I love that very traditional fairy tale where it's not all 'happily ever after.' I like all that old school, bloody, 'Brothers Grimm' sort of stuff. So you have all those shades of gray in there. ↗

I think I get some of my love of adult books that can be fun from Douglas Adams. ↗

I think that's a hallmark of a really good story that it has readers that it speaks to more than others. ↗

I'm actually not a huge circus fan in the traditional sense, but I like a lot of the circus trappings of striped tents and caramel. I lean more towards Cirque du Soleil than Barnum and Bailey. ↗

I'm an emotional sort of person in general and I have a vivid imagination, so I feel the whole spectrum of emotion strongly when I write. ↗

I'm kind of big on performance in general. I like the sort of entertainment where you can go in and be fully immersed in it. ↗

I'm working on something that's not yet novel-shaped but is something of a film-noir-flavored 'Alice in Wonderland.' It will also very likely be a single volume story and not the start of a series. ↗

It is perhaps both a blessing and a curse that fictional worlds spring into my mind nearly fully formed and it takes quite a while to sift through everything to find the story. ↗

Plot is not my forte. It's like I have to live in my head in the book for a while before I figure out what the story is... My process is a bit messier. ↗

Sometimes I write what I can't paint, and I paint what I can't write. I use a different part of the brain. ↗
