of those stories you never want to end.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Yes. I figure out a cool storyline. I write the ending first. If it does not have a great ending I won’t waste my time on the rest.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Mark Twain. Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. I like escapism. I like a book that makes me want to live what the character is living.
What are you working on now?
I just signed with Dusty Saddles Publishing to write a series of Westerns. I think we can continue to put out 2 solid stories/books per year.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
AdealwithGodbook.com and countrywesternbooks.com- also amazon.com/books
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Be patient and don’t expect this to be your livelihood. Write because you love to write. It is a very complicated vocation.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Don’t be disappointed if you don’t get a big New York City (Big 5) publisher to back you.
What are you reading now?
Tombstone
What’s next for you as a writer?
My books are now just hitting the stores and I love traveling and doing book signings.
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?
Probably a book or two on survival. A deal with God and A Mark Twain box set lol
