Smashwords Interview

What is your writing process?
I try to write for at least two hours a day. I spend at least an hour researching topics that are included in my stories.
How do you approach cover design?
For my second novel, I enlisted the help of a local graphic artist. I sat down with her and gave specific instructions as to what I wanted the tone of the cover to be: dark, mysterious, somewhat violent, just like the story.

Smashwords book reviews by Christopher McGarry

  • I Am: Emptiness on June 17, 2015

    Chilling, Unique Read ‘I Am Emptiness’ is one of the most interesting fiction novels I have picked up in quite a long time. The tone of the story is quite unsettling at times and also dark. I enjoyed getting to know the main characters, particularly Robert, Emma and Miriam. The author’s sense of description is impeccable, as is his ability to use the English language. Overall, ‘I Am Emptiness’ is an outstanding book. I enjoyed it from beginning to end. If you have time, pick it up. You won’t be disappointed.
