~~~Author Interview~~~


What inspires you to write?
I believe my passion to write comes from the story I want to tell. When I find that bit of lighting in a bottle, the characters drive the mind, and then the fingers.




How important is a book cover?
Critical to me. For the last novel, I designed the cover, before writing the story. I always keep the tentative cover in plain view while writing.


Did you have favorite books as a child?
Jack London's 'Call Of The Wild' was a favorite.




If you were to write in a different genre, what would it be?

I just finished a western short story for Dusty Richard's next anthology. The subject has to have a bite that will drive me each day in my daydreams. Daydreams always help to speed a story along.   


Do you have current work in progress?
I do. The story is a modern adventure set against one of the environmental disasters man is creating.
