A: Fast, fun, often scary books that are all a little bit different and span genres. The Unearthed is more a slow-burn horror story with elements of mystery. The main character is Eddie McCloskey, who grows a lot as a character throughout the series. He’s great fun to write. Q: Why did you want to write this first book? A: The big twist at the end came to me in a rare moment of epiphany. I won’t go into detail about the twist to respect the spoiler, but once I had that idea I built the story around it. Q: What does it mean to you when readers buy your books? A: It’s the ultimate compliment. I might never be a best-selling author, but the feedback from readers I’ve gotten is wonderful. It’s really touching when you look at someone’s Amazon profile and discover their first review of anything on the website is your book. They not only bought the story, they went out of their way to tell others about it.
