~~~AUTHOR INTERVIEW~~~

Geri:     What inspires you the most to write?


Jacob:   Since most of my writing is dialogue, I have to be in a goofy mood to write,
                 because if I'm not, the voices of my characters come off wooden and
                 unbelievable.











Geri:        Who is your favorite author?

Jacob:     Tied between Elmore Leonard and Don Winslow. To compare anyone with
                   Dutch is almost blasphemy. But Winslow's, THE POWER OF THE DOG is
                   perhaps the best novel Ive ever read, followed by Christopher Moore,
                   Neil Gaiman and Stephen King. Wait, you wanted one?










Geri:          As a reader, what is your favorite genre?


Jacob:      Most anything if the characters are good, but lately, I've been on a
                   Preston/Child kick, so thriller-esq?












Geri:             As a child, did you have favorite books?

Jacob:          The first favorite I can remember is "WACKY WEDNESDAY."











Geri:              Do you have any current work in progress?


Jacob:          I'm working on a teen buddy comedy, that for some reason, reminds
                       me of Superbad, if Superbad involved a dead body and Russian
                       mobsters.












Geri:             Thank you kindly for your time. I can predict that I will indeed enjoy
                       reading your novel, because I already picked up your sense of humor.
                      This book will be different from what I usually read, but will be quite
                       refreshing.


Jacob:           You're welcome.
