Interview With Author TR Davis
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a former tech guru and food photographer. I’ve published 3 books (the 3rd and last in my series, Payback, goes live March 1!).
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Payback is my most recent work, inspired by ancient tablets relating the Epic of Gilgamesh. I write about how myths and stories have roots in real life, and how my memory gene in the series sheds light on the origins of a major religion (or three).
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I sometimes start at the end and work backwards.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Shae Mills (my friend and mentor), Stephen King, J. Deaver, John Scalzi, and so many others who create entire worlds with words.
What are you working on now?
I can’t say, but it definitely has poultry in it. And not in a small way.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
My own, trdavisbooks.com
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write every day if you can, even if the words aren’t coming the way you want. Write and write, and then write some more.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Don’t buy toothpaste from a dollar store.
What are you reading now?
I am re-reading the Percy Jackson series for fun.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I have a few WIPs that I hope to see this year or next as finished books. I may look at audiobook publishing as well.
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?
Old Man Army, The Stand, Ribus 7
