Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m an author of fantasy and dark fiction; and I have four books published with Hypothesis Press, a small New England publisher.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is Key 13: And Other Stories – a collection of my best stories. I just find inspiration everywhere. Scary and unusual stuff happens everywhere – everyday life and the crazy stuff from the daily news broadcast.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I just turn on the computer and type. It’s like the story writes itself – as if the characters already exist out there in the ether or in some other realm, and I’m just channeling it all somehow. Then I read it and I’m like, “Oh my God, did I just write all this stuff?”
What authors, or books have influenced you?
There are too many to mention. Stephen King, Fred Saberhagen, Tanya Huff, Rudyard Kipling, JRR Tolkien – I just love them all.
What are you working on now?
More short stories, which I also enjoy writing.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I just promote them everywhere and anywhere.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Proofread it very, very well before sending it in. And DON’T ever give up. Keep at it.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Just don’t give up, keep trying. It might take a long time to find a publisher, but keep trying.
What are you reading now?
I’m actually reading multiple books at the same time right now, going through each a chapter every night.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Just continue on with stories, and eventually plan my next novel.
What is your favorite book of all time?
I have too many to count, actually. Maybe the Grapes of Wrath, or any of Stephen King’s books.
