What inspires you to write?
I like a good story and enjoy the process of piecing together the plot, setting and characters. It’s a challenge, but rewarding when it comes together.
Tell us about your writing process.
I start with a basic plot and then add the main characters. The next step is research: I want to get the setting and any historical facts right. Then I start writing. After the first draft I go back and flesh out the characters and add texture to the settings. Finally, the painful part…revise, revise, revise!
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
Yes! The characters are always speaking to me. In fact they take over. Characters I had planned on being minor take on a bigger role and vice versa.
Who are your favorite authors?
John Krakauer, T.H. White, Larry McMurtry
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I decided to self-publish because I thought it was the most expeditious way to get Chasing Dragons out there.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
That’s a good question. It seems that there are many opportunities for Indie authors, but promotion and distribution remain major challenges. I’d say the jury is still out.
