Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Well, first off, I’ve written two books now, both for The Dreams of Sara Knight series. Book two is due to be released on 11/11/13.
As for me, I’ve been studying life’s mysteries for a long time now. That would be things like universal law, or what some would call cause and effect, the subconscious, the power of intention, the different states of mind which can be partially looked at through the brain wave patterns of delta, theta, alpha, and beta, and I could go on and on. Each of these can be subdivided and looked at from various angles. For example: the powers of the subconscious can looked at through hypnosis, the hypnagogic state, where many of the famous people of science and art got their inspiration, through healing and the placebo effect, etc. To sum it all up quickly, through these years of study and application, I’ve come to a place where I actually live a better, richer life, with expanding joy and expanding beauty as the result. Well, that’s why I write, to reveal some of life’s mysteries, and to present the potential for a human life. I use a lot of real examples in my books, too.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
That would be book two of The Dreams of Sara Knight series, and it’s called Eight Days of Transformation. This whole series is inspired by a desire to reveal some of the highest aspects of human potential; which aren’t talked about much in main stream media. We really are amazing beings, and once someone gets a glimpse of some of the things that people have accomplished by daring to be extraordinary, well, it opens up a whole new world to them.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Actually, some of the things I put in my books have come to me from the hypnagogic state. There’s a place right between being awake and sleeping where magic happens. Anyone that researches this will learn some amazing things. I even reveal some things about it in my books. For me, many times, I would be in that place where the veil is thinnest, get an inspiration, and have to get up and write it down before I forget it. It’s not only helpful, but it’s quite fun to have these moments.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
There’s so many. I’ve read hundreds of books, mostly non-fiction, that deal with these subjects. I guess some of the early ones I read should get the credit for peeking my interest in this area. One that comes to mind would be the series by Carlos Castaneda, which started out with The Teachings of Don Juan. I also studied the life of Edgar Cayce quite a bit, and there were many different authors that wrote about him. So, those were a couple of the ones that influenced me many years ago.
What are you working on now?
I’m actually working on a different kind of project right now. It’s called Virtual Treasure Hunt. I will be hiding $500, $300, $200, and $100 on the internet. Other people have contributed items like clothing, jewelry, and art to name a few. For $5, people can enter and have a chance to go on a real treasure hunt. It takes place on 11/30/13. If anyone one is interested they can go to: virtualtreasurehunt.wordpress.com for more details. The website should be online by 11/7/13. It’ll be a lot of fun, and people just may learn a few things along the way.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I think the best method just started. I made Changed Forever free. That’s book one of The Dreams of Sara Knight series. I want to give everyone the opportunity to take a look and see if this series is something that interests them. Hopefully, many will like what they find, and give me a reason to keep the series going for a long time.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Enjoy the moment! Be in the moment! Savor the moment! Live in the moment!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Live in the moment! Oh, I just said that. Can I use the same answer for two questions? Just kidding.
As far as writing goes, write about what you know.
What are you reading now?
I haven’t actually started it yet, but the next book I want to read is Zero Point. It’s by an amazing Hawaiian mystic.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I plan on keeping The Dreams of Sara Knight going for a while, but I do have another project coming up shortly. It will be a non-fiction book which will be more like a journal of an experiment I will be conducting. That’s about all I’ll reveal right now.
What is your favorite book of all time?
Since nothing comes to mind right away, I don’t think I have one that would be classified that way. I’ve read so many really beautiful books. I do like ones that inspire me and teach me at the same time, so I’ll say that’s my favorite type of book of all time.
