- Raymond, you have had books, novellas, short stories and poems published, as well as essays in literary journals. When did you begin writing?
-
What was your first piece of writing published?
I submitted an essay to Canary Literary Journal titled “Pond Food” describing observances of activity at a pond on my rural property. It has since been published multiple times in various journals and magazines. I was sixty-two and retired when I wrote this essay.
- You write fiction and non-fiction. Which genre do you prefer?
- The relationship between animals and humans are featured in many of your publications. Is this a subject you have always had an interest?
- Having read reviews of your books Hinterland Journal and Hinterland Narrative I noted several of your readers describe your writing as thought-provoking. Do you think your readers think this because you are passionate about your chosen subjects?
I am passionate about all of my choice of subjects.
- Finally, Raymond, you have had five novellas published Millie And Ami, Trella’s Gift, Queenie, Ezra’s Story, Saving Canis Lupus and your recent publication, Atsa. Any further works you plan to publish?
Yes, I have just recently published a full-length novel titled, Atsa and I have a second novel presently in the works, titled, The Twig Is Bent. All sales from my animal-themed books go to animal rescue organizations. I’m mailing copies of my published works with this theme to various humane societies across the country. I’ll donate the books and they can sell them and keep the proceeds to apply to their cause.
