Author Guess Who #25
Wow! Twenty five editions of Author Guess Who...
Plenty of fun has been had, many accusatory guesses, and countless acts of finger-pointing later, and AGW is still kicking! This month is no exception. What better way to celebrate than to participate. We have another mystery author with several answers that may or may not hint at their identity. Grab your detective hats, slip on that dusty foam finger from that random basketball game you went to ten years ago, and get ready to guess this author!

What sparked the writing fire? How did your author story begin?
I guess because I like to read so much. Stephen King’s ‘On Writing’ I believe, said if you want to be a writer, just write. So I did. Discovering nifty.org was the true spark.
Oh, dear! It seems you have stepped in a puddle of radioactive goop. What superpower would you like to contract from it?
Invisibility. I feel that way sometimes, may as well experience it for real.
Is there a genre of writing you haven't engaged in but want to?
Horror. I read a lot of it, but haven’t gotten a good enough idea.
After being kidnapped by a mafia boss, you give him a piece of information that's vital to his operation. As thanks, he brings you to a sandwich shop and tells you to order whatever you please. Describe your ideal sandwich.
Pastrami on rye, with yellow mustard, 3 inches high, extra bread, of course. Once had it at the Carnegie Deli in NY. Nothing else comes close.
Do you have a specific schedule or environment (physical and/or mental) to write? Any silly rituals? Got to have your favorite coffee?
No specific schedule, just as much as life allows. Environment, mainly my home office, but wherever I am with my phone works too. Coffee? Ick. Can’t even stand the smell.
Cue the intense music! No, like, this is super serious. You have one egg. How are you cooking it?
Over hard and putting it on a lightly toasted and buttered bagel. With provolone.
What is something you are beyond proud of in life?
Would the fact that I’m still even alive qualify? Other than that, my kids.
If you could live in the world of your favorite fiction novel/series, would you and which story is it?
Tough choice, but I’d have to lean toward Michael Connelly’s Los Angeles, somehow working with Hieronymus Bosch. The worlds of Lee Child’s Reacher or Jeffrey Deaver’s Lincoln Rhyme would come close.
Are you a dog or cat person?
Grew up a dog person, have cats now. So, both?
To finish off the interview, what's your favorite ice cream flavor?
Is there really more than one flavor? Chocolate. Hold the chunks of anything.
