Interview
What websites do you visit daily?
Well goodreads is kind of a given isn’t it? I also use Facebook
a lot… I enjoy reading and goodreads is where I can discuss my current MM reads
or whatever.

What do you enjoy most about writing?
Everything. Love the anticipation, fear almost, at the beginning
of the story, enjoy finding out what happens to the characters that are running
around in my head… I swear sometimes they even surprise me! And then that moment
where you type in THE END and just let go…

If you could choose anyone to be your mentor who would it
be?
be?
Well like I said, big fan of reading, so I love Dostoevsky –
just feels like he captures the essence of despair – of angst – and among the new
MM authors I love Lisa Henry, JA Rock and Rachel Haimowitz.

If you could give the younger version of yourself advice what
would it be?
would it be?
Well, I used to write ever since I can remember. But in the middle
I got distracted, after high school everyone started talking about careers in terms
of lucrative and future prospects and everything and that’s where I ended up making
the biggest mistakes of my life: I should have started writing MUCH sooner.

What is your work ethic when it comes to writing?
I’m sort of a binge writer…I get periods where the good old writer’s
block hits me but usually, a good enough book or a movie or watching a TV show that
I love will take care of it and the inspiration is soon striking again. Sometimes
I also deal with writer’s block by moving on to another project and then I will
go back to the previous one when I’m back into it.

How do you cope with stress as an author?
Stress is something everyone has to deal with I guess. But again,
my usual remedy always works: movies, books, chocolate!

What kind of books do you read when taking a break from your
own writing?
own writing?
Read a whole lot of MM. Obviously I love the darker stuff. But
I also read Noir books and classics like Dostoevsky and Oscar Wilde are my favorites.
I also happen to be a fan of Proust and Somerset Maugham.

What was the proudest moment of your life so far?
Well obviously The Prisoner becoming a best-selling new release!
When I opened the new release section and it was on 32 or something I flipped! I
couldn’t even believe it. And the reviews and the love I received for this one in
just a couple of weeks… it was unbelievable and yes, proudest moment of my life.

Imagine you get to go on a dream vacation, but you have only
one hour to pack and leave, and it starts as soon as you finish this interview.
What will you take with you and where will you go?

What do you like to do when you’re bored?
I never get bored. How can I? I don’t understand when people
say they’re bored, really I don’t. Because there are like a thousand books in the
world and like a million good movies I still haven’t watched…

If your life became a movie, who would you want to play you?
Ooooh Matt Bomer (Neal Caffrey from White Collar) haha. That
man is hot! That or Alexander Skarsgard. Actually on second thought I do believe
Christian Bale is like my alter ego or something!
