Thank you for this interview! I’d like to know more about you as a person
first. What do you do when you’re not
writing?
I love to hang out with my kids and watch movies. Right now,
my 8 year-old son and I are watching the classics from my childhood ‘Bill &
Ted’s Excellent Adventure’, ‘Indiana Jones’, ‘The Goonies’…etc….We also play a
ton of video games.
When did you start writing?
I’ve been writing since I’m 15 years old. Screenplays since
I’m 20. Novels since I’m 30.
As a published author, what would you say was the most
pivotal point of your writing life?
Getting an entertainment attorney…and a powerful one at
that. I’m repped by Susan Grode at
Katten Law.
If you could go anywhere in the world to start writing
your next book, where would that be and why?
I’m not that big on traveling out the states. I’m actually taking my family to Orlando
for a vacation soon, so I’m looking forward to seeing the different theme
parks. I have a new idea for a Great
White Shark park I’ve been ruminating about.
If you had 4 hours of extra time today, what would you
do?
Cook more bacon.
Where would you like to set a story that you haven’t done
yet?
As I mentioned above, I’m really into theme parks now –
thanks kids. It’s impossible for a Great White Shark to be kept in captivity.
I’d love to read a book about an aquarium that actually does capture a great
white and puts it on display. Would make
a scary tale.
Back to your present book, Stillwell, how did you publish it?
I used to publish all my works through Create Space. They
are the self-publishing arm of Amazon and have been instrumental in my new
business. They really make it easy, and
when I self-published Stillwell, it was literally uploading my manuscript and
cover, the layout, etc…and Amazon has it around the world within 24 hours. It’s really remarkable.
In writing your book, did you travel anywhere for
research?
Just my den and kitchen. I would walk to my kitchen to eat
kielbasa. Then back to my den to write.
Why was writing Stillwell
so important to you?
I pitched my screenplay Brood X to a super producer in Hollywood.
They loved it but mentioned that they are looking for a new spin on the movie
Taken. I thought, what would be a worse
case than having your daughter kidnapped?
How about having your wife’s soul kidnapped by a demon. Stillwell was born.
Where do you get your best ideas and why do you think
that is?
Watching good movies has been, by far, the most
inspirational aspect in my writing. I
can watch an old horror movie, put a spin on it, and make it my own. All
stories are really the same. It’s just how can you put your own signature on
it.
Any final words?
I’m working on three other books and three other screenplays
now. Witches Protection Program Part II.
Monsterland Part II, and a sequel to my unreleased Dragged Down Deep. Three scripts in the works are called
Taoboys, Will, I Am Colossus. Stay
tuned…
