Hey there. Just finished The Loop, and I must say, I loved it. It reminded me a lot of a book I thoroughly enjoy called Big Flies in some aspects the further I read into it. And I followed you on Bookshares and I can't wait for more from the Finches. Keep up the great work. Also, which character was the hardest to write a story in The Loop?

Hey Brandon, so sorry this took so long! Your question got lost and I just happened across it, so I apologize! I am thrilled you enjoyed "The Loop," and I will definitely be checking out "Big Flies."
The hardest character to write was probably Jimmy. Of all the characters, I think he makes the most dynamic (almost circular) arc. He really showcases how terribly flawed, hopeless, selfish, and brutal a human being can be, but also how that same person can quickly die to oneself, turn everything around, and really put family first when pushed into a deadly corner. It's hard to put a pin on what Jimmy finds most important in life until that very thing is threatened, so I think he was the hardest (but the most fun) to write.
The Finches (what's left of them) will be back very, very soon. I am currently penning the sequel, titled "That Which Was Golden." This time, the story will be set in Colorado near the Rocky Mountain National Park, years after the final chapter of "The Loop." Based on the title, can you guess who the main character will be?...
I also just released my second mystery thriller, an exciting standalone set in the wild Alaskan wilderness, called "Three Houses on a Hill." Check it out if you haven't already!
