Who would you say has been your biggest inspiration?
As a student of literature, my inspiration comes from the master’s of fiction, including
Melville, Twain, Fitzgerald, Hemingway and Steinbeck.
What is your all-time favorite book?
This is a hard one. But when I first read Moby Dick in high school, I was mesmerized by the
sea. Enough so that I eventually joined the Navy.
How long do you normally take to research your book?
I usually spend a month researching a book before I write the first sentence. This includes
subject, setting, characters, etc. I also do an extensive character study of my main protagonist,
but I like to leave some parts of his background a mystery to even me. That way I can also
discover through the writing process.
What is on your Ipod now?
I don’t own an iPod. But I do have a one-gig card on my cell phone, with about 250
songs on it, including four complete U2 albums.
Do you have any superstitions when you write, little quirks, etc?
I always write first drafts in the morning while I listen to music on my computer. After
working for years on military aircraft, my ears ring. So I can’t write in silence. I also pick my
music based on the scene I’m writing (from hard rock to classical).
If you could solve any mystery for yourself, what would it be?
Growing up in Northern Minnesota, there were a couple murders of young women that were
never solved. That was quite disconcerting to a youngster from a small town. Still is.
If you could talk to any person, Alive or Dead, for one hour, who would it be?
My grandfather on my German side, who died before I was born. He spent years as an
officer in the German army during WWI, where he was gassed repeatedly. I know almost nothing
about that side of my family before they came to America.
I love to hear stories from authors about their first published book, how did you
get it done?
My first book, FATAL NETWORK, started as a writing assignment in a short story class for my
graduate degree in writing at Northern Michigan University. My professor asked me to continue
writing, and to make it my graduate thesis. About a year and a half later, and 350 pages, I had
written my first novel. But it wasn’t easy. I was a captain in the Air Force at the time, with a
large contingent of my B52 squadron deployed overseas in six locations in support of the first
Gulf War. I found a publisher for the book about two years after I finished my thesis. That
publisher eventually went under, but FATAL NETWORK has now been published by three U.S. print
publishers, three audio book publishers, a Japanese edition, and it spent almost a year in the top
25 as an eBook bestseller on bn.com in the thriller section.
What future plans can you tell us about?
I have three books I’m currently completing. They’re essentially done (although they’re
never really done), and I’ll be breaking out to a larger publisher so my books can reach a larger
audience.
When you are not writing, what do you like to do for fun?
I travel the world, hunt for big game, and shoot my guns. Sometimes in that order.
