What are some great tips for aspiring authors?
Craig A. Hart Read a lot. Inside your genre and out of it. Pay attention to what makes you want to turn the page, and when you decide to put the book down. Know that it's okay to write badly. And that writing rules are tools, not laws. And work to finish things. An imperfect completed novel or stories will teach more than twenty perfect opening chapters or paragraphs.

Hi Craig, the Maxwell Barnes series is my introduction to your work. I've loved the series, are you planning to write any more books for these characters? I'd keep reading as long as you keep writing about them!
Craig A. Hart Yes, indeed! I am writing the next one, Tibetan Gambit, now. It should be out this summer. Thanks for reading!

This question contains spoilers... (view spoiler)
Craig A. Hart Olá! Comecei a escrever quando criança e simplesmente continuei desenvolvendo a habilidade. Então a Amazon lançou a plataforma de publicação de e-books e eu entrei. A partir daí, continuei construindo minha plataforma de autor e ganhando leitores. Demorou vários anos, mas valeu a pena.

What’s the best thing about being a writer?
Craig A. Hart There aren't that many things I love about being a writer. It's hard work--the hardest I've ever done--and it's lonely. Working to get rid of those demons is tough. On the other hand, those moments when things come together on the page yields a euphoria that is impossible to beat with any other high. That's what I live for as a writer.

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?
Craig A. Hart Buckle in for the long haul. Overnight success is for the movies (or maybe the book you're writing). If you're meant to be a writer, you'll write. You won't be able to help yourself. And if you're one of those people, then don't let anything or anyone tell you otherwise.

How do you get inspired to write?
Craig A. Hart I read. Writers should read at least as much as they write. Reading is indispensable for a writer. A writer who doesn't read...well, don't get me started.

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?
Craig A. Hart Becoming Moon has its roots in my own experience. It is not a memoir, but elements of the plot, particularly Part Two, are heavily influenced by my own life.

What are you currently working on?
Craig A. Hart I am currently working on a novel that, while not a sequel to Becoming Moon, is a variation on the themes of repressed desires, coming of age, and struggling to be oneself against the establishment.
