Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a debut author, although I have been writing for over ten years. The genres I like to write in are science fiction, paranormal and mystical with a huge does of action-adventure tossed in
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Passage is the title of the work.
It comes from a love of Native American cultures combining this with the many cultures I have met during my travels. I thought I would blend these many stories I have heard as a child into one work. Bringing the rich heritage of the native peoples in a novel that already has several five-star ratings on amazon was both an honor and my pleasure.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
SEveral, I binge-write, then don’t write for days on end? I also have a unique problem with my writing every few words I capitalize both letters of a certain SEntence? < like that!
Inspiration, from everywhere, I see an ad on tv I write, I see a coyote in my field, It sparks something in me. Science fiction junkie, yup me? Everything leads to something else in writing.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Issac Asimov, Stephen King, Brahm Stoker, and of course Clive Cussler. However, the one thing that most influenced me was as a boy growing into manhood. The stories my Grandfather would tell night after night over the fire in the woods. He’s been gone now these many years, but that above all else influences me to this day.
What are you working on now?
Several works all at the same time, I write funny like that?
A.I. – A work on what if it’s not what you think it is?
