The Last Will and Testament of Harley and His Dog follows a sixteen-year-old genius who infiltrates an alien spacecraft, stopping their attack on Planet Earth. What was the inspiration for the setup of your story?

I’m a mathematician who came up with the framework for the PERFECT VIRUS and human-friendly AI that wouldn’t turn on people.

When creating Harley, did you have a plan for development and character traits, or did it grow organically as you were writing the story?

Harley is autobiographical. For example, the scene where he walks into a bar and says, “My dad can lick anyone in the house” is a reprise of my actual experience of doing that to a fellow tech worker in an actual biker bar.

What were some themes that were important for you to explore in this book?

The most important theme is that any alien invaders should be wary of our warlike nature as a species.

Is this the first book in the series? If so, when is the next book coming out, and what can your fans expect in the next story?

No series, but a theme. The next book (about 50% written) has aliens coming to Earth to eradicate human trafficking.
