These are questions from random
people who have read some of my books.
Q: In your book, The Maze from
Hell, can you give me more background info on Syra and Kyle? It doesn’t appear
that you wrote about their life before the Backrooms.
A: You’re right. This is their
background:
Kyle, a divorcee, is five years
younger than Syra, and is a father to three kids—two daughters and a son. While
working the night shift at Walmart, he accidentally found himself in the
Backrooms. How it happened was, during a break, he stepped into the restroom,
and when he emerged, he was met with a disorienting yellow maze instead of the
familiar store.
Turning around, he realized the
door he exited had vanished. Navigating through level 0 like many before him,
he made his way to other levels until he encountered one of the colonies and
decided to stay.
Syra was a married woman with a loving family. Her children were already adults when she mysteriously vanished. The details of how she found herself in the Backrooms are hazy, as her experiences there have clouded her memories of the events leading up to her arrival. Initially, she faced the same challenges as others in that non-Euclidean dimension, but eventually, she reached the Raiders colony and met Kyle. Accepting that returning home was no longer an option, Syra and Kyle formed a bond, navigating their new reality together while learning from the people around them.
Q: Was Mr. Smith, in your book, A
Time Traveler’s Companion, have other companions not mentioned in your book?
A: Yes, but they were short lived. After
Melanie left but before he met Remi, he had a brief encounter with a woman from
the day spa where he first took Remi. Following that, there was Ella, whom I
mentioned in the book, along with a few others. However, it was Remi who truly
captured his heart and became his long-term companion until her passing. Later,
during his fifth incarnation, he took Ryla as a companion, however she referred
to him as uncle because of their history. No intimate encounters between them. When
Ryla dies, years later, he continues his journeys with new companions.
Q: You mentioned that A Time
Traveler’s Companion is loosely inspired by a fanfiction you wrote. Does it
follow the original story?
A: Well, it’s a bit of both. While
some elements from the fanfiction remain, many aspects have been altered. Given
that it’s a Doctor Who fanfic, I made several changes during the writing
process, which unexpectedly led to the novel exceeding 500 pages. I believe the
story stands apart from the fanfiction, and I appreciate you taking the time to
read my book.
Q: In your book Flare, you mentioned that Cher knows
Jane’s parents. Can you elaborate?
A: They were quite close, as Cher
often assisted the Hunters, the organization to which Jane’s parents belonged.
Their friendship deepened over the years, and Cher was present when Jane was
born. However, after Jane’s parents passed away, Cher couldn’t take her in due
to her nature as an energy vampire.
Cher is an enigmatic individual and
remains so throughout the Phoenix Files book series. She will appear in one of
the volumes from the series, assisting Jane on one of the assignments.
