Interview:
Molly: What music, if any do you listen to when you write?
John: I’m a huge fan of Nelly Furtado so I do spend a lot of my time listening to her. In fact, in my latest novel, Love, Joy, Heartache and Pain, I dedicated one of the three stories found inside to her. Hopefully, one day she reads it and lets me know what she thinks about it.
Molly: Are you a full time writer, or part time writer?
John: I wish I was a full time writer, but I’m not. Contrary to what many believe, being an author doesn’t really pay the bills so I’ve got to find another way to pay them. So, unless I sell millions of copies, I’m stuck being a part time writer.
Molly: Do you hope to one day be a full time writer?
John: Oh, definitely yes! From the bottom of my heart, I wish that one day I could be a full time author and make a living out of it.
Molly: Do you have a word count per day you try to hit?
John: As of right now, no. My job keeps me so busy that I’ve barely got time to write. It’s when I’m on holidays that I manage to write a book or two. Summer is coming up so I’ll use that time to emerge myself in writing and finish a book or two.
Molly: When you finish writing a book, how long before you begin writing the next one?
John: Usually, if it’s part of a series, almost immediately. If not, I focus all my attention on editing. That usually takes weeks or even months.
Excerpt:
And there I stood, at the entrance of the school, wishing I were anywhere else but in this goddamn rat hole of hypocrites, liars and backstabbers.
“Move it loser!” Andrew shouted, knocking me to the side.
And then there was Andrew Cooper. He and a couple of his jock friends laughed and teased me as they walked inside the building. Andrew Cooper, the asshole jock, was the main reason why I hated my life at Gelson High. I couldn’t wait for graduation at the end of the year, so he could kiss my white ass goodbye once and for all. I loathed that pathetic little loser with all my heart, body and soul.
“Take comfort in the fact that this is his fifth year here.” A voice behind me caused me to immediately turn around.
And there she was, Kylie Bursnell, in all her glory. Now, since she is my best friend, me, a geeky little loser who’s afraid of a big, muscular jock, many of you may think that might make Kylie either a nerd or a reject from hell. Well, that isn’t the case at all. In fact, Kylie is one of the cheerleaders on the Gelson High cheerleading squad. The girl is a freaking bombshell! Every guy wants her, except for my other best friend, Josh, the rebel of our senior class. That’s the clichéd part of this story. For some reason, he doesn’t like her, or they just don’t click. You may be wondering why a girl like her would even be friends with a loser like me since cheerleaders are mostly shallow, arrogant and mean. Well, she’s not the typical cheerleader, that’s for sure. She is real and down to earth, just like me.
