Agent Van of the CIA is sent to an Australian underground military
surveillance base called Pine Gap. Agent Van finds himself thrown in
a conspiracy cover up of an ancient alien race known as species X. He
falls in love with Annika, a mysterious and uncommon woman who
displays unusual abilities, leading Van to question her own origin.
Mystery and horror explode around Agent Van during a cave diving
exhibition to search for a lost colleague referred to as Agent One.
The only clue for Agent Van and his team is a cryptic message carved
on a wall inside the bleak cave that reads “Agent One is gone. No
more Agent One.” Terror arrives as the agents are trapped inside
the ominous cave. Agent Van soon learns that there is more to Pine
Gap than Species X.

1: What kind of research do you do before you begin writing a
book?
I actually devoted two years to solid research before I
wrote Hybrid. It was imperative for me to include science and history-based
facts in this book. Hybrid is a complex story filled with ancient aliens, time
travel, hollow earth, alien autopsy, spelunking, radioactive weapons and a
secret military base in Australia known as Pine Gap. I included government
conspiracy theories along with creating four different environments, three new
alien species, and their complex system that makes up their bodies. Most of my
research was watching documentaries and the TV show Ancient Aliens. The other
half of my research was reading science articles and books, so I would have as
much accurate information in Hybrid as I could find. Hybrid has been by far the
most time consuming and intense book I’ve written yet.
2: What do you think about the current publishing market?
This is an important question to answer as an author. I see
the publishing market as being entirely online. Growing up I found books at
school, the local library, or the town bookstore. Over the years that has
drastically changed. Now I find all my books online via Amazon, Goodreads, or
other social media platforms. Having tools such as Instagram, websites, online
ads, online book tours, and Goodreads, it all markets our books on a broad
spectrum with the potential of reaching thousands of people all at once. I
personally hired a Social Media Assistant to help manage my Social Media page
so I can stay on top of promoting, but also have time to write my next books.
Social Media is a necessary evil, you need it, but it does consume most of your
time, taking away from writing. Authors today know how to hustle and work hard
to accomplish their dreams.
3: What inspired you to write this book?
I am the biggest fan of the TV show Ancient Aliens! I
moved to Singapore in 2010 and my only way to watch TV shows was through
Netflix. After the birth of my son I started watching Ancient Aliens during his
nap time. I saw my first episode and was hooked! By the end of the first season
I became inspired to write Hybrid. I spent the next couple years researching
anything I could find on Aliens, autopsies, time travel, hollow earth theory,
spaceships, cave diving, Pine Gap, etc. I combined different conspiracy
theories from the show, mixed with more government theories from other
documentaries and began to write the plot for Hybrid.
