Where did
you attend college and study artificial intelligence?
I went to
Plymouth University and gained an Honours degree in computing and gained a
Master’s degree in software engineering studying artificial intelligence at
Sunderland University.
We are all
drawn to writing because we have a story to tell, is this why you became a
writer?
Yes, I have
many stories to tell. It all began as a boy growing up in America. Even then I
wanted to be a writer, but most of my life I have been trying to figure out
what I wanted, but it’s always been there. Interestingly, all this time I have
kept the scraps of paper with the words I have written. I am often reminded by
the lyrics of Baz Luhrmann Everybody’s Free (To Wear) Sunscreen “Don’t feel
guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life…the most
interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their
lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don’t” Well, that has been me in the
past. Now, I am busy working on my next book.
What are
your favourite genres to read?
I do not
have any favourites because it’s the story that is important. It can be science
fiction, crime, romance, and so on, but it always comes back to the story.
Ernest Hemingway talked about the ‘iceberg theory,’ as a writer you can omit
certain elements, but the story holds our attention. Each page we turn we want
to know more as we identify with the characters leading us to the end of the
story.
Do you have
a favourite author and why?
I could list
so many and miss out so many, because there are numerous good writers out there
now and in the past. Paulo Coelho for example, his book ‘The Alchemist’ is a
story about a shepherd boy on a quest, but it’s also about love and much more.
Hidden within the story is a moral similar to ‘Jesus and his parables’ and what
Hemingway used in many of his books the ‘iceberg theory.’
And now for
something completely random, what is your favourite animal?
I have
always loved animals especially dogs, ever since I can remember. Once on a trip
as a boy to a zoo I remember seeing an ape in what appeared a small enclosure.
I remember staring into the eyes of the ape and wondering what the ape was
thinking, but me wishing all animals were free…

In my latest book “It’s Never Too Late” read how dreams do come true, but be careful what you wish for. Understand the secret of greed and you will attain one of the secrets of prosperity. The book will also take you on a journey and explores love, money, luck, and much more.

Hey, Chuck. Did you bring any spending money? Viva la vida loca.
