With Lost Angeles I’ve attempted to tell a story that’s true, and honest. As a roman á clef novel there’s a degree of real life experience involved in the creation of the book and a degree of narrative driven artistic license. The key to my writing is trying to find a way to marry the two and still keep the emotional honesty where it all stemmed from.
What Advice Would You Give Aspiring Writers?
Listen to the voices in your head. The doubt will make you a better writer if you don’t let it cripple you with fear.
