Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m an active Sci-Fi author. At the current time, I have over 20 books on Amazon and 15 Audiobooks on Audible. Even though my main series is in the Post-Apocalyptic genre, I write positive stories. I have other books and short stories that cover many Sci-Fi subjects, I enjoy Sci-Fi with a twist.
I was an Air Force pilot for 10 years, followed by a successful career in Aerospace. My degrees are in Aeronautical Engineering, and I enjoy the logical use of technology in my stories.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
“Earth II – Emergence” This is the sixth book in a planned seven-book series. I enjoy the storyline of a good and evil computer with humanity put in a difficult position.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I’m a binge writer, and when I get going I work full-time until it’s done.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
All of the great Sci-Fi authors, such as Clarke, Asimov, and Heinlein. I like the classic approach to Sci-Fi and try to write in that style.
What are you working on now?
Three new books and audiobooks. Aside from the seventh book in the Virus/Earth II series I’m also writing an expansion of one of my short stories and an interesting story about a group of high-school students.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Still looking for one. So far, the best way to sell books is to publish new ones.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write because you enjoy it. Write so that you have fun, don’t worry about creating a story just to sell it.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Write, write, write – then edit.
