Congrats on your novel getting published and read! Your writing habits are enviable. I tend to take long vacations after I finish a piece of writing or switch to photography which probably accounts for my low output.

I did an editorial project on Cults for the educational publisher Gale Group in the early aughts and truly loved the research. Last summer I watched everything I could about Waco and David Koresh (I was studying at UT at the time and the siege was horrifyingly close and brought up frequently by one of my profs.). I now watch any documentary related to cults that I can find as well as podcasts.

I look forward to reading your book! And I totally get the image of hard drives full of writing that will never see the light of day. Pretty much sums it up!

Congrats on the book! It’s amazing to me that you can write fiction in your free time after doing such finely tuned journalism in your day job. Do the two feel distinct for you or blend together?
