Question: How
long have you been writing?
I've
been writing a long time, but in 2011 I finally decided to publish one of my
manuscripts.
Question: What
was the name of the first book you ever published, and when was it
published?
"Warfolkan: Casualties of Truth", Apr. 2012
Question: Was
this book published by a publisher; or did you self-publish?
I
self-published.
Question: Tell
our readers about this very first book.
(For example: What was the
inspiration for writing it, and what was it about)?
The
inspiration came from the word Warfolkan. It started off as nothing more than a
word I came up with while playing "Dungeons & Dragons". But, from it I
created an entire fantasy world. And, for the past 33 years I've continually wrote
stories about that world.
Question: Can
a person still buy this book? If so,
where?
Dear God,
I hope not.
Question: How
many total books have you published?
Two.
Both were self-published.
Question: List
all of your titles.
Book 1: "Warfolkan:
Casualties of Truth", and
Book 2: "Warfolkan".
Question: Any
future writing projects in the works? If
so, tell us about it, and any pertinent dates to go with it.
For the
past 20 years I’ve tried to write at least one manuscript every winter from the
fantasy world I created. As for future manuscripts being published, that
remains uncertain for now.
Question: What
is the title of your current book, and tell us a little about it.
"Warfolkan",
is my second book. A more complete version of what I tried to accomplish in the
first book. I re-wrote book one and then added 17 more chapters, making
Warfolkan a comprehensive novel.
The plot
truly begins when the main character, Wajue, meets a strange and mysterious
woman, and sets in motion his journey of discovery. The resilient, but immature
Wajue, constantly struggles to make sense of his unforeseen circumstances and
is forced to rely on the woman if he is to survive. Ultimately, in the end, he
will be held accountable for the consequences of his actions and the choices he
has made.
It’s a
genuine action adventure narrative, with extraordinary unforgettable characters,
and promises to keep the pages turning.

Last
question, if
someone comes across this article and reads it, what would you like to tell
them about why you think they should try reading your book or books? (Basically, what can you offer
them in the way of information or entertainment)?
This is
my recipe for homemade fantasy
story telling:
The
three main ingredients I use are a hero, a dash of mystery, and the reader’s
imagination. Next, I toss in 3 to 4 handfuls of action, the wild and crazy
monster kind. I then add two teaspoons of humor, because I hate when the plot
gets too thick. I always use a cup of suspense, while I stir
the plot. And I never forget to include several pinches of romance into the mix,
just to spice up the story.
And
that’s what "Warfolkan" offers in the way of entertainment.
Good to the last finger licking page.
Anything
else you'd like to add that I didn't ask you, but you would like to share with
our readers?
I understand
everyone has a favorite genre they like to read, and if my book is not to their
liking, I’m okay with that. I’m just happy people are reading.

Thank
you for interview and for allowing me to promote my book.
Blog
Writer's Note to Author: Although, I only read the
free preview for "Warfolkan" that Amazon.com gives, I can truly say
that I'm sure there is a market for this book.
I have to admit that when you suggested I read your blog that I wasn't
sure what to expect, but I have to admit that I quite enjoyed it. You have a direct humor that is quite
endearing in your blog posts. So, much
of what you've written on your blog I could relate to as a self-published
author myself. I wish you the best of
luck in finding your audience for this book, and I personally hope you consider
writing and publishing another. Thanks for the
interview.
