The second book in the Joe Daniels' trilogy continues where False Positive ends as Joe continues his mission to destroy those who have destroyed his life. As the world changes, Joe's search for justice takes on a global urgency and he races to find answers before deadly answers find him. Beginning in a secluded town in the middle of nowhere, it is not long before Joe is traveling across the country and, ultimately, across a collapsing world on his quest for vengeance. The world is not what you see. And neither is Joe.

AMY: Thank you for joining me. What else would you like to share with us regarding your book?

JJ: False World, the second book in the Joe Daniel’s trilogy, picks up where the first book, False Positive, ends. We begin in the town of Normal and end up on the other side of the world.

AMY: Were there any surprises that came about while you were writing False World, or did your story stick with the plan you had set?

JJ: I wrote the ending first, then the beginning. To fill in the middle (the meat of the story), I kept asking myself how I would handle certain situations. I was surprised at my own answers.

AMY: What inspired you to write this book or these particular characters?

JJ: I was inspired by the writer’s eternal question, what if? What if everything in the world was controlled? What if war was really a conglomerate run like a co-op? My main character is based on a composite of military men I’ve known (including my father and brother) and partly from my own inner soldier.

AMY: Tell the readers about your writing journey and how you ended up with your publisher.

JJ: I’ve written short stories most of my life. From 2003 to 2005, eleven of my short stories were featured on Rutger Hauer’s website along with stories from other inspiring writers. In 2007, I entered a writing contest. Although I didn’t win, my story interested my current publisher, Second Wind Publishing. The rest is history!

AMY: If there is one piece of advice you could give an unagented / unpublished author, what would it be?

JJ: Never, ever stop writing, whether it’s for family, friends, or the world.

AMY: Besides False World, which we highlighted here, have you published other books or are there some that are yet to be released?

JJ: The first book in the trilogy, False Positive, was published in October, 2008. I’ve been published in Second Wind’s Romance Anthology, Love is on the Wind, and in the Mystery Anthology, Murder in the Wind. I have many books I’m working on right now in different genres: romance, sci-fi, horror, drama, non-fiction, and humor. And of course, more mystery/thriller/suspense novels.

AMY: How can we find you on the internet (facebook, twitter, myspace, blog, website addresses)
