Author Interview

What is your favorite thing about being a writer? The ability to take seemingly complex subjects and make them understandable and practical to all age levels.

What was one of the most surprising things you learned in creating your books? I learned just how much my stories resonated with people everywhere. The concepts were simple enough for kids to understand and yet challenging enough to inspire change in adults.

Can you share a real-life event that inspired your writing? Honestly, just a desire to pass on lessons learned in my life to my kids and grandkids. I want them to always be able to see what “G-Pa” learned in a particular situation. If I can help them or others avoid one needless pothole from life, then my sacrifice was worth it in writing these books.

What questions do you ask yourself when preparing to write a new book? What audience can this work make the most impact? Is the principle that I’m trying to bring out clear enough? Am I staying true to the story that God gave me? Is it biblically accurate?

What was the best money you spent as a writer? Using Fiverr to find an illustrator and help format my book. It literally saved me thousands from going the traditional publisher route.

How are your characters like you? Different? Funny enough, all of the characters represent one of my family members lol!

How do you come up with story lines/book topic? All of the stories are literally things that I’ve experienced or that actually happened to me! It’s really a function of choosing which topics are suited to be written in a book format.

Why do you write in your particular genre? Bible stories and leaderships have always been two of my passions. As John Maxwell says, “leadership is influence.” The ability to influence people to become better leaders and disciples of Christ through biblical principles is quite fulfilling to me.

What is one thing you wish you could do? Les Brown always says, “live full but die empty.” Instead of wishing what I could do, I’m actively trying to do all that I feel that I’ve been created to say and do. Whatever that looks like becomes my mandate to do. My simple work may make all the difference in the world in changing someone towards become a better and more principled God-focused leader. For me to hold out on that is malpractice against my Creator who gave it to me.

What was your favorite childhood book and why? Where The Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls. When I cried at the end, it made me understand the power of the written word to invoke emotion.
