What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Slender Man (P.I. Jack Marconi Book 3)?
In general, I have no plan before I start writing. But I had been toying with writing about a crooked politician for a long time. I think I succeeded in exposing the true nature of most of today’s corrupt political class. PI Jack Marconi succeeds in taking one such man down in typical tough-guy-with-grace Marconi style.
What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
I’m a sucker for all things noir and hardboiled. I love the action/adventure genre too. In fact, my bestselling indie series, The Chase Baker Thriller Series, is reminiscent of Indiana Jones. During the summer of 1981, I saw Raiders of the Lost Ark no less than ten times at the theater. I knew then my true calling in life.
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
Sleepless City, Reed Farrell Coleman; Sex, Thugs, and Rock & Roll, edited by Todd Robinson; Henry Miller on Writing.
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
All of them. I love my job.
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
None. I’m a full-timer, which makes writing the job I do day in and day out. I wake up, make the coffee, and begin writing before eight AM. If I have a freelance assignment, I make time for that too. I love being my own boss and having the opportunity to travel where I want, when I want. I can always bring my work with me.
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
You only get one life. Live it according to your own rules.
