Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am the President & CEO of Upper Room Productions Inc. and work to produce Bible based media products to encourage spiritual growth such as DVDs, books and online media.
When I’m not at work, I can be found enjoying the great outdoors enjoying activities such as walking and cycling.
I have written 10 books.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The name of my latest book is called, The Complete Book of Obadiah Quiz Book: Over 20 Bible Study Questions Inside! (Books of the Bible Quiz Series 5)
This was inspired by the awesome message found in the Book of Obadiah: As you have done to others, so it will be done to you—and with even greater severity.
To me it’s a good reminder to always try to be good to other people, even if this isn’t always easy to accomplish.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Well, I usually chew a lot of gum when I’m working on a new book. Not sure how unusual that is though.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
The Holy Bible is my biggest influence. Not only does it hold the purpose for my life here on earth, but it’s also a wonderful guide on how to live life and love others from the teachings of Jesus.
What are you working on now?
I am currently working on the second edition of The Complete Book of Revelation Quiz Book: Over 400 Bible Study Questions Inside! (Books of the Bible Quiz Series 4) It focuses on the thought provoking Bible book Revelation, and the end time prophecies contained therein.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
When promoting I try to submit to as many websites as I can, and give people as much notice as I can. I don’t like to leave things til the last minute. A method I enjoy is giving books away for free for a limited time. I enjoy getting free things, so it’s nice to have something to give for free too!
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Patience is key. Don’t give up. Your efforts will result in some form of success.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Do to others what you would want them to do to you.
– Jesus speaking in Matthew 7:12
What are you reading now?
The Book of Revelation
What’s next for you as a writer?
My goal is to increase my catalog, and expand the genres I write in.
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?
Well I would have to say two would be Bibles: the King James Version and then a modern translation…probably The Amplified Bible. I would also bring The Swiss Family Robinson, and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn as I’ve always enjoyed those stories.
