3. Is it part of a series, if so which one?
I'm releasing the current series under the title RSVP, which is the name of the fictional corporation that several of the characters are working in.

4. When did you start writing?
I started writing shortly after I stopped working at Marvel Entertainment. I was in the corporate department, so I didn't write while I was there, but I was taught the principles of writing. I learned the same fundamentals that went into our movies and comics. That definitely helped my writing later on.

5. Why did you start writing?
I started writing because I wanted to tell good stories. There are a lot of other benefits that come from being a writer, but creating compelling stories is the biggest motivation. I want to help people feel the same wide range of emotions that I feel when I read my favorite writers.

6. Who are your influences?
I have a wide range of influences, but the main ones are Anais Nin, Barry Eisler, Brian Azzarello, John Le Carre, Josephine Hart, Oscar Wilde and William Gibson. Each one of them have different strengths that I try to bring to the work I do.
