Thanks for joining us on the list. We've discussed The
Confession quite a bit all year, so it's terrific for you to
be here.
I'm curious about your having two books published in such
short succession. For those of us who read hardboiled and
noir fiction all the time, they're drastically different, but
I would suspect most readers would classify them under the
generic Mystery or Crime Fiction label. If you don't mind
answering, how did this whole scenario come about?
I'm not a writer like many on this list, but I'm still
curious about your approach to the two books. I've often
heard writers say they consider short stories or poetry more
difficult than novels because they must worry more about
every last word in order to make the payoff at the end work.
The Confession strikes me as a novel that would fit this same
classification, whereas with Chasing the Dragon I wonder if
you had to balance the plot and characterization of the
current book while also building a foundation for future
books in the series. It will be a series, right?
And how does Chasing The Dragon fit against your Noir
Manifesto (if at all)?
Thanks again.
