Featured Interview With Jeffrey G. Roberts
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was born in New York City, raised on Long Island, and spent my teen years in Miami and Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. I currently reside in Tucson, Arizona. I attended Northern Arizona University, where I received degrees in writing and American history. I write in the genres of science fiction, horror, fantasy, and comedy/fantasy. I’m an aerospace enthusiast and a lover of the planet Mars.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
My Mother was always a reader; never saw her without a book. My Father, too. And he was also a writer, for radio, after WW II. So I guess they were a great influence on me. I started writing seriously around 1978.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
My favorite authors? There are so many! Ray Bradbury, Arthur C. Clarke, Stephen King, James Thurber, Thornton Wilder. So many! I guess I’m inspired to a large extent by Douglas Adams and Ray Bradbury.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
This is its premise: What happens when a 22nd century doctor on sabbatical to Mars, suddenly finds himself – through terrorism – stranded 168 years and 150 million miles from loved ones? He is on a violent & primitive world – ours! How will he survive in modern-day Anchorage, Alaska? Moreover, how will he heal the sick using 2181 medical science, without risking exposure of his true identity? But while he dreams of someday returning to his own time, and family, he has no choice; for he is – THE HEALER.
