At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I started writing seriously about 2005. I’m in the IT industry and it’s very dry. It became an outlet for extremism in self denial I guess, sort of a way to release emotions.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
Tom Clancy, Clive Cussler, Steven King. Something mystery thriller. Doesn’t matter what genre. I do everything.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
Link is the bi-product of what was once a screenplay, edited over and over, now a novel and thrilling twist on the good versus evil battle. Research was a key component to this book, it proved difficult to find weapon systems, swear words, names, abbreviations, places, and events that never existed. This is a book for all that sci-fi readers in particular will really be thrilled to see. The unwritten problem with sci-fi is, you have to outdo “Star Trek”, “Star Wars”, and other sci-fi giants, which has the market on this picky genre. You have to come up with something they haven’t done, which is almost impossible, until now. This isn’t your normal twist on “The Time Machine”. If you’re a sci-fi follower, then you understand what it takes and appreciate the thought and care that went into this novel. This plotline makes it incredibly qualified to succeed. This paired with attention to key elements and quality details will make it the leader in the industry.
As the Earth shifts on its axis, mankind is caught in a war of survival and time. Imprisoned in this time war, Captain John Garrick and the N.S.T.E.A. Phoenix becomes a pawn between technology, humans, and what’s left of civilization.
However, no amount of careful planning can prepare the time jumpers for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. As the N.S.T.E.A seals a deal to deliver time technology to the notorious outlaw, Menser, Garrick plots to undermine the N.S.T.E.A. Technology becomes the enemy and time an illusion as Phoenix’s crew prepares for the inevitable – a fight to the finish. The future can be uncertain; then again, it could be the time jumpers last. Garrick doesn’t live by its rules, and he knows one thing is for sure: kill or be killed. Tick, tick, tick…time liners never die, they never leave.
