Paul Russell Parker III

I write late at night because I have a day job and I have a young family. I have to make time after work to spend time with the family, so I sacrifice sleep. I also have to promote and advertise my books on a daily basis, so that takes up a lot of my free time as well.

I also have different things to do throughout the year. During the school year, I take my kids to their extra curricular activities after school and during the weekends. I watch football during the season, and play fantasy football. I try to squeeze in some golf, and I fish on the coast. I also bring the family on small trips around our State and local area throughout the year.

I'm pretty busy on a daily basis, so I'm pretty happy that I can get some writing done at all.

I don't limit myself to only traditionally published books, or only self published books. What I usually do is perform keyword searches on subjects I want to read about at that time. Then I read the blurbs of the books that come up, and decide if I want to read the book or not. Sometimes people will recommend an ebook to read. I may even look for an ebook copy of a book that was turned into a movie thats' about to come out. For the most part though, I do random searches, and read whatever catches my eye.
