the tradition.

How old were you when you started writing?
I believe I was eleven
Do you plan out your book with outlines and notecards? Or just write?
I wish I could plan. I just write off the cuff.
Describe your perfect evening.
A campfire on a dry night in open country
Where do you get your inspiration?
The last decade or so has seen the rise of the neowestern drama. I’m inspired by books, movies, and series such as Longmire, Justified, No Country for Old Men, Hell or High Water, and Yellowstone.
What do you do when you get a writer's block?
I simply have to wait and think. Some authors skip until they know what they want to happen, but that’s just not my bad.
Who is your favorite author?
Frank Leslie
Best book you ever read?
The Road by Cormac McCarthy
Last book you read.
Raylan: a Novel by Elmore Leonard
What would you do for a living if you weren’t a writer?
Definitely a wrangler.
Who is the one person who has influenced your personal life the most and why?
My grandfather with his stories of Vietnam
If you could sit down and have a conversation with ONE person, living or dead, real or fictional, who would it be and why?
Theodore Roosevelt. He lived the ultimate rugged American lifestyle. Big game hunter, cowboy, war hero, and soldier.
What advice would you give someone who aspired to be a writer?
To write, and to show instead of telling in their writing. It took me over a decade to actually develop this skill and I’m still not completely where I’d like to be
