Featured Interview With Author Robert J. Emery (pen name R.J. Eastwood
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was born and raised in the wonderful little town of Bristol, Rhode Island. All these years later we reside in Tampa, Florida. No, no pets in this house other than my lovely wife of 62 years.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I began writing short stories around the age of 12. Fortunately, I had a teacher who would read them and encourage me to keep writing. I've been writing every since. I spent 4-decades in the motion picture and TV industries as a writer, producer, and director. Eight motion pictures directed, and over 160 hours of TV documentaries. Although retired, I remain an active member of the Directors Guild of America. Upon my retirement I began writing books both fiction and nonfiction. My latest novel (MEGASTAR) is my 9th publication.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I like nonfiction books although I have read Hemingway, Harold Robbins, Tom Clancy, and others. I am inspired by all of them.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
As I said, MEGASTAR is my 9th publication, my third novel. I had a lot of fun writing this book. My idea was to write about one man's life from his birth to his death.
Here is the synopsis.
With a twist of fate and a bit of kismet, nineteen-year-old Addison Stone stumbles upon solace when he discovers his extraordinary singing voice that brings him international fame and fortune. As he climbs the ladder to musical acclaim, he finds he is unprepared for his success. His memories remain tethered to his turbulent childhood having been raised by a mentally unstable mother who was abused as a child herself and has passed her demons onto Addison leaving him emotionally scarred.
But amidst the blinding lights and thunderous applause, Addison falls in love with a young woman named Hanna and she with him. As Addison’s star continues to rise, soon there is a deafening silence as he loses Hanna’s love to his addiction to his new-found fame and fortune. Emotionally crushed, he vows to win her back.
Journey behind the scenes through the ups and downs and demands of international stardom as “MEGASTAR” takes you on a captivating odyssey.
