๐๐๐๐ฉ ๐ ๐ฌ๐ง๐๐ฉ๐: I have been fortunate to write multiple genres, but I always come back to thrillers. I like mixing thrillers with action, mystery, crime, adventure. Fun stuff.
๐๐๐๐ฉ ๐ ๐ง๐๐๐: I read thrillers, sci-fi, comics, media tie-ins, and pretty much anything that grabs my attention. If I fall in love with a character, I’ll be back for the entire series.
๐๐๐ซ๐ค๐ง๐๐ฉ๐ ๐๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ง๐จ: Harry Bosch, Maggie O’Dell, Alex Cross, Dianne Fallon, Domino Lady, Thor, Captain America, Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon, Shane Scully, the list could go on and on…
๐๐๐๐ฉ ๐ฅ๐๐ค๐ฅ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐ญ๐ฅ๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐ง๐ค๐ข ๐ข๐ฎ ๐จ๐ฉ๐ค๐ง๐๐๐จ: I like my stories to move. Character is key so I get to know them first. Dropping my characters into an action/thriller plot and seeing how they get out of it is my favorite thing.
๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ก๐ฎ ๐๐ซ๐๐ง ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ง ๐๐ฃ๐๐๐ฃ๐?: Sometimes. Yeah. Not always though.
๐๐ก๐ค๐ฉ๐ฉ๐๐ง ๐ค๐ง ๐ฅ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐จ๐๐ง: I’m somewhere in the middle. I have a very loose plot. I know certain things that have to happen, but I let the characters determine how we get there. This allows for some interesting character developments and even a few twists and surprises. I can’t stand the word “Plantser” so I joke that they call me Captain Plotty-Pants!
๐๐ช๐๐ก๐๐จ๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ค๐๐ก๐จ: I’m a hybrid author. I write for publishers and also have my own indie press, BEN Books. I am working to make BEN Books grow, but I still enjoy working with publishers as well, especially when writing characters I don’t own. One of my long-term goals is that I would like to see the words “New York Times Bestselling Author” appear before my name.
๐๐๐ซ๐ค๐ง๐๐ฉ๐ ๐๐ช๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ง๐จ: That could be a long list. I’ll keep it short. Michael Connelly, Alex Kava, Gary Phillips, Van Allen Plexico, Beverly Connor, Michael Crichton, Ed Brubaker, Paul Bishop, and more. Many more.
๐๐ง๐๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐จ๐ค๐ฃ๐๐ก๐๐ฉ๐ฎ: Writer like the wind.
๐๐ง๐๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฉ๐ค๐ค๐ก๐จ: I’m a simple guy. I write in MS Word on my laptop.
