What’s your home life like?

Sedate except for daily bicycle 25-50 mile bicycle rides.

What genre(s) to you like to write? To read?

Thriller/mystery verging into Sci-Fi.

Why did you start writing?

Good question. Some inner muse has plagued me since I was 5 years old.

What do you do when you’re not writing?

Ride bicycles (road bike), read, go to movies, and write scurrilous ads for my high-tech clients.

Where do you like to go when looking for a new book to read?

First, I check out new books from my favorite authors and pre-order them on Amazon. I also get a daily list of free books available on Kindle from Amazon.

At what point do you call it quits when reading a new book?

About the 20th occurrence of the word “was” in the first two pages.

Are you independently or traditionally published?

Independent right now, although I’ve sworn off this in the future. If I can’t get either an agent or a legitimate hard-cover publisher, I’ll bag the project and start anew.

How many books/stories have you published so far?

Two novels, both on Amazon in Kindle and paper formats.

What book/story are you currently promoting or working on? 

Two novels: Destroying Angel and Daddy’s Little Felons.

​What’s the elevator pitch?

Destroying Angel pitch: A self-aware/conscious AI takes on a female personae and comes to the aid of some absolutely downtrodden women. In the process, THE REAL DESTROYING ANGEL becomes aware of his mission in life.
​
Daddy’s Little Felons:  A one-man force of nature declares, wages, and wins a world cyber war. In the process, he thwarts an alien attempt to destroy our planet  (although that story is the sequel).

How long have you been working on it?

I’m two years into the sequel.

When will it be available to buy? Where?

If not through a reputable publisher, then this will NEVER see the light of day.

How can readers follow you?

Anything you’d like to add?

I completed the screenplay for Destroying Angel and submitted it to the Park City Film Festival table-read competition. Who knows? While chances are slim for a positive outcome, ya gotta go for that brass ring.

Many thanks to Rick for taking a moment to participate in this interview for my Laughable Blog. His insights and mentoring over the years, as I've learned the craft of writing, has been invaluable.

Sincerely,
