Q: What motivated you to become a crime book author?

I've always been fascinated by the complexities of human behavior and the darker aspects of society. Crime fiction allows me to explore these themes while crafting gripping and suspenseful narratives.

Q: How do you develop the personalities and motivations of your criminal characters?

Developing compelling criminal characters involves a mix of research, empathy, and imagination. I study real-life criminal cases, delve into psychology, and put myself in their shoes to understand their motives and actions.

Q: What is your process for creating intricate and unpredictable plotlines?

Plotting is a delicate balance of careful planning and allowing room for spontaneity. I start with a general outline, create twists and red herrings, and let the story evolve organically during the writing process.

Q: How do you maintain a sense of realism when writing about police procedures and investigations?

Research is key to maintaining authenticity. I consult with law enforcement experts, read books by professionals, and study real cases and investigations to ensure accuracy in my writing.

Q: How do you handle the emotional toll of writing about dark and violent subjects?

Writing about such subjects can be emotionally draining. To cope, I take breaks, practice self-care, and remind myself of the purpose behind my storytelling, which is to shed light on the human condition.

Q: How do you approach the balance between the pursuit of justice and the moral gray areas often found in crime fiction?

The exploration of moral dilemmas adds depth to crime fiction. I present characters with tough choices, forcing them to question their values, and I avoid clear-cut solutions to keep the narrative thought-provoking.
