I would like you to meet a friend of mine, Alex Newton. Alex is the author of Plan and Prep: Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse.

What made you want to be a writer?

I have always been a voracious reader and wrote quite a few short stories in school.  I had tinkered with the thought of writing for some time before I ever took a serious crack at completing a project.

Most Indie Authors have day jobs as well as their writing. Do you and if you do how do you balance writing, work and life in general?

Yes, I have a “real job” as well as a family.  Finding time to devote to each of them can be difficult.  I suggest having a place to write that is easy to segregate from everything else.

In your book, Plan and Prep: Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse, what was your inspiration?

My inspiration was actually writer’s block from another project.  Once I began writing it, I just couldn’t stop.

Do you have any projects coming up that we should keep an eye out for?

I have a few things out in the wind, but nothing that is nearing completion at this time.

Do you have any advice for writers that are just starting out?

Stay the course, this is not something that happens overnight and many great writers have yet to finish their first work.
