1. Tell us a bit about yourself and
your background. How did you get into writing and editing?
For as long as I can remember, I've
always enjoyed stories and storytelling. Thanks to my parents, I began reading
from an early age and it wasn't long before I started creating my own stories.
English was my favorite subject in elementary and high school, and my major in
college was narrative studies. Outside of school, I was writing short stories,
scripts, and movie reviews. In 2007, my first book was published, "The
Untold Origins of Invisible Scarlet O'Neil" by Atlantis Studios and I'm
proud to have participated in many other projects since then as a writer and/or
editor, including many by my own company, New Legend Productions.
2. Who is Abraham Snow?
Abraham is the main character of
the Snow series by Bobby Nash and a throwback to the action-oriented private
detectives such as Jim Rockford, Thomas Magnum, and David Spenser. He might not
have genius-level deductive abilities, but he is a blue collar hard worker with
a bit of charm and never hesitates to push himself to the limit despite having
a heart condition that makes even some of the most basic tasks life
threatening.
3. What draws you to the various
characters in the Snow series?
Bobby Nash has surrounded Abraham
with a top-notch cast of characters that not only have his back, but also keep
him grounded. Whether they are actual blood relations or found family friends
and colleagues, each one is strong enough in character to easily be featured in
his or her own solo adventure.
4. Why should people be reading or
listening to the Snow books?
Bobby Nash's Snow books are
well-crafted action thrill rides featuring compelling characters and I'm very
proud to contribute any way I can. If you're a fan of retro tv shows such as
The Rockford Files, Magnum P.I. and Spencer for Hire or recent series like Burn
Notice and Bosch, you'll find a familiar vibe with this series. So however you
enjoy your books, turning pages or turning up the volume, pick up one of
Abraham's adventures and let it Snow!
