"I like being entertained," the author said, "so I realize my first responsibility as a storyteller is to entertain the reader. I try to create interesting characters and imaginative plots and have them spiral and wrap around each other upward in an inverted pyramid as the story develops," the writer noted. "I want each novel to be a fun reading experience for its targeted audience." Jay Dubya has had many literary influences including Kurt Vonnegut, Jack London, Arthur Conan Doyle, Edgar Allan Poe, O. Henry, H.G. Wells and Mark Twain. "I owe a lot to my deceased literary mentors and especially to Kurt Vonnegut's 'Breakfast of Champions'," the author admitted.
