Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m an avid reader and I write every day. My most recent book is called River Kill and it’s a mystery set Massachusetts. It’s the first book in a mystery series I’m developing. I’ve self-published several nonfiction books on Amazon as well.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
River Kill is my latest book, I’ve always been fascinated with mysteries and read quite a bit in the genre. I was inspired to write it by one of my favorite authors, William G. Tapply. He was my instructor at one time and was very encouraging and supportive.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I like to write first thing in the morning, while the house is quiet and before the day starts for everyone else. I also write in bursts of 30-45 minutes at a time, I find it’s effective for me.
