Tell me a about yourself. What got
you started in writing?
I was working as a nurse and my co-workers would come
over to the area where I was working and a group of us would talk about several
of topics. It was much like The View or Talk on T.V. One day I said we should
all write a book because we all have opinions that other people would love to
hear. They declined on writing a book, but I didn't.
That year I wrote a horrible book called
“Nursing Love”. It was a relationship book. I dedicated it to my wife. I sold
each one by hand over a period of time. It was years ago before all of this new
technology.
How and where do you write? Do you prefer a laptop or do you prefer writing
freehand?
I prefer the laptop. Although
I will write notes and crumble them into my pockets for later use.
What's your favorite part about
writing? Your least favorite part about writing?
Writing is a time consuming process and I
feel that I have a little amount of time. So, I always feel rushed when I write. But I enjoy getting it out and having the satisfaction of having a
completed work.
How do you come up with your
characters? Why would readers want to get to know them?
The characters that I make are real life
characters, that are always placed into a horrible situation or paradigm. I think people can relate to them because they have experienced what
I am writing about and want a resolution or answer that can explain
something in their own lives.
What types of marketing do you do
to promote your writing?
I write an e-book then I collaborate with a narrator
and convert it to an audio book to make a synergistic effect. I also am on
Facebook groups and Google + communities.
How do you schedule your writing
time? When do you write?
I write at anytime that an idea comes to mind and will
continually work on it in between life. I have a family of professionals and
children with activities.
Do you have a project on the back burner? Tell me about it.
I am creating an e-book and audiobook magazine
(www.ebookandaudiobookmagazine.com) which will focus on authors and
narrators.
My main focus is to show
listeners and readers that may not know theses authors and expand their
community by giving them a different platform to promote and discuss their
works. The e-magazine will also share information like best practices or
tips on writing and narrating.
What would you tell a beginning
writer who wants to publish but doesn't believe he/she has enough talent?
Everyone starts at the beginning; everyone has a voice and
everyone an opinion. So
just write.
