Mac Evenstar is a novel craftsman specializing in fiction with a flair for suspense and a touch of the supernatural. When he's not spending time as a musician or old house fixer-upper, he enjoys sitting at his favorite bay window desk and bringing stories such as this one to life.

How do you deal with writer’s block?

But then come back. Writing is always hard. Always. Take rests when they're needed, but come back and try again. Keep trying.

That's what got me through the difficult parts of Come Six to Seven: giving myself permission to catch my breath, but not allowing myself to run from the story, at the same time.

A great song sure helps too.(less)

Watching the story unfold in front of me is one of the best parts of writing. There are magic moments in which I feel like a conduit more than a writer. I was simply present and faithful, and the story told itself. It doesn't get any better than that, and I think readers pick up on that genuine attempt to tell a story as faithfully as possible.

My other favorite part of being an author is seeing someone's face or hearing her/his voice when they "get it" after reading one of my works. That moment of connection is priceless. I enjoy seeing the story leave my hands and enter a reader's life and become theirs as much as mine. (less)
