Smashwords Interview

What do your fans mean to you?
It's important to me, that people reading my books for information absolutely get what they came for. I try to create systems that not only relate good quality information, but that are practical to implement, and easy to understand no matter if you are a beginner or expert, or somewhere in between.

I am known as being as passionate about teaching as I am about writing. So when someone takes the information in my book and uses it to further his or her own career, that is really satisfying.
What are you working on next?
A few projects. I am writing a second non-fiction book called How to Write Electrifying Scenes, which focuses on how to craft individual scenes at their highest level for both plot movement, emotion-generation, and professionalism.

I'm also working on an action/comedy screenplay and an original television pilot.
