Author Interview:
What inspired you to become a writer?
Over about 30 years, I submitted articles to publications like Redbook, Readers Digest and Twilight Zone magazines. In 2011 I decided to try my hand at writing a novel. The rest is history because I now have authored true crime, young adult, comedy and cookbooks.
What did you do before you became a published author?
I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering but my most recent employment was as CEO of an Information Technology company. I am now retired and writing fills my need to be active.
Is there anything you found particularly challenging about writing?
A long time ago, someone told me to just put my fingers on the keys and start typing; not caring about the output. I have found that sometimes I cannot come up with anything to write about, and this trick works every time.
Who are your cover designers?
I design every cover for my books. I have a background in promotion and feel this is a talent that suits me well at this time.
What authors are your inspiration?
I like to read a lot of different authors. John Grisham and Robert R. McGammon are two of my favorites. I also read Patricia Cromwell, James Patterson and Nora Roberts.
What advice would you give any newbie author or anyone that wants to pick up writing?
JUST START. Everything can be fixed at a later date, but that means nothing, if you don’t have anything to work with. Also, you have to write something everyday. It can be a story outline, a paragraph or several chapters; but you need to start first.
