For the sake of ease of access, I'm linking here to an interview that Susan Landers conducted with me, quite some years ago now, about my novel Dead Carnival. I wouldn't necessarily agree now with every comment I made in the interview; still, I think the interview is a worthwhile discussion of my approach to that book.
People interested in getting a copy of the novel can contact me directly or, for the time being, can still find copies at Small Press Distribution here.
