Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I live in Upstate New York where the snow is legendary. The youngest nephew of our brood, who I lovingly refer to as ‘The Monster Child’, is my partner in crime. We enjoy feeding the ducks at a nearby park, going for a dip in the backyard pool or snowboarding down a popular mountainside. We are game for anything mischievous.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
ALTER BOYS was released on August 15, 2016 by Spume Publishing. It is the sequel to my first novel, ALTER EGO, which came out on April 15, 2016.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I get up around 7:00am, grab a cup of coffee and scurry inside my mancave to write. Not too unusual.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I very much enjoy John Grisham but my favored reading is autobiographies…especially of Old Hollywood.
What are you working on now?
ALTER GIRLS is in the editing stage and ALTER BOUND is waiting its turn. All four belong to my series entitled, THE DAVENPORT DECREES.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Twitter and Facebook are the preferred sites. My website heralds my novels.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Someone aspiring to be a new author needs to develop a thick hide. When reviews are unfavorable, just let them roll off your back; never allowing them to linger in your psyche.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
You cannot wait for inspiration to come. One must go after it with a club.
What are you reading now?
A biography on Marilyn Monroe.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Finishing my DAVENPORT DECREES series then writing some stand-alones with completely different characters.
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 Wonderful Wizard of Oz, any Cat in the Hats books and a juicy autobiography.
