As some of you may know, I'm a member of the International Thrillers Association. One author in the association, Elena Hartwell, hosts the blog "Arc of the Writer" and asked me to talk about writing dark/gritty thrillers.

She had a lot of interesting questions for me, including:

Research for writing a novel, why I choose first-person narration, how I get in the mindset for gritty writing, and even advise for aspiring authors.

If you're in a mood for a pretty good interview on thriller novels (and how an author writes one!) I would suggest checking it out. :3
