My book is a revenge crime thriller with a fair amount going on that took a long time to come into being. The very first thought of this book ever, I was waiting for a friend who dragged me shopping. I was seconds away from from hanging myself in a clearance rack with a designer belt, when I noticed the zipper on my jacket -"YKK" manufactured the zipper. I remembered as kid on the playground at school and they made every zipper and now years later, I was like at the end of a story, what if a main character gets stuck in his jacket and can't get to his gun.... it cracked me up and from that a much more elaborate story was born.

I just really want to tell fun stories that appeal to non-readers and readers alike. The two groups fight like sworn enemies and I just want to bring peace. One day non-readers and readers will put down their weapons and hold hands, each with an iPad or Kindle or Paperback (maybe?) and just read something cool... together.

I'm a third through the first draft of my next book. It's a tale of intertwining stories that has turned into a Gordian Knot of sorts.

Just do it. I hope Nike doesn't sue me.

It's between carpal tunnel and trying convince people to check out your work without sounding like an encyclopedia salesman.

Like I would a creditor. Don't answer any phone calls or answer any doors. Sneak around and stay ahead of it. Do anything and everything to make it as difficult as possible to find me.
