Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
In 2014 I was finally released from a Latin American prison after spending two years in prison on a charge of witchcraft which was eventually dismissed and thrown out of court. But those two years in that shitty hell hole prison ‘La Joya’ certainly did a number on my mental and physical health, that is why it has taken me so long to write this book and hopefully my last, but this nightmare still lives on to this day so who knows, with gods blessing this will be the final chapter and I can move on to live my life with some peace.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My book is called Building Six, why Building Six ? This was the building where you come to die and no one gives a toss, unless you had some money in your pocket before you pass on.
This is place were infections eat you and your bed fellows are convicted 20 year killers and drug lords
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Writing habits, I certainly claim to be no writer and will never be a prolific author.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Arthur Porter book ‘The man behind the bow tie’ – another is ‘The Jolly Roger Social Club’
What are you working on now?
I am working on trying to get myself back to normal then working as hard as I can to be a superman to my kids.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Fiver – Amazon
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Do not go to the Republic of Panama unless you need inspiration to write your own book, my suggestion is go ‘Forrest’ don’t stop, not even for a cruse through the Panama canal.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“I told you so”
What are you reading now?
United Nations ‘Rights of a Child’ and the procedures I have to follow to get my boy, plus reading the Inter-American court of human rights application procedure.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I am a carer looking after my elderly mother that in its self is a full time job, but I still have many legal cases to tidy up regarding the torture and ill treatment I was subjected to by the ones charged with my care in the Republic of Panama.
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?
No books on my desert island just BBQ fishing a pair of shorts and thinking of how lucky I was to have survived my ordeal, I came so close to not having this book to share.
