You are a
debuting author with the book Long Way Down. What would
you like to give to readers as a first impression as a
writer and author?
PC: My
greatest hope is that readers will say, “Hey, that guy
can tell a story.” I plan to publish more books about
Sam Mackenzie’s adventures, so I would like for them to
remember him as a strong character and put me on their
short list of authors to look for when selecting books.
As a
debuting author readers like to know a little about the
person behind the book such as residence, occupation and
hobbies.
PC: I
live on a lake in Georgia with my wife, Elaine. While I
have held many blue and white collar jobs over the
years, at the present I am enjoying the life as a
writer. I also enjoy reading, traveling, the seashore,
golf, and rock music.
Did you
know what the title would be from the beginning of your
story?
PC: No, I
didn’t. This title came to me toward the end of the
story when I thought about the deadly consequences for
one of the primary characters.
How long
did it take you to become acquainted with your
characters Candi Moran and Sam MacKenzie?
PC: I
developed the character of Sam Mackenzie over a period
of years, so I knew him pretty well already. Candi
Moran evolved as I wrote and it took me a few pages to
realize her full potential.
Your characters are colorful in
description such as a soldier of fortune, a Russian
partner, a government bad boy, a local crime fighter
just to name a few. What knowledge did you draw from to
create theses characters?
PC:
Actually, I don’t have any such personal acquaintances
to draw on, so the characters in this story are
completely imaginary.
