What inspires you to write?
Being able to share my knowledge or a story with other people and that they will actually gain from it – whether it be learning something from me or simply enjoying themselves and passing the time. That is what inspires me to write.

Tell us about your writing process.
I don’t plan things out. I merely sit down and start writing, letting whatever comes come. Sometimes it is slow going and I stop and think a lot while other times I lose track of the time and next thing I know I’ve written a dozen pages without a missing a beat.

Who are your favorite authors?
Stephen King is my favorite author. I’d be hard pressed to name any book of his I didn’t thoroughly enjoy reading. I also like Jeff Lindsay’s Dexter books.

How did you decide how to publish your books?
I decided to self publish Nerd Psychology and Creating an Online Roleplaying Game because I thought it would be the easiest. I didn’t know much about the publishing industry and it seemed so complicated, self publishing was a lot more appealing. My two books have a somewhat narrow audience so they would be hard to pitch to publishers.

What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I think it will move more towards self publishing over time. Like I said, it’s easier so it has a wider appeal. I feel like self publishing has lost some of the stigma it initially had and has become more accepted over the years.

What genres do you write?
non-fiction

What formats are your books in?
eBook, Print
