GUEST POST
Where were you born and grow up? And, for those who don't know you already, tell something about yourself and how you became an author?
I was a Midwestern kid living in Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, Michigan, and Indiana by the time I was eighteen. Then I joined the Navy and really started traveling. While I was stationed in Hawaii, I met my British-born wife. Coincidentally, my next set of orders were to Scotland. I asked Wendy to come with me as my fiancée, she agreed, and we got married there by a Glaswegian Justice of the Peace that neither one of us could understand. We each said "I do" when we thought he asked us that question. In the end, he gave us a marriage certificate—so we must have got it right.
After leaving the Navy in 1990 we moved to Seattle. Neither of us had ever lived there but it seemed a cool place to live. But in 1992 we returned to the UK for that "European way of life." After owning a tearoom (an American running an English tearoom, now that was a hoot) we sold the business and I went into property renovation. In America, it's called "flipping houses." A phrase I detest because it makes it sound easy and it's anything but. Then the big bust of 2008/09 came and the world crashed into recession, especially the housing market. While I looked for a real job, I began writing—not to make money, but to pass the time—and I got hooked.
In 2014 my parents were taken ill in and we returned to Minnesota to look after them. My dad subsequently died and my mom went into nursing care suffering from Alzheimer's. In 2018 we returned to England to live out the rest of our lives. I, the American, was happy in England. My wife, the Brit, wanted to return to America. No prizes for guessing who won that argument and in 2019 we returned to Minnesota where we currently reside. For now.
What do you do to unwind and relax?
I play golf.
Do you have a favorite movie?
I love comedies. I'd have to cite Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Stripes, Trading Places, My Cousin Vinny to name just a few.
What is something unique/quirky about you?
I've been told I have an accent—and I'm told that no matter where I am. The Americans think I have an English or perhaps an Australian accent. The Brits think I sound American—or possibly Canadian. No matter where I go, everyone thinks I'm a bloody foreigner!
Tell us something really interesting that's happened to you!
While I was stationed in Scotland—I was there to repair US nuclear submarines along with 1500 other American sailors—a movie company sent word to the ship requesting six guys to play CIA agents in a movie. The only requirement was you had to be six-foot tall. I volunteered and got selected. Every morning for five days, six of us drove to a small Scottish town, Inveraray, some 30 miles away. I don't know why they needed Yanks as we all had non-speaking parts. All we did was stand in the background either wearing suits or kilts. We had to be on the set from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and most days we simply waited to be called to stand in the background of a camera shot. We were paid £20 (about $30) per day. BUT, (a) we got out of fixing submarines for the week, and (b) the movie starred Michael Caine and Roger Moore and directed by Michael Winner (Director of the Deathwish movies with Charles Bronson). So every day we rubbed shoulder with some Hollywood elites. If you know the right split-seconds to look you can see me standing in the background. The movie is entitled Bullseye and it is probably the worst movie any of those three ever made! It's pathetic!
What are some of your pet peeves?
a) Businesses that swear blind that we are important to them yet do everything they can to avoid talking to us.
b) Know-it-alls
c) Political Correctness
d) Wearing pajamas in public
Who is your hero and why?
As a kid growing up it was O.J. Simpson, but that ship kind of capsized. As I prepared to leave the Navy, I earned an Associate Degree with the University of Maryland in Business & Management. I wanted to get out of the service and be a corporate climber in the business world. I read Lee Iacocca's autobiography and his second book, Talking Straight. He was fired from the Ford Motor Company as CEO and became the CEO of the Chrysler Corporation in the 1980s when they were facing certain bankruptcy. He turned the company around and made it the successful powerhouse it is today. I admire his tenacity in the face of adversity—and he wrote three books.
What kind of world ruler would you be?
Probably a crap one. I don't lie well enough.
Which of your novels can you imagine made into a movie?
All of them. When I write I see the scenes unfolding in my head projecting onto a screen. The mental visualizations help me write. Not that I'm claiming any blockbusters, but that's what makes it real in my mind.
Travis was brought up in Midwest America before embarking on a nine year Navy career that allowed him to travel the world and learn about life. He has ping-ponged across oceans moving from mainland United States to Hawaii, to Scotland, to Seattle, to England, to Minnesota, back to England, and back to Minnesota where he currently resides ... for now
He writes easy-reading, light-hearted fiction and "You couldn't make it up" true stories about his own experiences. Relax by the beach or curl up on the couch on a rainy day while Travis takes you on fun-filled adventures that let you forget about life for a while and have a laugh.
