What's the story behind your latest book?
As a young father I coached a variety of sports teams my boys and daughter were a part of. Whether it was a parent of one of our team members, or of an opposing team, I regularly encountered aggressive, if not borderline abusive parents.
I witnessed the pressure parents like this put on their child.
The idea of parents pressuring their young athletes grew inside me until the idea for Giants Rising emerged.
What motivated you to become an indie author?
I truly enjoy writing. For years I wrote freely. Most of it was awful, but I loved doing it. The only thing I would share with others were my story ideas. They always received very favorable comments.
There is no question that the process of indie publishing is extremely challenging. Once those hurdles are cleared the real challenge is offering your words to an unknown audience and waiting for them to weigh in on your efforts.
It can be thrilling to allow yourself to be so vulnerable.
