1) Tell us a little bit about yourself. How did you get into writing?
I’ve been in the sales industry for over 40 years. I have helped develop sales training programs and have written numerous articles on the subject. For years I was intrigued with a certain relative who was a family legend (a black sheep of the family) and wanted to learn more about his story. I had a desire to hear the details, so I sat with him for months and the story just fell onto paper.
2) What inspired you to write your book?
The story was so intriguing and captivating that the urge to write it was so overwhelming.
3) What theme or message do you hope readers will take away from your book?
The lure of money is so powerful that it motivates people to stretch the limits of the law.
4) What drew you into this particular genre?
The motivation for the story was the rarely seen, dark world of high stakes, high pressure telemarketing sales industry.
5) If you could sit down with any character in your book, what would you ask them and why?
I was taken on a trip into the mind of Scott Newman. That gave me all the motivation I needed to bring the story to life.
6) What social media site has been the most helpful in developing your readership?
Amazon and facebook have been the most successful to date. Self publishing makes it more difficult getting the story to the masses. A lot of work is still needed to reach a larger amount of readership.
7) What advice would you give to aspiring or just starting authors out there?
I guess, for me, the only advice I would have is for an aspiring author to find a subject he/she is passionate about. That will make the juices flow and help jumpstart the writing process.
8) What does the future hold in store for you? Any new books/projects on the horizon?
I do have another project I am working on. It is based upon several intersecting stories of severe anxiety leading to frightening results. The working title is “Panic In The Mirror…Reflections Of A Vision Lost.”
