Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’ve written about eight, but only three are published: The Eclipse Theater, Eternity, and Duality.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
I’m writing a period piece called The Redhead Murders, which is based off true events. My latest published book is titled Duality, which is based off a bus accident where two college students Laura Van Ryn and Whitney Cerak had their identities mixed up. Everyone thought the dead one was Whitney and that Laura was alive, but it was the other way around.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Maybe it’s not a habit, but even if I write 5,000 words a day I still feel guilty that I haven’t written enough.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Stephen King, Ira Levin, William Peter Blatty.
What are you working on now?
The Redhead Murders, and I think next will be 100 Days Til Halloween.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
YouTube by far.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Practice not using dialogue tags, it helps you convey who’s who and helps give your characters their own voice, as well as helps you focus on the other stuff going on. Such as: Nick looked up from his desk. “What’s bangin?”
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Don’t plot.
What are you reading now?
Misery, Lord of The Flies.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Hoping to do this full time, but baby steps. I’m on pace to make $300-350 for the year total between three books. That’s the sad reality for most of us self publishing, but it doesn’t have to be. My next goal is to make $1000 a year, then hopefully get to the place where I make $1000-2000 a month.
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?
Rosemary’s Baby, which is my favorite novel, then I’d probably bring with me 3 novels I’ve never read, just so I’m entertained. I don’t typically like to reread, but I’d bring along my favorite just so I know I’d have at least one good book.
