Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a history teacher and a Kung Fu master. I came up with the story “I call him – HIM” when I was a teenager but I failed miserably to put pen to paper. It took me nearly forty years to make a second attempt. This time the words flowed unrestrained. I live in Harlingen Texas with the love of my life Diana and our four children.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
“I call him HIM” is the first book I’ve published but it’s part of a trilogy. As a child I went to Catholic school and attended church every day. Hearing about the struggle between good and evil inspired me to come up with the story I’ve written.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t think so.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Edgar Rice Burroughs was the first author I read as a child, and I devoured all of his books. As I got older I started to read Stephen King, Tom Clancy, and R.A. Salvatore. I’ve read other authors but those are the main ones that influenced me.
What are you working on now?
I’m writing the last book of the “I call him HIM” trilogy. Hopefully, the second book “The Angel of Death” will be out by the end of the year.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I haven’t had much luck with promoting my book on any platforms. So far, the best method has been word of mouth.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Learn about marketing and build up a following before you publish. You can be the greatest author in the world and not make a dime without marketing.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
That came from my father. He said to never give up and always work hard.
What are you reading now?
Currently, I’m reading “They came from Up” It’s pretty good.
What’s next for you as a writer?
After the trilogy is finished, I would like to create some solo novels with some of the side characters from the books.
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?
I would want some books on survival, farming, fishing etc. Otherwise I’ll end up dead.
