Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
My name is Paul Neuhaus. I’m a writer, artist and photographer who lives in Southern California. To date, I’ve written three books although my focus is now on the Quinn Henaghan series–the first of which I published on April 16th, 2018.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Company Town is the first book in the Quinn Henaghan Chronicles. It’s an Urban Fantasy story in which a young Hollywood assistant learns she has significant magical powers. Unfortunately, she also learns she’s been put between a rock and a hard place. She must fight a demon who’s been lording over Los Angeles for nearly a century.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Nope. The only habit you need is to sit down in front of the keyboard every single day. There’s no magic involved.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I’m all over the place. Tolkien, Fitzgerald, Vonnegut, Robbins (Tom), to name just a few!
What are you working on now?
I’m completing books 2 & 3 of the Quinn Henaghan Chronicles with the expectation of releasing them roughly thirty days apart.
After that, I’m planning a Space Opera trilogy.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’m still new at this game. Ask me again in a year!
Do you have any advice for new authors?
As much as I hate to say it, set yourself a daily word count. Mine if 4000 words and I produce that amount seven days a week.
Also, just know that your first draft will be terrible. But that’s kind of the point. You can’t get in there and chip away at it if you don’t have that first draft.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Don’t eat the yellow snow.
What are you reading now?
I’ve been very tied up in the launch of Company Town. I’m ready to take a little break and read a novel or two!
What’s next for you as a writer?
I’m treating this as a job (which it is). All I want to do is keep plugging away.
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?
The Great Gatsby, The Lord of the Rings and How to Get Off a Desert Island in Three Easy Steps.
