Interview
First off, I’d like to say thank you for inviting me to this interview- it’s a good way for authors to touch base with their readers, outside the scope of simply reading their profile or random board interaction.
1) How much has your travels contributed to your writing?I’d have to say quite a bit, especially my time in the Army. It’s given me the opportunity to experience different cultures and see places that many people only read about. In doing so, I convey some of my travel experiences on to the readers. It also helps with character creation- I’ve used numerous people that I’ve met over the years as templates for story characters and adapted the personality to fit the story.
2) In your book Misadventures In Infidelity Erin becomes a house slave, what research did you do to write that particular story from Erins pov?Actual research? None. In this particular story, I used my personal experience in the BDSM lifestyle to set the stage, or setting for Erin, with a desired plot conclusion as my end result. The rest I attribute to the character creation itself, (their goals, motivation, desires, and personalities) both Erin’s and her Mistress, Mrs. Waters. For an author, it’s a matter of putting yourself in their shoes, deciding how they will react, or what they will do or say in a certain situation based on the character’s personality traits.
3) You write erotic books which are mainly a female dominate genre, do you feel it's harder for you as a male author to be taken seriously?I started writing erotica long before reading it and it reflects my personal taste in reading. It’s not what you would call ‘the norm,’ as far as what most people view as being typical erotica. I know how odd that sounds- an erotica author that doesn’t read erotica. I truly believe that helped me in the sense, because I never had a preconceived notion of what ‘erotica’ actually was.
Because of it, I’ve never had an issue as being taken seriously in this genera- I believe in letting the difference and the quality of my work speak for itself. I remember when my first book came out, The Devil’s Dance, and some readers swore that I was a woman, despite my Pen name and profile. The character was that believable, written from a first person pov of a woman, and a submissive in the lifestyle, which was contrary to everything ‘I’ claimed to be.
The gender the author really doesn’t matter, in my opinion. It’s a matter of being able to step outside of yourself and think like the character you’re portraying in book. You have to understand human nature itself- the cause and effect of interaction, to make the characters honest and the story itself realistic.
4) What books are you currently working on?
I’m currently working on Slave World II, the sequel to Salve World, and I would say it’s approximately 80% complete. It’s been in the works for over a year now due to setbacks in my life that has put my writing time on hold. That one is my priority until it is finished, but I’m also working on a collection of ‘Dark Paranormal’ short stories. At some point I need to return to an Alternate History PNR that I started about 2 years ago that will be more traditional in nature and romance oriented.
Lots of others planned, in the plot development stage for later down the road, including a co-author PNR with another established writer that totally redefines the concept of what Vampires and Shifters are all about.
5) Out of all the places you have traveled which one has been your favorite?Tough question. Different places hold special meanings for me with distinctive memories. Many of the places I’ve been have been represented incorrectly or romanticized by movies or tv, and I discovered first hand that, that wasn’t really the case. It’s like seeing the world with blinders on and not the whole picture. Example- the Venice Italy. Most people think of the canals, and romantic trips in a gondola. Ah yes… the perfect Honeymoon place, right? To me, I think of a dirty city that smelled like any other port- petrol, dead fish, sewage and filth.
Some fonder memories? There’s nothing like sunset or dawn in the desert- so desolate and quiet in it’s simplistic beauty, as the sky begins to dim or brighten, laced with a multitude of colors.
Skiing in the Austrian Alps… magnificent. Such a pretty country, just like the in the movie, ‘The Sound of Music.’
Sitting in a small, smoke-filled pub in Germany, drinking beer and singing ‘Panzerlied’ with some old WWII German Army vets one night. Same trade, same profession, separated by fifty years and different wars.
So many different countries… different sights, sounds, and smells that stay with you forever. I can say that I am truly fortunate to have experienced some of the things I have, booth good and bad.
6) When you are not writing, what do you like to do?I work full time at a coal-fired power plant, odd hours, so my free time is limited. Writing takes up most of it. In the past I used to play a lot of RPG’s, or Strategy based board and computer games. I used to do a lot of painting, some oil-based, and sell my work on e-bay. Did well at that for several years, but then started writing. Used to do a lot of reading, but that has been pushed to the wayside over the last 6 years as well. I used to do a lot of things that I don’t any longer. Lol
I also moderate a board on GR, and that takes up a chuck of my time as well.
6) Favorite author of all time?Another tough one, and I’m not sure I have one. As I said above, I don’t read on a regular basis any longer, at least anything new or current. I guess if I had to go with a single author, it would be J.R.R. Tolkien.
