Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a male romance author with a love of wine, women, whiskey and cigars, who enjoys steamy paranormal romance novels, among other things. I’ve written and published over 65+ titles, but most have been pulled from the now defunct publishers and will be re-released, alongside new material starting in Summer of 2022.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Paula’s Craving is my short erotic romance tale. It’s a rewrite of the first romance novel I never finished when I was in high school. Paula, this beautiful latina girl I had a crush on back then was the inspiration.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
None that I can think of. I write, listen to death metal at a loud volume, drink tea (usually Pu Erh or Yerba Mate), wash, rinse, repeat?
What authors, or books have influenced you?
JR Ward. (Black Dagger Brotherhood)
Christine Feehan
Nora Roberts (Her PNR stuff)
Tiffany Reisz (Original Sinners, thank you Kingsley!)
Sherrilyn Kenyon
Laurell K. Hamilton
What are you working on now?
The second full length Nights of Lust story in what should be a trilogy featuring sexy vampires, stoic but passionate heroes and a hell of a lot of action!
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
AMZN Ads
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Grow a thick skin.
Write what you WANT.
Don’t listen to haters.
Grow a thick skin.
Learn to take rejection as a lesson
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
STFU and write
What are you reading now?
Sadly, nothing at the moment.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I have the third and final book in my Covenant of Wolves/Protectors series to write. Imagine if Faery looked more like a scene out of Terminator 2: Judgment day, rather than the magical kingdom we tend to think of it as. Then, bring in some werewolves and fae to take down a regime ruled by cybernetics, while fighting their internal passions.
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?
Think and Grow Rich
Original Sinners series
Black Dagger Brotherhood series (I know, not 3 or four books!)
