Interview with an Author - Chad Descoteaux

• Tell me a little about yourself, personally.

My name is Chad Descoteaux. I'm the CEO and sole employee of Turtle Rocket Books. I write sci-fi novels and short stories that combine relatable characters with fantastic sci-fi adventures. I'm from Rhode Island (USA) I'm married and I have Aspergers.

• What is the name of the book or books you have published?

The Inter-Terrestrial, The Tattler, The Exoskeleton Chronicles, Working-Class Superheroes, and Veganarchy. All of these books, except for Veganarchy, have at least one sequel (11 books altogether) and will be a trilogy when I am done. Veganarchy is a one-shot, no sequels.

• Where can they be found?

My official website turtlerocketbooks.com, Amazon and Smashwords.

• Do you have any current WIPs?

I am working on the third book in the Tattler series called The Tattler: Cancelled.

• How are they going?

Great! I have a strong rough draft that I'm excited about.

• What got you into writing?

Being bored in a high school study hall twenty years ago and writing a crazy story about Godzilla style monsters to make this kid laugh.

• What keeps you focused?

Good question. I have to struggle to focus, but as long as I'm not ridiculously tired, I manage.

• What gives you inspiration?

The world around me. Things I have something to say about or want to goof on.

• How do you battle writer’s block?

By stepping away from writing until something in real life inspires me.

• Did you decide on traditional or self publishing?

Self-publishing.

• What made you make that choice?

To have the creative freedom necessary to merge the four trilogies I intend to write (and Veganarchy) into a literary sci-fi multiverse with the fourth Tattler book. 14 books altogether.

• How does it feel to be considered an author?

Great. I love telling stories.

• What’s your social media platforms for people to find you?
