Interview
What is the hardest part of writing
your books?
I would say outlining.
Structure is extremely important to me and getting it just right is a time
consuming process that can take months or even years. If the outline is solid
though, you can cling to it no matter what goes wrong, like a raft during a
typhoon.
What songs are most played on your
Ipod?
I wouldn’t say any
specific song but the artists that show up with some frequency are Peter
Gabriel, Tori Amos, Leonard Cohen, Counting Crows, Billie Myers and Tom Waits.
Do you have critique partners or
beta readers?
I have an unusual
process in that my novels are written in screenplay form first. I find writing
it in screenplay form distills the story and the characters into its purest
essence. Screenplays are structure so if once I have the screenplay tight,
sixty percent of my work is already done. My beta readers read various drafts
of that script and they are a combination of friends, producers, professional
script readers, screenwriters and managers that I have gotten to know over the
years.
What book are you reading now?
I am just about to
start “The Center Cannot Hold” by Elyn Saks.
How did you start your writing
career?
I started as a
screenwriter and was actually admitted to the graduate programs at USC and AFI
but couldn’t bear to leave Michigan. I stayed here and decided to write fiction
instead.
It’s a character
driven mystery thriller about a paranoid schizophrenic who is convinced he
witnesses a kidnapping. When the police won’t believe him, he enlists his
retired next door neighbor to help him investigate.
