Geri: Is writing a passion, a stress-reliever, or both? Jon: Writing is a passion. I tend to write best under stressful situations. A good friend once accused me of seeking to murder him, and filed charges on me. During the pendency of the suit, I vowed to write everyday. I managed to finish a 60,000 word, rough draft, during the seven weeks it took to get the suit dismissed. I vowed to never publish it, or even look at it again, until after that person died. Let's just say, I am currently revising the manuscript. 2. Geri: Do you write everyday? Jon: Only in the winter! 3. Geri: How many book-signings have you been to? Jon: I've done several hundred book-signings all over America. I've been from El Paso to Ithaca. 4. Geri: How do you promote your book? Jon: Sign, sign, sign! 5. Geri: Have you written books in different genres? Jon: All my books are about lawyers. However, I wouldn't call them all legal thrillers. I consider the latest book to be a dark comedy. 6. Geri: Do you plan on writing a book every year? Jon: I have the next three books written. I plan to take a break on fiction. 7. Geri: What has inspired you the most to write? Jon: Being stuck in Roswell, New Mexico, with nothing to do but wait to get abducted. 8. Geri: What factors place you in the comfort zone while writing? Jon: I need a Starbucks, doubleshot expresso light in a can. Also, I need darkness, and quiet! 9. Geri: Have you written a series, or a sequel for one title? Jon: My books all have continuing characters. My characters do grow older. Luna was pregnant at the end of VOLCANO VERDICT, her daughter is now seven, and a character of her own. 10. Geri: After having one book published, do you now find it easier to write? Jon: Sometimes! On the other hand, I have to make sure that I am consistent with the prior books. Geri: Thank you very much for today's interview. It is an honor, and a great pleasure indeed! Jon: Your welcome, it was enjoyable!
