Terrible book.

Hi Sterling,
Thanks so much for your question – it’s a tough one. What’s the criteria? I would say that Daybreak is a favorite of mine because in a way it took the most effort to complete. Buried Secrets and Truth or Dead best capture a style I aspire to: noir, fast-moving, with some humor. Dark Web, I think, works best on an emotional level. But Black Soul is a personal favorite because of what happens to the characters... See how hard this is? LOL

Christian! Great to hear from you. Others have read Daybreak as a standalone and enjoyed it. There are brief synopses of the first two books at the start of Daybreak. While I would probably recommend reading all three, I think if you're okay that you may not glean all of the backstory by reading Daybreak straight away, then have at it! Hope you're very well, sir! - TJB

It's a job and therapy at the same time!

I'm too superstitious to address this question. :)

I'm always learning. Somewhere there is a balance between writing what feels good to you and writing for your readers. Perhaps that is something to consider. Oh, and electronic cigarettes. While working you can puff til your heart's content and not upset the wife or the smoke alarm.

Good question...

Richard Wright said, "All literature is protest." Something that fascinates me, something that upsets me, something that gets me excited. And lately, my wife... She's got the best ideas!
T.J. Brearton
The ideas show up. I don't know from where, precisely, but they probably arise from current events, books, people, and good conversation. And dreams.
