Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I grew up as a Jehovah’s Witness and ended up been a mercenary, that should tell you quite a bit!
I have written 7 short stories about my adventures, starting off at the time I signed up with Executive Outcomes, the first Private Military Company in the world. I was in the first 100 men to join them. From there I got sober, got a “normal” job and tried to fit in with society. Did not work. I then started liing a Gypsy like life style, moving from one odd job to another, covering the whole of Southern Africa. For 5 years I tried to stop the Rhino Poaching, training Game Rangers to become soldiers. All the while I keep notes, in my head, of all I see and the stranger people I meet.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Chronicles VII is the last of my written notes, I have another 4 in my head. I started writing to try and clear my own head, and the second Chronicles was written to try help other people that are like me.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I suppose keeping all the experiences in my head, for years, before writing them down, one shot, is a bit weird.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Steven King, not so much his writing but the forwards to his books!
What are you working on now?
I am getting the Chronicles from II to VII to an editor and ebook publisher, and trying to get Part I into the market. That done I will start on the last 4. Oh, then I have to go and “Research” in order to have new material. New adventures beckon. So
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
So far it would seem Facebook get the most response.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just sit down and do it, do not go back and check/correct every 5 minutes, just write. Later you can go over the whole document. You will surprise yourself.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Take it one day at a time.
What are you reading now?
An old Steven King Novel I found in my friends bookshelf, Bag of Bones.
What’s next for you as a writer?
New places to go. I have never left the African continent, maybe it is time.
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 AA’s Big Book
Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings
