Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I write novels full-time under the pen name R.J. Eastwood. Prior to turning to writing, I was a writer/director of motion pictures and TV productions. To date, I have published seven books – 4 non-fiction, 3 fiction.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The name of my latest novel is Midnight Black – The Purge. It is a suspense thriller. I thought it would be fun to take a man who has been imprisoned in total isolation for 15 years and return him to a society on the brink of collapse and finds himself embroiled in the wildest conspiracy he could have ever imagined.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t outline my books. I know the story, the characters, the beginning and the end. The rest just flows as I write. It’s more fun that way and I often surprise myself with twists and turns I had not anticipated.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Authors Lee Child, Cormac McCarthy, Steven King.
What are you working on now?
I am working on a new novel titled The White Prize, but that’s all I’ll say about it for now.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
My author website is http:www.robertjemeryauthor.com. I am heavily invested in social media – Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and a number of Facebook author groups and just about every other place I can easily promote.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t write about what might be trending, find you own unique story, give it you unique voice, then give yourself enough time to make it grate.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Hire an editor
What are you reading now?
Soyuz by Harry Millman
What’s next for you as a writer?
How about a vacation in Italy?
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?
A book of world maps to find my way off the Island would be a good start. Beyond that books Mark Twain, Lee Child, Steven King, and Cormac McCarthy
