Makes me feel like an underachiever, here I am almost 34 and mostly just small press and ezine credits under my belt.

One writer you could invite is Jonathan Maberry, who has posted here in the past and is considered a rising star in the horror genre. GHOST ROAD BLUES was a blast to read.

The signed first editions are pretty pricey. Somehow, my work has become quite collectible over the years. I am stunned at the prices some people will pay for some of my books. It's actually very moving and makes me feel good, but damn ... some of those books are expensive!
I will turn 46 in December. I was 23 or 24 when I wrote LIVE GIRLS. I started writing stories at about the same time I learned to write. I wrote my first full-length novel with a beginning, middle, and end and characters who evolved over the course of the story when I was in the seventh grade. It SUCKED, of course, but it was a novel, heh-heh. I loved doing it so much, I kept at it. By the time I sold SEDUCTIONS, I like to think I was better at it, and I hope I've improved since then. As for interacting with my readers -- I live for it! Writing is a very solitary occupation. I sit here in my office and type and type and type, and sometimes it's easy to forget that people actually READ this stuff! I can't tell you how good it feels to learn that someone enjoyed something I wrote -- it means the world to me. As an avid reader my whole life, I know how much pleasure a book can bring, and if something I've written does that for someone, I'm very, very happy. It's really the only reason I do this. |

I've also been writing since I could write, my first stories these little one page rip-offs. I just get off on telling stories, and I love hearing from other writers about their experiences.
