Dallas, Texas

My dream of playing basketball in college.

No, I was not an avid reader as a child.

Yes.

In my opinion, it is best to try and find a indie publisher rather than self-publish. I have done both.

Character development and story line.

My experience as a corporate attorney.

Yes, I self-published it.

I want the reader to be entertained and happy that they chose to read my book.

I was my first character, so it was written in first person.

Arbitrary and Capricious is a legal term and came up in the context of the book.

My ideal setting is to write in my small study while listening to ambient music.

My girlfriend, Paulette and her dog, Monti.

I did not start writing until I transitioned from practicing law into a life of writing, painting and making experimental short films.

I experience procrastination more than writer's block.

I have one at the moment and I am about halfway through the first draft of a new novel.

This is the darkest novel that I have ever written. I wanted to break out of my comfort zone. The protagonist is a young attorney who suffers from some severe psychological issues.

I appreciate AllAuthor and their help promoting my novels.

Yes.
