I have always loved mythology and as a pagan my patron Goddess is Ereshkigal so the ideas just flowed from there.

The French Foreign Legion is one of the most mysterious military forces in the world. After researching the legion for several weeks, I found a lot of the material published about them was complete hokum. I found a book called Life in the French Foreign Legion by Evan McGregor. It not only gave me first person experiences but gave detail into the daily life of the legion. I corresponded with Evan and he helped me shape my characters into a believable format.

We don’t believe in “forcing” anything, so we write under just about any circumstance and in any environment. But, the flow has to be there.

Sometimes I’ll read stories that are similar to what I’m after. For example, I’m preparing a “last person on earth” novel and I’m in the thinking process with the story. I’ve found other books written about similar situations and I’ll read those to see how other the authors deal with the world building and the telling of the tale. Think about it, if the story is about the last person on earth, who’s the story – or protagonist if told in first person – talking to?

I’ve been influenced by particular authors, yes, but when I tried to copy anyone else’s style, it just didn’t work. We have to have our own style.

I published the first 4 Hatter M comic books through IMAGE Comics to learn the in’s and out’s of publishing. After that experience, I wanted to be responsible for all aspects of my graphic novels while building a publishing company that produces other creator’s work.
