What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I have loved short story collections and anthologies since I was a kid; they have given me a chance to discover many new authors over the years.
I’ve been writing short stories for years now and I wanted to put a collection together. A few of these stories are older and have been published in magazines before, but a few of them are brand new.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Most of the time an idea just hits me for a story. I see the beginning and as I let it turn over in my mind for a while, occasionally writing down notes, the characters become more and more alive to me.
About the Author:
I’ve been writing since the second grade when my teacher called my parents in for a conference because the ghost story I’d written had her a little concerned. By the time I was fourteen years old I was reading every Stephen King book I could find in the public library: I was hooked – I knew I had to be a writer. Through the years I’ve worked many jobs: drywall hanger, lawn spray tech, concrete laborer, line cook, welder – but throughout that time I was always reading and always writing.
I’ve had several stories published and I’ve had four screenplays optioned by producers in Hollywood, one of which is being considered by a major studio for production (keeping my fingers crossed). I’ve also written several novels (Ancient Enemy, Descendants of Magic, The Summoning) which are available on Amazon/Kindle. I’m a member of the Horror Writers Association.
I grew up in Daytona Beach, Florida, and then after many travels and adventures, I settled down in Tampa, Florida where I currently live with my wonderful and supportive wife, my son, and a stray cat we adopted.
