Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I write paranormal, sci-fi, and fantasy romance. I have wanted to be a writer for as long as I can remember. I write what I enjoy in the hopes that others will enjoy it as well. I’ve always been drawn to the macabre. Vampires, werewolves, you name it. I’ve never written about the paranormal because it’s popular. I do it because that’s what I’m interested in. If the vampire fad ever passes, I’ll still be sitting here in my Dracula cape, getting my fang on.
I write erotic horror under the name T.K. Hardin.
As of right now (September 2015) I’ve written 35 books.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is the 4th installment in my Bound by Blood series. It was inspired by my love of vampires, mythology, and a need for adventure. I absolutely loved writing this series.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I can’t write to music like a lot of other people I know. I write well with horror movies playing in the background. I’ve written many stories while Johnny Depp strutted around in Sleepy Hallow. Ha. Ha.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
J. K. Rowling, for her wonderful imagination, and Dean Koontz for his vivid imagery. Every time I read a book of his, I swear it makes me a better writer.
What are you working on now?
I’m working on a 4 part series right now called “There’s No Place,” as in no place like home. It was inspired by my love of werewolves, and growing up in a small southern town.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’m still working on researching this. I’m always looking for ways to find new readers and spread the word.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t let anyone talk you out of it if this is what you really want to do. Also, don’t believe anyone who says it’s easy.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
An editor told me once that the very best advertisement is writing another good book. That has proved to be true and gotten me through a lot of stressful times. It reminded me to keep on pressing forward and things would work out.
What are you reading now?
Right now I’m reading a guide about how to write monsters.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Next? Hmmm. I’m probably going to start brainstorming ideas for 2017. I like to write ahead as much as possible.
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?
Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone, the first book in Dean Koontz’s Frankenstein series, and maybe and an installment or two of the Death Note manga.
