Q: Do you have any quirks or rituals for writing?
A: Not sure if you would call it a quirk or insanity. I get up at 5:00 in the morning most weekends and fuel myself with a few quarts of coffee and then type away on my laptop until the kids wake up three or four hours later.
Q: Do you plan on publishing more in the future?
A: Definitely. I’m currently in the rewrite stage of a sequel to the short story “Prominent Couple Slain” from Lighting the Dark Side called DEAD of KNIGHT—A Jack Staal Mystery. It should be available by Christmas 2009—fingers crossed. I enjoy the Detective Jack Staal character and already have two sequels outlined.
Another completed novel manuscript is about an average family man and how he and his wife deal with his depression and addiction following the sudden tragic loss of his eyesight. Falling Down the Hole is my 2010 project and I dream about it becoming my first book published by a traditional publisher.
Q: Thank you for this interview. Is there anything else you would like to mention?
A: Self-published writers and their books often get a bad rap. There are many wonderful, well-written books out there by self-published and unknown authors, and I invite readers of Divine Caroline to give them a chance.
Thanks again for having me here.
