“My approach is that of discovery. I want to write what I want to read. So I sully forth trying to tell myself a story—one that I really want to hear. I always fall short, but really, that’s what propels me.”

“… the philosophy of Sift: we started to help readers, not writers. Which means we’re not going to pull punches if we don’t like a book. But it also means that the readers can really take our reviews at face value when we say we love a book.”

“When blogging, I intentionally avoid using any sort of rating system. I don’t see a lot of value in an arbitrary number – I think the details are what matter, and are what will sway my decision to read (or not to read).”

“I submitted Not What She Seems, my first book, to eight agents before self-publishing it. When Not What She Seems hit the New York Times best selling ebook list, I had quite a few agents email me. I am now signed with Rachel Vogel from Moveable Type Literary Group. She’s wonderful, and she’s currently shopping The Overtaking as well as Not What She Seems to editors.”

“I’m a binge writer. When I go on a binge, I write 12 or 14 hours a day. Nothing else happens. I snap at my family. I order a lot of pizza. I’ve described the feeling as “I wait for the first reel of the movie in my mind to start and then I type like mad trying to keep up with it as it plays.” When the closing credits roll, I stop.”

“When I was making the initial plans for the blog this was my biggest struggle. I seriously considered not including ratings at all. Assigning a number to something that can’t be measured seems wrong when you consider how subjective such a rating has to be. I’ve personally made many purchases based on one and two star reviews that described something I would like that the reviewer didn’t.”

“I write with my co-author, David W. Small, and it took us about one year to write the book. Between passing files back and forth during the writing portion and then extensive editing sessions, it takes us many months to completely finish a book.”

“It is mostly about real people. There are a few fictional characters but most lived and really did much of what I tell in the novel. I’m fussy like that about historical fiction.”
