IN THE AUTHOR’S WORDS

Author interview

Interview submitted .

What inspired you to start writing?

A close approximation is from filmmaker Walter Hill paraphrasing Samuel Johnson ‘We come to the arena uncalled, to seek our fortune and hazard disgrace. That’s the game, those are the rules."

Who are some of your favorite authors and books?

The Lonesome Dove series by Larry McMurtry, The Asia Saga by James Clavell, Factotum by Charles Bukowski

What would you like to tell readers who have just discovered your books, but haven't read one yet?

They are quick reads and easy to digest.

Who is the favorite character you created, and how did they come into being?

One of my favorite characters is McGill, an ex-cop/current PI who operates out of a diner. I wanted to base a character on Nero Wolf, who rarely if ever left a specific location. I imagined it would be interesting to write about someone who spent their whole day at a diner and ate a ton of pancakes, bacon, and drank coffee.

What are your future plans as a writer?

To keep writing until I can't anymore. Thankfully, I've plenty of stories to tell.
