Can you survive the night when a murderous competition arrives in a small East Texas town with one road in and no way out?
What is the hardest part of writing your
books?
I find it difficult to keep my
other projects quiet in my mind while writing.
I have a lot of concepts rattling around and sometimes they speak up
quite loudly. Sometimes it means that
story gets folded in, sometimes it goes in a file of story ideas.
What songs are most played on your Ipod?
Dare You to Move by Switchfoot is ALWAYS on play. I develop a Spotify playlist for writing my
books, and with my current work in progress, I’ve been listening to Last Pale
Light in the West (Ben Nichols), Something in the Orange (Zach Bryan), The
Night We Met (Lord Huron and Phoebe Bridgers), and lots of 70s Rock like the
Eagles and Allman Brothers.
Do you have critique partners or beta
readers?
Not at this point. I do have some
people I bounce ideas off of, fellow writers and teachers (I’m a high school AP
history teacher).
What book are you reading now?
Chasing the Devil by Dave Reichert.
It’s a true crime about the search for the Green River Killer, and I’m
reading it for research on my work in progress.
I wanted to understand a detective’s mindset when hunting a serial
killer, because that’s the plot of my book.
How did you start your writing career?
I began writing in high school, but didn’t publish a book until I was
thirty-nine. Before that, I began
writing education blogs when I started teaching. I wrote about classroom practices,
educational issues, and educational philosophy for a few years before deciding
to write a book. My first book was
non-fiction, about education- and it was not great. I pressed on and went to fiction, and now I
write in multiple genres.
Tell us about your next release.
I just published KillU, the sequel to Killtown. It’s part two of a trilogy, called the
Killogy- so that’s coming in the next couple years. My work in progress is a mystery/detective novel that paranormal
elements…or is it? It plays on the
juxtaposition between psychology and religion, what is real and what is in your
head. It is set in the Colorado
mountains with a lead that is a little bit Raylan Givens from Justified and a
little bit Dean Winchester from Supernatural.
I enjoy writing thrillers, and see this particular book being an
open-ended series.
