Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
This is the first book that I’ve written. Fortunately, I have a day job. Unfortunately, it has a habit of getting in the way of my writing. My day job is running a manufacturing company that makes medical and plumbing products primarily for the bariatric (large people) market and the disabled market.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is called “False Pretenses” and it was inspired primarily by the events surrounding the Iraq war.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t think so, but what’s normal to one person may seem unusual to someone else.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I really enjoy thrillers, and the authors that I have read most recently are Daniel Silva, Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, and Lee Child
What are you working on now?
A crime thriller
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I have a book publicist, because along with trying to write my next novel I have that pesky day job that I alluded to earlier.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Keep writing and stick with it to the end. It’s very gratifying to see your book get published.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
That’s a broad question. One piece of advice that really sticks out in my mind though came from a former girlfriend’s father. We were talking about what I wanted to do when I got out of college and I said that I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. He replied that I didn’t have to decide on what I wanted to do for the rest of my life, only for the next few years. I could always change my mind. I felt a great weight lift from my shoulders when he said that, and I’ve since changed my mind and direction many times.
What are you reading now?
Stuart Woods’s Stone Barrington series.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I’m currently writing a crime thriller, and I have a few others that I want to write. Again, it’s just a matter of finding the time to write.
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?
The Da Vinci Code, War and Peace, and a book on raft building and navigation.
