The Visitors follow two shapeshifting aliens observing Earth, who are horrified by what they see and travel back in time to try and intervene and save humanity. What was the inspiration for the setup of your story?

I wanted to write a story about my pet Dax. Aa the story evolved and I added Ptoni the Pteranodon my brain wandered off on a tangent and I decided to follow the anti-religion direction.

Your characters are diverse: two alien shapeshifters, a Maine Coon, an Adelie penguin, a cow, and even a Pteranodon, all working together. What was your approach to writing the interactions between characters?

It was an all in brawl. Each scene is written fly on the wall and the characters pretty much write themselves.

Is there any moral or idea that you hope readers take away from the story?

As Ptoni says in the closing chapters “Religion Your time is up.”

Will there be a follow-up novel to this story? If so, what aspects of the story will the next book cover?

Clearing my desk of two new books. (Adult Fiction – very adult concepts) and then I’ll enjoy the fun of ” The Visitors Book 2. It will take a critical look at religion, but it will be from a different angle.
