Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’ve written three novels and several short stories that are published on Medium.com.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book, Introspectors, was inspired when I began thinking about how mind reading would affect your life. It could make life easy, or it could drive you crazy. How would you deal with knowing what all of your friends and lovers were thinking?
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Once I’ve created my characters, I can place them in a scene and let them surprise me. Good characters can write the book themselves. I just have to follow them around and take notes.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
When I was young, I read all of the Hardy Boys books. I’ve always enjoyed books that can deliver a little humor in even the darkest of moments.
What are you working on now?
I have a sci-fi book that needs an ending. However, I think I’ll work on a sequel to Introspectors. I love the characters and can’t wait until their next adventure.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’m still in the evaluation stage of several sites.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Get some good alpha and beta readers. I’ve found great resources at scribophile.com.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Don’t eat yellow snow.
What are you reading now?
I’m enjoying A Gentleman in Moscow.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I’d like to work on a series for Introspectors.
