42 Days of 666 - THE NEXT BIG THING

 Last Wednesday, my favorite Welshman after Tom Jones, the majestic Tim Lebbon, tagged me in The Next Big Thing.  Here are my answers.

1)    What is the working title of your next book?

SEAL Team 666

2)    Where did the idea come from for the book?

The capture and killing of Geronimo by SEAL Team 6 on May 2nd, 2011.

3) What genre does your book fall under?

Military Supernatural Thriller.

4) What actors would you choose to play the part of your characters in a movie rendition?

My main character is SEAL Cadet Jack Walker. I've always imagined him as Ryan Phillipi.

Tim Laws is the deputy commander and I thought of him as Matthew Lillard.

These are the only two I've already imagined as an actor. And you know what? I hope these two read this. They might get their chance. The movie has already been optioned by MGM. If their agent contacts MGM, they might be starring in it sooner than you think. In fact, if their agents contact me, I'll make sure they get a copy of the book.

 5) What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?

Ryan Phillippi
An even more special SEAL Team charged with protecting America from supernatural attack, uncovers a threat to not only the country, but our very existence.

6) Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency?

SEAL Team 666 was represented by The Fleck Agency.

7) How long did it take you to write the first draft of the manuscript?

Three Months.


8) What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?

Books by Jon Merz, Joseph Nassise and Jonathan Maberry.


9) Who or what inspired you to write this book?

See question one.

10) What else about the book might pique the reader's interest?

I've just signed a contract to do a sequel. This one is titled SEAL Team 666: Age of Blood, and will be set in Mexico.
