Smashwords Interview

Who are your favorite authors?
The Vagrant Mystery Series was inspired by the works of Raymond Chandler, Mickey Spillane, and Dashiell Hammett -- specifically the books, "The Long Goodbye", "Red Harvest", and "I, The Jury". As far as my favorite authors to pick up just for the joy of reading, the list is huge. I always go back to Douglas Adams, Tom Robbins, and Chuck Palahniuk.
Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
Haha. Yep. It was a terrible rip-off of Lord of the Rings. Right down to calling the main wizard, Gandwalf. I remember thinking the word "shop" was too basic, so I went to the thesaurus and came up with the word "emporium." So the wizard, Gandwalf, got his potions at a "magic emporium." It taught me early on that the fanciest word isn't always the best word.
