Fans, followers, or readers are the life blood of my work. Without them, any book written, not only by myself, but by any author, would sit in obscurity and never see the light of day. Every Author needs to know in some way he, or she, has people who want to read his or her books. Fans give the author the ability to go on writing and they justify the long months of work that goes into their finished books.
To be quite honest, I'm a private sort of person and I don't play a lot on the social media sites. But on the other hand as well, if a Reader or Fan asked me questions, I would respond to them and try to satisfy their questions.

I currently have only two books out in a series called the Wade Ferris Chronicles. (Shadow Warrior and Shadow Warrior- Retribution). I'm currently working on the third one in the series which I hope will be out by the end of this year. This one, I'm not sure just yet may be the last one of the series. if not, the following one will definitely be. The Wade Ferris Chronicles will however continue for at least another two or three books beyond that.

I'm a big fan of Fantasy books as well as adventures. Terry Brooks, Terry Goodkind and of course David Eddings,, in fact any fantasy author who's story or series catches my interest. As for adventure stories, I have to say the Clive Cussler is at the top of the list followed by Dan Brown. Again if a story catches my attention I will read it. .

LOL My Cats! But seriously, I need to be working on my writing. I like the feeling first thing in the morning of sitting and letting the words flow along with the coffee. At that time of the day, your mind is fresh and everything seems to come easier. Later on in the day I will go back over what was written and edit it. I need to be able to see and feel the story. If I cant do that, no matter how good it appears I will cut it out and massage what is left. Once that is done, it's back to writing again, and usually more coffee.

Usually worrying about how much I could have written during that time. I spend way too many hours in a day sitting in front of the computer. I try to walk after dinner for a couple of hours. Doing that helps clear my head, plus I get the exercise.

In all truth, I have maybe ten ebooks. I'm still a little old fashioned and I prefer to be able to hold a printed edition. I like the feel of real books. It's harder for us older folks to focus on readers of any size especially when you are in front of a computer for 12 or so hours a day. Yeah! I can hear y'all screaming at me.

Yes I do. That was a really long time ago. Longer than I care to remember. It was about 5th grade. My teacher wanted a 500 word essay. All I know is it ended up filling 2.5 exercise books. Even at that age I couldn't write just 500 words if my life depended on it.
I have to give credit to my teacher back then for allowing me to actually finish the story.

LMAO A mess! I have two desks the messy one holds a full sized workstation and the other is a laptop stand that I use for writing. I do all my writing on a laptop, so if I go anywhere I can take it with me.

I grew up in New Zealand and came to the US in 1998. This place has been my home since that time. I'm as much an American as any person born here As for my years in NZ, and its influence on my writing? I really don't think it had much at all. NZ is not that much different in terms of the style of living. My series of books are set in NZ simply because the original story line was first written there. I will let you in on a little secret here. The original manuscript for the Wade Ferris Chronicles was written over 40 years ago and shelved.

I knew this question was coming up. As I just stated in the last question The Wade Ferris Chronicles was originally written in 1978 through 1984 and shelved. I started writing again seriously about five years ago as a ghost writer and as an editor. I brushed off the cobwebs and evicted the spiders off the original manuscript only 2 years ago when I started writing for myself again.

Good question. A lot of it has to do with the horror stories of publishers wanting to hold the rights to books they publish. Also the increasing costs to an author who wants to get published by a traditional publishing house. Most authors dream of a Publisher wanting to pick up their work but keep getting rejection slips. I had a drawer full of them to prove it. More and more Indie authors are hitting the best seller lists today than ever before so the tide is slowly turning and the odds for indie authors is getting better.
