Interview

Literary Titan posted my author interview this past week about First Step and I enjoyed the chance to answer a few questions in written form. The questions about the inspiration for the story and whose narrative voice came to me first (Eve or Ray) allowed me to encapsulate some of what I’ve written here previously. I didn’t go into all the details of casting Eve adrift on the ocean of Primis for several months or a draft where she and Guion tried to survive while the comatose Colt kept getting washed down a river (really). The last question in the interview asked if there’d be another book in the First Step universe. That’s a good question. The short answer - go read the full interview - is that I don’t have current plans to write another and the question allowed me to pimp The Drop series. I left the door cracked at the end of First Step for another story with those characters, but I don’t have one right now. Inspiration could certainly strike at any time. I obviously have a liking for Lewis and Eve and Ray and Gladys and the supporting cast, so maybe I’ll return to their world someday. Anyway, answering the questions was a nice diversion. And as I mentioned earlier, go read it.
