I started writing late in life after being laid off from the energy industry. I have written one novel, 327 Days, and one short story, Lust & Longing.

327 Days. I was inspired by a dream. A good portion of the book takes place in the Astral Plane, where anything can happen.

Not that I’m aware of, but I’m not certain of the average writer’s habits.

George R.R. Martin and R.A. Salvatore
What are you working on now?
I will soon be working on a second short horror story about the perils of greed.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’m new to this. So, I’m not sure what works yet.

Never give up. Try to write every day, even if only a sentence or two.

See above.

I read about nine books at a time, mostly nonfiction. The two fiction books are Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and Of Fire and Night by Kevin J. Anderson.
