Behind the Microphone: Conversations About My Books

One of the most rewarding parts of being an author has been the opportunity to talk with readers through radio interviews, podcasts, television appearances, and online features.

Writing is often a solitary experience. I spend countless hours alone with my characters, trying to understand what motivates them, what frightens them, and what gives them hope. Interviews offer something completely different—they’re a chance to step away from the manuscript and share the ideas that inspired the stories in the first place.

People often ask where my ideas come from, why memory and identity appear so frequently in my novels, or why I prefer psychological suspense over nonstop action. Those conversations have reminded me that readers aren’t only interested in what happens inside a book—they’re also curious about the journey that led to it.

Another lesson I’ve learned is that media exposure can make a meaningful difference for authors. Every interview introduces your books to readers who may never have discovered them otherwise. A reader might hear a podcast today, listen to a radio interview next week, and only months later decide to pick up one of your books. Success rarely comes from a single interview. It comes from consistently introducing your work to new audiences.

Below you’ll find a collection of many of my interviews and media appearances. I’ll continue updating this page as new interviews are released.

Why These Conversations Matter

Although every interviewer asks different questions, a few themes always seem to come up.

Why do I write about memory?

Why do ordinary people interest me more than superheroes?

Why psychological suspense?

Those conversations have helped me better understand my own writing. They’ve reminded me that beneath every mystery, every thriller, and every twist, I’m really writing about people—what makes us who we are, how love changes us, and what happens when ordinary lives collide with impossible circumstances.

If you’ve listened to one of these interviews, thank you. Every conversation gives me the chance to connect with new readers, and your support means more than you know.

And if you’re discovering my work for the first time through one of these conversations…

Welcome.

I hope you’ll enjoy the books as much as I’ve enjoyed sharing the stories behind them.
