Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Greg Scott The idea for "Bullseye Breach" brewed for years inside my head. It came from being ignored, ridiculed, and thrown out of too many places for bringing up the topic of IT security. If I could write an entertaining story, then maybe, just maybe, a few people will read it and maybe we can get rid of some of these sensational data breaches we've all seen recently.

How do you get inspired to write?

Greg Scott There are always things I want to say. Inspiration usually comes from a current event in an area I know something about. The latest fashion trend? I couldn't care less and have nothing intelligent to offer. But, say, the latest data breach? I'll probably have plenty to say about that. See my blog at http://www.infrasupport.com.

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Greg Scott I'm still and aspiring writer myself. Once my book climbs over break-even, then I'll be in a position to offer advice. The advice given to me was, read and study material on how to properly tell a story. Books recommended to me were Stephan King's memoir, Robert McKee "On Story," "The Artful Edit," and some others.

I'm learning more about marketing. There are too many writers and too few readers and the world is awash in advertising and marketing. So marketing a new book from an unknown author is a daunting task.
