What is
your name and/or pen name?
Lawrence A Wood MD
What
genre do you write?
Crime Novels
What
made you want to be a writer?
I first began writing poems
because, as a shy person, it was much easier to write my thoughts than to
openly express them. However, the best thing about writing is the ability to
create. That’s cool.
How do
you feel about the writing community as a whole?
Writers are amazing! To read
or hear other writers create something from nothing highlights the incredible
human mind.
Have
you or will you be willing to collaborate with other authors in the future?
I have been approached in
the past to collaborate, but it has not happened yet. I have my own projects
which need my attention. I would collaborate on the right project, though. I
did collaborate on the adaptation of my first novel “Among Pigeons” into a
screenplay.
Tell us
about your book and if it’s upcoming or already published.
I have a series of crime
novels involving Roman Barnes, a homeless man. Each book has a theme.
In “Among Pigeons” Roman
befriends a young girl and then accused of abducting her. The theme is
dignity.
“Love and Death Among
Pigeons” -Roman is compelled to take care of a dog and a homeless woman and
finds himself involved in a murder. Theme is companionship.
“Life Among Pigeons”
(presently writing) is a prequel. It goes into much more detail of how Roman
became homeless. The theme is hope.
I also have an illustrated
short Christmas story, “The Strawberry Tree”. Josephus Thomas Thatch-hut
returns to his mother’s homeland and learns a powerful Christmas message.
Is your
book or upcoming book an eBook, paperback, or both?
First 2 novels are paperbacks and eBooks. The same will
be true of the 3rd.
Is this
your first book?
No
Are you
planning to write more?
Yes
Is
there anything you would say to other writers, that want to write and publish a
book?
Write, write, write. There is nothing to publish, unless
you write it, FIRST. Write!
Where
can my readers find your book and how they can follow you on social media?
Leave only links that you want open to the public.
Thank you Lawrence, and I couldn't agree more when you talked about creating something from nothing. As artists in our craft, we start and end with just the tool of our minds. Thanks again.
As Always, Happy Reading and Writing Everyone
G. D. Talbot
