Q: Does your work attract many female readers?
A: When initially writing Bleach, I never considered my audience, not for one minute was this important to my writing of this book. Given this, I was pleasantly surprised when I found female readers enjoyed Bleach, and also the sequel, Blackout.
This book explores dealing with life in the present, whether it be through addiction, sex, or inane conversations around relationships. These issues are not gender related, but rather generation related. As Jeremy, the main character in Bleach states, “I grew up during the eighties and nineties sandwiched between the ME generation and generation X. I want money—I just don’t want to work for it.”
So far I have been overwhelmed by the positive response for Bleach/Blackout. I consider myself very lucky to be able to write the stories I want and make them available to those interested. The stories are written at break neck speed with pop culture and obscure references throughout. It’s as if you are reading a screenplay in paragraph format, but will not realize it until you are knee deep in it.
Q: Where can readers purchase a copy of Bleach/Blackout?
A: You can find the book at Amazon.com and on the publisher’s Web site.
Q: What’s up next for you?
A: In November my novella, Hollywood Ending, will be published by Brown Paper Publishing. I have just finished a novel and am working to complete a second collection of short stories.
