Goodreads asked Kevin Wright:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Kevin Wright The best thing about being a writer is that you get to create a whole world -- a whole new mythos -- and then play with it. As one person told me, "Reading your books is like reading a movie!" and that's just the way I wanted it.

I mean, where else are you going to be able to play with vampires, real-life Chicago gangs, old pulp characters, medieval knights, rakshasas, sci-fi movies, Native American legends, and a pink umbrella, all in the same universe? To keep it all straight when I'm writing, I actually have a timeline of this universe mapped out from 39,000 BC to three hundred years in our future, and it's over 50 pages long.
