Why did you decide to be a writer?


On the spur of the moment! I've always been interested in reading and writing and finally had the opportunity to try it out.

I'm a welder. I work in a large shipyard building large aluminum vehicle ferries for the international market.


What genres do you write?


Non-fiction, children's and dystopian fiction.

What inspires you to write?


I just come up with random ideas and then try and work out if there is a story in it that someone might be interested in reading.


What authors/books have most influenced you?


Wilbur Smith, Leon Uris definitely. James Patterson and Bernard Cornwall.


What are your goals as an author? Where do you see yourself in five years?


I would like to be living the dream and writing full-time.

What is the best compliment you've ever received as an author?


That someone loved one of my books is always a great compliment.

What do you enjoy doing aside from writing?


Fishing and hanging out with my wife. We live in a long distance relationship so all of our time together is precious.

If you were stranded on a deserted island, and you could only have five books with you, what would they be?


Ha ha! Five books about survival and how to build a raft!

What made you decide to self-publish?


I enjoy the self-publishing process.

No, I normally come up with the title first!

Not the characters, but I use names from people I know.

Keeping the amount of words down to work with the illustrations.

Keep writing as much as you can and don't be put off if something doesn't work.
