Today's interview is with the main character of my psychological thriller. Thank you for joining us, Sam.

My pleasure, ma'am.

Are you fictional?

I live in your head, darling.

Where do you live?

Good ol' Tennessee.

When do you live?

I'm living in the here and now.

What should we know about you?

I'm no angel.

Okay, um, what's the title of your story and when will we read about it?

Cottonseeds. Reckon that's up to the folks Lily's been talking to.

Yes, information pending. What's your main conflict?

Murder... and sex.

Interesting. What's your goal?

I'm gonna right the wrongs I've left behind.

When will the book be published?

Sam stares hard.

Lily twiddles her thumbs.

Writing Process Blog Tour

Why Tiger Gray, what a big torch you have!

Welcome to the second round for the Writing Process Blog Tour.

What am I working on?

While I wait to hear back from agents and publishers, I'm working on a Psychological Thriller sequel.
 

How does my work differ from others in its genre?

I write two different things, Fantasy short stories and Psychological Thriller novels. In both genres I focus on the emotions of the characters to show the story. Or rather, the emtoions of the characters make me show the story.

Why do I write what I do?

Free therapy.

 

How does my writing process work?

First, I wait until I'm in the right mood. This involves immersing myself in research and specific music until I'm in the right mindset in order to write that next scene or chapter. Then I tune out the whole world, close the door, live inside the story, and write like mad. It takes a lot of concentration and I can't have anyone around when I'm writing.

I'm now passing the torch to horror author JZ Murdock and literary fiction author Berva Drieger.  Check out their blogs next Monday. Thanks for reading!
