![]() ![]() ![]() I listen to a lot of bombastic music like death and doom metal, and this helps put me in the mood to write. ![]() ![]() I am a very visual writer and I try to replicate what I see in my mind through words. I get most of my inspiration from music and movies. I like writing what I would want to read. Lord of the Flies by William Golding is my favorite book. Anything from the Gothic, American Romantic, and Victorian eras suit me just fine, but I also enjoy intense psychological stories, regardless of genre or era. I rarely pick up a book that is less than one hundred years old, though I do enjoy some modern authors. My first book, The Age of Apollyon, came out last fall, and it’s the first book in a trilogy about what could happen after Satan reveals himself to the world. I’m a sucker for intense dramatic atmosphere and melodrama, and I try to make my writing moody and engrossing. I like to infuse all the elements that I enjoy reading into my own writing. I’ve been writing stories of all kinds since I was a little kid, but I’ve always been drawn to sci-fi, action/adventure, and horror. My interests include art, tattoos, heavy metal, cathedrals, a cold beer, and of course, reading and writing. I teach English classes at a Chinese university. I’m an American currently living in China with my wife and son. ![]()
