Author Interview – Brad Cotton

Do you find it hard to share your work?

No. Some people will love what I do and some people will hate it. I’m both of those people and I don’t mind at all. You can’t let it bother you. Like in regular life, you can’t be all things to all people.

Is your family supportive? Do your friends support you?

Of course my family is ‘”supportive”, in that they don’t tell me I’m wasting my life and always wish me the best. My wife is my biggest fan, but beyond that, there’s very little pomp. When I signed my first book deal, it was news. Now, a new book release gets less attention from most people around me. Many of my friends really couldn’t care less, to be honest. Great, now I’m depressed. Never mind, YES, everyone is super supportive!

Do you plan to publish more books?

Yes. Yes I do.

What else do you do to make money, other than write? It is rare today for writers to be full time…

I work for two charities. One helps underprivileged students with nutrition, medical care, and after-school programs; the other is directly involved with support and therapy for children on the autistm spectrum.

If you could study any subject at university what would you pick?

Astrophysics and/or quantum theory… or gardening.

If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?

In the sky. That would be cool.

How do you write – laptop, pen, paper, in bed, at a desk?

Laptop, table, alcohol, darkness, quietude.
