Author of Jeremy Carter: Swell of Hope and Fury

Jeremy Carter lives to chase the perfect wave—until a vicious encounter with school bullies catapults him into the wreckage of a crashed alien spacecraft. Amid the twisted metal and eerie silence, he uncovers a strange, glowing artifact that hums with untapped power.

Across town, a ruthless Russian mobster with an army of henchmen has learned of Jeremy’s discovery and will stop at nothing to seize the artifact for himself. Soon, what began as a personal quest for purpose explodes into an all-out turf war of shadowy espionage and high-octane showdowns.

The Swell of Hope and Fury is a pulse-pounding ride through roaring surf and neon-lit back alleys, where breakneck action and jaw-dropping twists collide. Jeremy and his crew of friends, joined by his trusted Kung Fu mentor, embark on a global adventure as they try to protect the artifact and restore balance to the universe.

The moment I knew I wanted to become an author:

I always liked to write short stories.

Hardback, paperback, ebook or audiobook:

I love print, 100% print guy hardcover or paperback.
I don't think I have the patience to listen to an audiobook as I read fast.
e-books are hard to read in my opinion; it doesn't work well for me.

The last book I read:

Thinking, Fast and Slow, by Daniel Kahneman, is not a novel, but I love reading all kinds of books. Daniel Kahneman was a phenomenal researcher of the human mind, and this book is no exception as he explores different concepts of how our brain works and what it means to our day-to-day life.

Pen & paper or computer:

I like to think about the book from start to finish more like movie scenes. I sort of know what I want to say, and I start moving across the timeline. But as I start, I will often change a lot of time and shift to new storylines if I think they are more exciting or interesting.
I always use a computer when I am writing, but I like to start writing only after I have thought about it. I don't look at the screen and start thinking about it.

Can't think of one
