At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
As a child I loved reading. I think I was probably eight when I first really fell in love with reading and writing.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
My favorite authors? That’s a tough one. J.D. Salinger, Aldous Huxley, George Orwell, Edgar Allan Poe, Hugh Howey, Dan Brown. I’m all over the place.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
It’s about a guy named Larry. He appears like any other ordinary guy out there. He’s nice, polite, professional…but, inside he really dislikes everyone. Everything gets on his nerves. He’s just too nervous or content to shake anything up or change the status quo. This book gets inside his mind. It explores what he’s thinking and it is disturbing to say the least. I think everyone can relate to it. While the book is over the top it really appeals to that part of everyone they don’t want to admit is true. Even the nicest people think bad things. Whether it’s in traffic or at work. Something will get under their skin and just want to slap someone. They’d never admit it, but it’s true.
