1: What is the most productive
time of the day for you to write?
I’m forced to work in the
evenings because I work a fulltime day job as well. Other than that, I really have no preference.
2: Do you start your projects
writing with paper and pen or is it all on the computer?
I keep a notebook with a rough
outline of the story. The rest of
my writing time is spent plugging away on the computer.
3: What do you draw inspiration
from?
My stories are inspired by
government corruption, secrecy and classic dystopian fiction: 1984, A Clockwork Orange, Brave New
World.
4: Do you set goals for yourself when you sit down
to write such as word count? I
generally try to type two pages a day.
5: Are you a published or a self
published author and how do you come up with your cover art?
I am self-published through
Kindle, Nook and Amazon. The cover
art is the result of months of sleepless nights! J
6: What drives you to choose the
career of being a writer?
The thrill of sharing, writing and delivering ideas to the
masses.
7: Do you own an ebook reading
device?
I don’t. I’m more of a paperback
kind of guy.
8: Who are some of your favorite
authors and What are you reading now? As mentioned, I’m a big of classic
dystopian fiction. George Orwell and Anthony Burgess are among my favorites.
9: What do you think of book
trailers and do you have any plans to have any?
I think book trailers are cool,
though I’m not sure how effective they are at selling books. I do have one on
You-Tube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4s6uvJ3gFrk
10: How did you come up with the
title of your latest book?
My novel, The Device, is based on a mysterious object the
main character discovers while hiking in Colorado. Because the novel centers on the object, it only seemed
fitting to title the novel “The Device”.
11: What are you working on now
that you can talk about?
No big plans at the present. I’m spending my free time
promoting The Device.
