Good morning, Brett, and welcome to Vision and Verse.


What have you written?

 

My first novel was released Jan 15 the book is titled “Nameless 


Vs the Army of the Dead” Book one in the Nameless Saga. 

 


What is your favorite genre to write?

 

Fantasy, is my first love, I have several fantasy series that I am 


working on right now, I am beginning to think about 


experimenting and writing a Sci Fi series but my true love is 


fantasy. 

 


Favorite food.

 

Cheeseburger and steak. 

 


Tea or coffee?


Tea, Coffee makes me sick. 

 


Pizza or ice cream?


Ice cream, I like a good slice of pizza, but I can’t have ice cream 


in my house lol because I would eat it all. 



You know, I think we could be friends. Wine or beer or soda?

 


Wine if I am having dinner with me wife, but Old Fashioned 


when I am relaxing. 

 


Where would you like to visit?

So many places, - Ireland, Japan, New Zealand and Australia 


are top of my list. 

 


Favorite musical artist.  


Aerosmith, I grew up one town over from where they came from


and I met the lead singer Stephen Tyler several times and he is a 


really cool guy. 

 


Do you listen to music when you write?  What?


I have gotten into two cellos right now I love popular rock music 


with a “classic feel” like two cellos. 


 


What makes you laugh?


So many things! There are many things that make me laugh. 


One character that makes me laugh is snoopy. I love him in the 


comic strip, (seeing him typing on a typewriter makes me laugh) 

 


Favorite work of art or sculpture.


I don’t really have a favorite piece of art, I have art styles I really


enjoy  Realism, realist landscapes are two of my favorite styles 

 


How old were you when you started writing?


I started out writing movie scripts, years ago with a partner, but 


realizing that it costs millions of dollars to produce a movie, I got 


into writing my first novel 18 months ago. 

 


Do you plan out your book with outlines and notecards? Or just 


write?


Planning and outlining is my thing! I always joke that I never get 


writers block during the first draft because I get all my writers 


block out of the way during the outlining phase. My outlines are 


usually anywhere from 80 to 100 pages before I start my first 


draft. 

 


Describe your perfect evening.


Dinner with my wife, followed by writing after she goes to bed. 


She goes to bed early but I am a night owl. 

 


Where do you get your inspiration?


I get my inspiration from my ADHD brain, I call it my super 


power lol I think random thoughts all the time and I suddenly the 


random thoughts I was having suddenly becomes the idea for a 


cool story or a great addition to the story I am working on.  

 

 

What do you do when you get a writer's block?


I usually get writing block during the outline stage, I usually go 


practice martial arts Something about focusing on martial arts 


allows my brain to work in the background, that is where I cure 


my writers block. 

 


Who is your favorite author?


Stephen King, he had so many stories that I loved the 


gunslinger series is an example of an epic series of books that 


spanned my entire life. I love a lot of his books. 

 



Best book you ever read.


Tough call, Probably The Wizard and Glass by Stephen King, 


The book is my favorite book in my favorite series. 

 


Last book you read.


I am really into He who fights monsters series, It was my first 


experience in RPG Lit the author set up a “game system” 


universe that totally made sense. 

 



What would you do for a living if you weren’t a writer?


I would love to be a super hero, but that is a hard gig to get 

 


Who is the one person who has influenced your personal life the 


most and why?


As far a becoming an author my Mother, she gave me my love 


of reading which led me to becoming an author. 

 


If you could sit down and have a conversation with ONE person, 


living or dead, real or fictional, who would it be and why?


James Patterson, I’m not a huge fan of his books, but I am a 


HUGE fan of his writing process and Marketing Process. While 


Harry Potter is the biggest series of all time, But outside of Harry 


Potter JK Rowling hasn’t had a ton of success, James Patterson 


has over 100 best sellers! That is wild! I would love to sit and 


talk writing and marketing with him. 

 


What advice would you give someone who aspired to be a 


writer?


Be hard on your writing we live in a world with zero gatekeepers 


stopping us from publishing our book, but that means you have 


the responsibility to make sure the work you publish is the 


strongest possible. Also invest in a professional book cover, 


anyone who says don’t judge a book by its cover has never 


been a self publisher
