I had no choice. My brain processes in long verse. Stories come to me constantly. Characters stomp around in my brain making way too much noise until I get them on paper.
No, I don’t. I have a file of more story ideas than I could write in a lifetime. I also don’t do collaborations. Please don’t ask.
I will not. I am sorry but I don’t have that kind of time. One person’s writing isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but nobody should have enough weight to their opinion to diminish anyone else’s efforts. Go write your stories, and never apologize. Your greatness is yours alone.
Read, read, read. Then read some more.
No, the publishing industry is beyond my comprehension. Good luck to us all.
That is a work in progress, and you will know as soon as it’s available.
This is the most important question you could ask. Peter Benchley greatly regretted writing “Jaws” because of the backlash towards sharks we saw in the 70s after it’s release. Great white sharks were nearly wiped out from the western Atlantic. He spent the rest of his life as an advocate for the protection of sharks. I love sharks. It was my life’s ambition to become an ichthyologist and make a living studying them. That didn’t happen for me, but that spark never went away. I hope, through my stories, that sharks and shark conservation can be kept at the forefront of our global focus. That conversations about our impact on the environment and fish stocks globally are happening on a regular basis. The truth is that humans slaughter over 150 million sharks every year. I suspect that number is much larger in truth. Sharks are integral to the health of our oceans. In the same way that wolves are integral to Yellowstone. They keep the fish populations healthy, and their reefs functioning as intended. There was a research paper not long ago, I can’t site the author at the moment but will come back up update when I can, that studied a reef devoid of life. Almost no fish to be seen. The local community did what they could to draw sharks back to the reef and keep them there. Very shortly thereafter the bounty of life returned to the reef on its own. Sharks aren’t just big fish, they’re a lynch pin of survival for our waters. Their survival is our survival. Do the sharks in my books take peoples’ lives? Yes. Are shark apex predators in their domain? Absolutely. But my stories aren’t just sharks swimming around eating people. The reasons around the actions are as foundational to the stories as much as the sharks themselves. Just like in real life.
