What is it?

A rather longish short story... just for fun.

You haven't abandoned your other stuff?

No. I got stuck on both of them and am writing something fun to get back in the habit.

Where is Case: Black?

It's happening but I bit off a lot more with that project than I though. I'm having to do some research and some other stuff to keep it real.

How about Operation Hammerhead?

The next installment of that will be several chapters at once. It's coming to a climax and I don't want to leave my readers hanging too long.

Back to Adventureland- It seems to be a real departure from what you've done before. Are you concerned about jumping genres?

Not really. I like the freedom to write in any genre that interests or inspires me. To me writing is writing and the same things that go into Sci-fi works in thrillers or mysteries. I think the publishing industry gives people the idea that you can only write in one genre. What they don't tell you is that there are authors who write in several genres at once under different pen-names.

What are you doing with Adventureland?

We've all seen the work of urban explorers. Some of the creepiest places on the planet are abandoned amusement parks. What better place for suspense, jeopardy for characters and the itch of curiosity that you just must scratch. That's what drives the urban explorers. That curiosity and a desire to connect to the past.

Why have you written Tony so dumb?

Antonio Sanchez isn't dumb. He's a kid. He is a little younger than his friend Ross and doesn't have his head stuck in the books like Ross does. You'll find out more about them in coming chapters and find that, as friends often do, they have strengths and weaknesses that compliment each other.

You're really going to finish this one?

Yes. It's not my signature space-opera or a potential global pandemic. I think I can get this one done for early summer.

See. I said they were creepy.
