Q1. Hello, can you please introduce yourself? Readers would love to know more about you.
A1. I’m a retired Air Force pilot and Airline pilot. My background is engineering and flying.
I love history and I firmly believe human history is ultimately defined by conflict. I believe in logic and reason and try to examine history logically and scientifically. I allude to this in the preamble of my 1st book.
Q2. What were the key challenges you faced while writing your book “A Christian Life…..Connected”?
A2. Some years back I began having trouble focusing on my nightly reading. I realized it was because there was so much going through my mind it was disabling my focus on the pages in front of me.
So I decided to start writing down everything that was going through my mind. I realized I have vivid recall of all the events of my past, even back to childhood. It began as an exercise, but turned into a book about stories from my life. I wrote whatever I thought would be informative or amusing.
Q3. What books or authors have most influenced your own writing?
A3. All the Books of Scripture, of course. And JFK’s Profiles in Leadership, Jacksel Broughton’s Thud Ridge, and all the many works of H. G. Wells. The rest of the list is simply too long.
Q4. What’s your favourite spot to visit in your own country? And what makes it so special to you?
A4. New Orleans, LA. Because it’s so rich in American history.
Q5. What inspired you to write the book ‘The Enemy Within’?
A5. I don’t know what inspired The Enemy Within. The words started pouring out before I finished A Christian Life…..Connected.
Q6. How long did it take you to write your book ‘A Christian Life…..Connected’?
A6. I think it only took a few years.
I was taught how to write concisely in college. Always maximum message with MINIMUM words!
Q7. On what platforms can readers buy your books?
A7. My 1st book is available on most bookstore sites. You just have to google it.
I expect the same to be true for my 2nd, in a month or so.
Q8. Tell us about the process of coming up with the book cover and the title ‘The Enemy Within’?
A8. The book cover for The Enemy Within was produced by the artists at Dorrance Publishing. I wanted a depiction of the two sides of human nature; the Good and the Bad. This IS the essential conflict within.
Q9. When writing a book how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?
A9. I never worry about freshness because I have no control over it.
Q10. What is the most valuable piece of advice you’ve been given about writing?
A10. My only message to readers is the last sentence in each work.
