1. It seems that your books are about crime. What gave you
the inspiration to write this genre?
- It's my active imagination. Way before I put pen to
paper I would have these various storylines in my head
and once I did decide to become a writer, my imagination
went into overdrive with plot after plot. Plus, my
military experience helped as well as family members
being in law enforcement.
2. Are any of your books based on true characters?
- No...strictly
non-fiction. Some of the names of my characters are
people I know that have consented to me using their name
and in some cases, their likeness. Elliot Lucas, the FBI
Deputy Director, was a very good friend and mentor up
until his death.
3. Do you think you'll ever write for another genre?
- Yes, probably the supernatural genre...maybe a
collaboration with a friend and fellow author, Gregory
Townes. I'm a huge fan of Mr. Townes. He has a talent
for the paranormal/supernatural. I don't do relationship
books because I know nothing of relationships or the
opposite gender (smiling/laughing).
4. Where you ever a detective?
- No, but I have a brother who used to be a
detective. Additionally, during my military time, I was
fortunate to do several different types of
investigations.
5. Although you write crime, which genre do you enjoy
reading the most?
- Mystery/Suspense/Crime is my baby!
6. Will you continue the Kenny Carson series?
- Yes!!! I love writing it and more importantly, the
readers love the Kenny 'KC" Carson series. It amazes me
how everyone has their favorite character and want me to
write a spinoff for this character or that character.
Plus, there are tons of stories to tell with Kenny and
his cast of characters.
7. What are you working on next?
- My next Kenny Carson novel, Parts Are Parts. A
supernatural novel, Of Good and Evil. Plus, I am
collaborating with several authors on one novel called
Hurt So Much, which is a relationship/suspense thriller.
Additionally, I will start soon on the novel with
Gregory Townes. And lastly, working on what I call my
baby, introducing my next series. This one is about a
female rogue CIA officer. The first novel in the series
is called Sasha McCoy, Freelancer. I think it's
something different and I'm confident readers will
gravitate to Sasha.
8. Do you have any signings or appearances scheduled?
- Not presently. I am busy writing, writing and more
writing. But I am available for meetings with book clubs
via phone, internet, chat rooms, etc.
9. If you could meet one author, who would it be?
- James Patterson...I have an overly active
imagination. I can only imagine what type imagination he
has.
10. Anything else you want our reading audience to
know about you?
- Yes, I want your support! But my books! (Smile) I
love writing and I love readers reading enjoying my
storylines. I love to hear your comments, so please
email me at jwooden61@yahoo.com.
