Q&A with J. Gabriel Gates discussion

Does my writing style remind you of anyone else's? If so, whose?

I think your writing style is very unique! Hmmm, if I had to pick anyone it reminds me of I would have to say Dean Koontz. I got this impression after finishing The Sleepwalkers, because you guys can both write scary, intense stories - but they also carry a strong sense of the endurance, strength, and courage of the human spirit (which I think is really important) and also humor as well. :)

Thanks, Branwen. Your comment was a compliment on several levels!

You're very welcome! :)

Being scared is half the fun, though, right? A horror book that isn't scary would be like a rollercoaster without any drops or turns.

ya dats true...

I find your writing style and ideas to be very clever and witty just like Rick Riordan. I had to throw Rick because if not for being a Percy Jackson fan I may never had gotten a recommendation from BN.com to read Dark Territory.

Hi Frank,

Thanks, I'll certainly take a Rick Riordan comparison. I haven't read a ton of his stuff, but I liked what I read. And he has sold a few million books, so that's a plus!
