This varies from project to project, and the amount of 'life stuff' that I allow to obstruct my progress. How long does it usually take you to write a book, from the original idea to finishing writing it? The latest big novel release is called Canceled: The Story of America's Least Wanted. In fewer than 20 words, it is 'a thriller that parodies our obsession with reality TV in the context of one the most controversial subjects: abortion.' Oh, it's also a love story, if you can imagine that. What is the name of your latest book, and if you had to summarise it in less than 20 words what would you say? But I fully intend to write fiction as my full-time job as soon as it is financially possible. I do currently maintain a day job as a marketing writer, to pay the bills and support my family. It wasn't until a couple of years later, when I began to pursue it as a career, that I considered myself a professional fiction writer.ĭo you work another job as well as your writing work? I first considered myself a fiction writer when I wrote my first book - a Star Trek fanfic novel back in 2004. When did you first consider yourself as a 'writer'? In the late 90s, as I became disillusioned with the news biz, I started to wonder what I really wanted to do for a living. So, at university, my major was communication - which led me to my first career, as a TV news producer. Of course, we communicate in lots of ways, but I consider words to be the most meaningful way to transmit ideas. I've always had an interest in communication, and always felt that words are key to how we communicate.

I was born in San Francisco, California and I now live in Utah.ĭid you always want to be a writer? If not what did you want to be? What is your name, where were you born and where do you live now?
