Smashwords Interview

When did you first start writing?
I wrote my first story in High School. It was about a teenager torn between his parents and his new girlfriend. he hangs himself at the end. My teachers liked it, but I didn't write more until college.
In college, I worked for my college magazine. I had two stories printed there. I also wrote the first of my John Pentgram stories. Pentgram is a detective who is bitten by a werewolf. Since then, I have written a dozen stories about Pentgram and his Paranormal adventures.
What's the story behind your latest book?
The Curious Journey of Emily Breck is the story of a young woman who dies seven times during the novel's run. Her adventures take her from a dirty apartment in Manhattan to Port Charlotte, Florida. Each time she dies, her hair gets darker and she gets more intelligent.
Her deaths all come via a different story genre type. Without spoiling anything, she is killed by a life-sucking ghost, Men In Black, a demon, and a pair of homicidal farmers. the story is filled with humor and never gets gruesome or too dark. Along the way, she finds romance with guys she almost always crashes into.
Emily is an optimist who keeps moving forward no matter what happens to her. She learns to face her death with a sense of humor because she knows she'll come back seconds later. during her short lives, she makes friends and makes the most of every situation.
The story came from a bad head cold I had in April 2020. I woke up and wrote down some notes and went to bed. In the morning, I looked at my notes and started to write. In ten months, I had a 750-page book. Eight chapters and seven lives. I spent a year editing and correcting it. I am now searching for an agent for Emily Breck.
