Excerpts
Author Bio
I live in Southern New Jersey with my amazing wife, who is also my best friend. We live just outside of Philadelphia and about an hour from an awesome selection of beaches. It was on a beach that I wrote my first short story and I love to spend as much time as possible there. There is something so invigorating about the sun and the blue skies.
While this is my first novel, I am already working on my second and hope to have many more to come. When not working on writing books or my blog I am a husband to an amazing woman, and a father to two fantastic young adults. I am also a corporate finance professional that spends the rest of my time helping executives and business leaders improve and grow their business. It is some of this experience, which has helped bring this story and the sequel to life
Hello, my name is Robert
Cutter and I am the owner and chief executive of Cutter & Co. an investment
firm in New York City.
Mika: Hello Robert.
Welcome to my blog. I’m going to ask you a few questions so my audience can get
to know you a little better.
What do you consider your
greatest achievement?
Robert Cutter: My
greatest achievement up until a couple of months ago was making something of
myself. I didn’t have much to start with. Thanks to my mentor for taking a
chance on me, I was able to accomplish more than I ever imagined. I now have
more money than I ever dreamed of, houses, cars, power, prestige, and women.
What is your idea of perfect
happiness?
Robert Cutter: It’s a
tough choice for me. Signing a deal to buy a company and adding it to my portfolio
or riding through the streets of Manhattan in my Aston Martin with a beautiful
woman beside me. Probably business first, the car is nice but I do enjoy the
challenge of turning around a struggling company and making it stronger.
Do you have any secrets you
want to share that were not revealed in Cutter?
Robert Cutter: No more
secrets for me, well you never know what might happen in book 2.
Do you have any siblings? If
so, will we have an opportunity to get to know them better?
Robert Cutter: I never knew
my parents, so I don’t know if I do have any siblings.
Any particular scene you
enjoyed the most?
Robert Cutter: Towards
the end of my story I learn something amazing that changes my outlook on parts
of my childhood, and even changes how I see the future me. It teaches me that
you should never lose hope in people.
What is the quality you most
like in a woman?
Robert Cutter: This
is hard for me to answer, because I never really give women much time. In my
life, my focus is on work. I run a multi-billion dollar investment firm with
many subsidiaries that are counting on me. That leaves very little time for
dating, but I do have lady friends. They are beautiful and I enjoy having them
around. I always found women to be more of a distraction than anything. (Exhales)
To answer your question, the best quality would have to be dealing with me not
settling down.
When did you know you were in
love with your heroine?
Robert Cutter: It took me
awhile to decide that I really loved her. But, we had a connection right from
the start. It was hard for me to accept these feelings because I really don’t
have the time for this in my life.
Did your story end too soon?
Robert Cutter: I am
hoping my story isn’t over.
What is your greatest fear?
Robert Cutter: Not having
money and being poor again.
What is your greatest
extravagance?
Robert Cutter: My house
in Cape May, although I don’t go there this time. I had it built for me and did
a take a part in the architecture and design, but I actually have not even seen
it yet.
Which living person do you most
despise?
Robert Cutter: I try not
to hate or despise anyone. In business you have to keep bridges open at all
times. But there is one person who constantly gets under my skin, you
will get to know him. I don’t really think he is a bad guy, but he put my
friends in danger, and that is unacceptable.
What is your greatest
regret?
Robert Cutter: My one
regret is that my mentor doesn’t get to see me succeed. He would have liked that
and hopefully he would be proud of me.
Which talent would you most
like to have?
Robert Cutter: I would
like to play a musical instrument, perhaps the piano.
Where would you like to
live?
Robert Cutter: I
live in Manhattan with a house in Cape May and stay in the best hotels in the
world. But, it does get cold here in the winters. I am not sure to be honest if
I could ever give up Manhattan, it is just so alive. Constantly moving like I
am with running and building my businesses.
What is the trait you most
deplore in yourself?
Robert Cutter: People say
that I am a workaholic, but considering how I grew up I just believe that a man
can never have too much. People have to make their own luck, and take their
chances when they get them. Sometimes it doesn’t work out, but so far it has
for me.
Who is your favorite hero of
fiction?
Robert Cutter: Gordon
Gekko. He was a genius.
Who are your heroes in real
life?
Robert Cutter: My real
life heroes are police and firefighters of New York who ran into the World Trade
Center, and protect us every day. I also think that the doctors and nurses in
our hospitals are incredible people. You will meet one in particular who stands
out above the rest.
Mika: Great interview
Robert. It was a pleasure meeting you. I wish you lots of success.
