What inspires you to write?
Dean Koontz when I was 12. My mother was and still is a huge horror reader and I started reading her paperbacks and I was hooked. As a full-time author I people watch and observe everything around me for new ideas.
Tell us about your writing process.
I am a pantser. I find an outline to be a creative killer for me. The most I will do is write a simple line in the next chapter, something like ‘Bob eats dinner and then kills the neighbors’ but never anything more than that. It is always subject to change, too. Sometimes the neighbor gets to live another chapter.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
The best characters I’ve ever written are those who dictate their actions to me and refuse to be led down a path. I sometimes find myself acting like a biographer than a fiction author.
What advice would you give other writers?
Read. A lot. Not just in your favorite genre and one you write in, either. Read anything and everything to find what is great and what is horrible and learn from it.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I try not to put all of my eggs in one basket, so I do self-publishing as well as working with small presses. I’ve recently gotten a crime thriller into the Kindle Scout program and gotten a contract, too. I try to keep all options open as much as possible and I’ll try anything once. Maybe twice.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I think it will continue to grow but slow down, which will help the long-term goals and hopefully shake out the authors who thought they’d get rich with their first book. I’d like to get rich with the next book, though.
