Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I was born in the wonderful town of Lawrence Kansas to two very supportive and creative parents. My childhood was spent going on fantastic adventures with my father, and it was he who helped nurture my imagination into what it is today. Some of the best years of my life I spent thinking up new worlds with my father, driving around with him going over ideas and new characters. All that I want is for my stories to be read by the world, so that they might inspire others to write their own stories and to realize that inside of us all are infinite universes filled with infinite possibilities.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is called Ineffable, and I was inspired to write it by my father who has always been my inspiration. We sit and talk about ideas, characters, and imagine all kinds of appended worlds together.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Not too unusual, though I do often struggle with writers block and am easily distracted.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Douglas Adams, Asimov, Bradbury
What are you working on now?
Right now I am working on a post apocalyptic novel that follows a young man through a changed world full of danger, as he seeks to lead his people to a portal that will take them to paradise.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I am still very new to the author world so I wouldn’t know where to start answering that question!
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t give up. You will want to, and you will want to cry, and close your laptop or throw down your pen, but please don’t. Just take a deep breath and keep trying your hardest.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
My father told me long ago to never let anyone convince me I was less than the person I know I am inside.
What are you reading now?
My favorite book, Thanks for all the fish, my Douglas Adams.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Hopefully getting my story promoted and known, money was never important. However getting my story read was always my goal.
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?
Douglas Adam’s Hitchhikers guise to the galaxy, Ishmael, One flew over the cuckoo’s nest, and The great gatsby!
