Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
This is my first book, but my fingers have been associated with plenty of social media posts over the years.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Legal Marketing Straight Talk Presents: Solving the Puzzle: Online Marketing for Attorneys. Inspiration came from seeing attorneys and law firms literally ripped off by marketing agencies for years.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I wouldn’t say my writing is a habit. Though headphones and music is a must. It allows my brain to function to where I can even write at all. The better they sound, the less distracting it can be, which is why I love my Apple AirPods Max Pros.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
With this subject matter, literally none. I didn’t want to be influenced in any way actually.
What are you working on now?
It’s the summer which I like to work a light schedule, so not much at the moment.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Word of mouth and gorilla marketing to your target demographic. There is no “best”. Best comes when you do as much of the aforementioned as possible.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just write and keep writing about something you care about.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.
What are you reading now?
Book wise, nothing. I know I am so boring.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Not too sure actually. This may be a one off. I might do a deeper dive into the world of family law marketing in specific next time.
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?
