What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Dawn in Etrasco (The Equus Cycle Book 1)?
Years ago, I took it as a challenge to write a fantasy with non-human characters. It’s in the vein of Watership Down and Animal Farm, but without the political undertones. I’ve also always been fascinated by how many species, real and fictional, are equine variations.
If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Dawn in Etrasco (The Equus Cycle Book 1), what would they be?
Wild Horses by the Rolling Stones might be a bit on the nose. Don’t Stop Believin’ by Journey would speak to the overall story and saga arc.
What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
When I considered this, I started to think about fantasy, but then I thought, what about mysteries, thrillers, and history? I’m not sure I can narrow it down. It depends on the author. My favorite genre to write in, I think, would be history. I love finding unusual true stories. However, my favorite genre to write in to be wild and creative would be fantasy.
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
I actually just purchased Small Favor by Jim Butcher this morning. I love The Dresden Files. I also have The Great Bridge by David McCullough, School Days by Robert B. Parker, Return to Sender by Craig Johnson, and Iron Gold by Pierce Brown. However, like most authors, my TBR list has dozens, if not more, books on it.
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
I think that would be the prologue. It stayed pretty much the way I envisioned it from the start. Many of my other fun scenes to write went through various iterations. While I may love the way scenes like that turn out, that rewriting and rewriting often changes my initial vision, even if it works better for the story.
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
I like to have music playing in the background. It helps me focus and forget about the rest of the world.
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
My philosophy is to write a story I’m excited by because I feel that that enthusiasm transfers from me to my writing.
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
I guess that would be, don’t give up if you know you’re right.

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Cybersecurity Checklist for Business Owners: Executive Battle Plan to Survive Cyber Threats?
Most small businesses I've worked with over the years do not fully grasp the risks that cybercriminals pose to their livelihoods. I am not only concerned about the survival of my clients if a cyber attack occurs, but of all the small business owners that don't have a security specialist available to walk them through the measures they need to stay protected. Today's crimes don't just take the cash from the register, but they can create magnitudes of liability no one is prepared for. One criminal accessing $1,000 worth of small business data can result in $10 million in lawsuit settlements. Hopefully, this book helps some owners and managers rethink their risk strategies.
If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Cybersecurity Checklist for Business Owners: Executive Battle Plan to Survive Cyber Threats, what would they be?
Jaws theme song.
What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
These days, I only have time for business and technology non-fiction, but Catch-22 was awesome.
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
The incident reports were both the most terrifying but also most important parts to write since they highlight the costs of inaction or inadequate preparation. They remind us of the skill of our adversaries and how comprehensive our defenses must be.
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
Our cat, Posie, was definitely part of the writing process. Mostly, she insisted on frequent breaks, which can be helpful.
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
"You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough." -Mae West
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
Cybersecurity isn't only an information technology concern. It should be one of the primary concerns of all business owners, managers, and stakeholders.
