1. What bands or music have been you Life's blood at various times in your Life?
RT: I started listening to Poe's HAUNTED when it came out over ten years ago, and have pretty much listened to it at least weekly since. I'm also a fan of female singer/songwriters like Jonatha Brookes, Fisher, and Imogen Heap. That said, I adore 70's rock: Pink Floyd, Eagles, Heart, Moody Blues, ELO, even Foreigner and Styx -- all the really early stuff.
2. When you consider your books, A WALK IN THE SNARK, and THE MANCODE: EXPOSED, what were those deciding factors that told you how you wished to emerge as an indie author, and how has your creative brand been received out there?
RT: Relationships have always fascinated me, and writing about them comes naturally to me. I started as a blogger in 2008 and found my voice and my audience. Humor and tragedy and structures that I've studied and worked to combine for years. If you look at classic Greek structure or even Shakespeare, many times these elements are present in a single story.
