First Author Interview
My first author interview just went live. Check it out!
Jason, I love your books but I know you just recently started writing. What did you do before you decided to become an author? I did contract work as a Digital Forensic Analyst for the Department of Defense. It sounds more important than it actually is. Basically I broke into computers and looked for naughty things. I’ve also done IT work, and home theater installations. I tried to become a porn star after I quit, but for whatever reason my wife didn’t like that idea. I asked around to a few different authors for interview advice and Elle Casey suggested asking “Why do you write?” So Jason, why do you write? After the porn career idea was shot down I had to come up with something else. Writing seemed like a natural transition from pornography, so here I am. Actually, I have a degree in film and television production and was all set to move to L.A. (not for porn, really!), but I met my wife a few months before graduation. I decided to forgo that career to stay back East with her. Though I didn’t go into the business, I have a serious passion for movies and books that never went away. Writing novels isn’t too far from writing screenplays, and with the digital book revolution ongoing, I decided to throw my hat on the pile. I read on an advice for interviews blog that most authors hate to be asked how they get their ideas…why do you think that is? If I had to guess, it’s probably because most authors are turds, e.g. Elle Casey. Writers are like anyone else, and most people happen to be turds. Look at me – I’m an author, and I’m a turd. That question might bother some people, because they don’t know how to answer it. Sometimes ideas just pop in there, which is usually the case with me.
