Borrowing is inevitable, to a certain degree. I tend to think every character ever written is partly fictitious and party based on someone (or more likely multiple someones) the writer knew, whether the writer even knows it consciously or not.

I am either getting really good at guilting authors into doing an interview with me, or they just feel sorry for me! Anyway, up next is S. L. Baum. Over a cup of coffee (well, I had coffee, you will find out in the interview about Sharon’s beverage of choice) we discussed anything and everything. Continue reading

I also target not only people who have lived or know Oakland but those who have never been. I want to show people the good and sometimes not so good of the city. Every place has good and bad, places and people. I just want to bring it to life.

This book formed very quickly after the idea was in my head for a couple of months; it wrote itself in a couple of weeks.

You should be warned, though, that there’s almost no gore or swearing, since my intent is to tell a story; not to shock the reader.
