This month I featured Daddydavek's first story on the site, Dean Warner Intrigues. This story has been called absolutely wonderful and great by reviewers. What did you think? Make sure you share your thoughts about this story below, but first enjoy my interview with Daddydavek!

Who do you like best, Jerry or Tom?
Neither. Tom is an oxymoron in that he is portrayed as a somewhat lovable bully doomed to fail. Jerry is a diminutive smart alec that loves to turn the tables on the bully. It makes for great sight gags and the cartoons were well received and are classics.
The cartoon figure I liked best was Snoopy.

Have you ever gone out in public, realized your shirt is on backwards, and just don’t care?
I must be incredibly anal, but no, never!

If you were writing a book about your life, what would the title be?
“A Work in Progress” or “Still Enjoying new experiences”

Name one entity that you feel supported you in your writing endeavors outside of family members.
The internet is the best research tool around if used carefully.

Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?
Getting the dialogue 'in character' and keeping it that way.

Did something specific inspire you to write Dean Warner Intrigues?
I read a lot and noted there were so many stories of young adults with a tortured past filled with hate and/or abuse. I wanted to write something that had more positive relationships.

So, when I was thinking about writing it, I wanted a story that wasn't full of teenage angst. I knew the story had to have some tension as I didn't think I could write characters that were so engaging that characterization could carry the story. DWI was the result. While my computer history goes back to the early 1980's and a Commodore 64 which then graduated to Windows 3.0 and continued with Windows 95, 98, 98 second edition, Win2000, Windows Millennial, and Windows 7, I remain a user, not a programmer or a network tech guy. My point is that I'm sure a techie would shoot all kinds of holes in parts of my story.

If you could give advice to yourself when you first started writing Dean Warner Intrigues, what would it be?
Don't always over think it so much. Sometimes you just got to spin your yarn and see where it leads.

Did the characters or the plot come to you first?
The characters, all who are an amalgamation of my own invention based on my sixty plus years of reading everything from Aristotle (On memory and reminiscence) to Zelazny (The Chronicles of Amber).

What was your favorite scene to write in this story?
Being a rather dirty old man, I enjoyed writing the love scenes and hope I didn't go into too much detail, but it was a story of discovering love too. However, my favorite chapter is the epilogue where I wrapped up the story. It was short, but sweet.

Can you share a little of your current work with us?
I'm divided between doing a story about the red headed Sean from DWI and a look back story by Bill from Abel III's Awakening after he and Steve come into their powers.....

Neither story thread has made it into a working outline that I like, so I'm letting them percolate while I continue to catch up on the many hundreds of books on my Kindle...
