Where are you from?
The Singularity, by way of Lawrence,
Massachusetts.
Where did you study?
Got my Master’s at Emerson College, where I learned that the people who had the most game weren’t necessarily the best writers.
How did you get your start as a writer?
Writing and storytelling have always been survival tools. I faked my way through college by writing killer essays, and saved my a** more than a few times by telling a good story. I got into professional writing by way of comedy. I was an actor and stand-up comic, but finally realized I liked writing the material better than I liked performing it.
That led to several years of writing scripts for the computer/video game industry and spec screenplays, and then finally back to my first love: books.
List some of your
influences.
Fear. Alcohol. Shame.
