Here are some things about me that you won’t find in my official bio: I’ve seen the movie The Fugitive about eight-hundred times. When I was sixteen, I watched it every single night before I went to bed. Is that weird? It’s a pretty good flick, I think. If you played my iTunes on random, you’d probably hear: 80s pop music by Phil Collins, movie scores by Hans Zimmer, some hip-hop by Vince Staples, a little bit of Drake, a bunch of dreamy French electro by M83, a bunch of dark Scandinavian electro by The Knife, the greatest hits of The Doobie Brothers, and definitely “Peg” by Steely Dan. I read everything. Especially books. And comic books, too. My favorite comic book of all time is Amazing Spider-Man #347, the one where Sandman becomes a good guy. Not a fan of tomatoes. I’ll pick them out of a salad. But I love salsa. Feel free to ask me some questions about the book I’ve written. Would love to hear what you think. Also, ask me questions about The Fugitive. I can answer all of them, I assure you.
