I write very dark, dialogue-oriented fiction. I want you to feel you’re in my characters world, not through the visuals, but through the interactions, and the distinctive consciousness of the narrators.
What Advice Would You Give Aspiring Writers?
Marry an editor. I hope you’re so lucky. There is nothing that will challenge you to perfect your art like knowing that your partner is aware of your work’s limitations.

Well, the inspiration is pretty varied. This is a collection of my earlier short stories. For years, I took inspiration from events in my life, stories on the news, or random ideas, with only one requirement: that I publish one story a week on my blog. I developed a lot of odd ideas, and tested my writing in a every genre I could.
