The problem with being an actor on top of the world is that you have a long way to fall.

Logan Steele is miserable. Hollywood life is dragging him down. Drugs, men, and booze are all too easy. Pulling himself out of his self-destructive spiral, not so much.

Brit Stimple does whatever he can to pay the bills. Right now, that means editing porn. But Brit knows he has the talent to make it big, and he gets his break one night when Logan sees him perform on stage.

When Logan arranges for an opportunity for Brit to prove his talent, Brit’s whole life turns around. Brit’s talent shines brightly for all to see, and he brings joy and love to Logan’s life and stability to his out-of-control lifestyle. Unfortunately, not everyone is happy for Logan, and as Brit’s star rises, Logan’s demons marshal forces to try to tear the new lovers apart.

What are common traps for aspiring writers?  One of the things I see a lot are writers who set their stories in places they aren’t familiar with.  It happens a lot and they think Google Maps or searches will make up for it.  Unfortunately the story will come out flat.  

What is your writing Kryptonite?  A really good series on television.  Once I get hooked on something, I want to see it through to the end and that means I’ll watch TV instead of working.  Right now I’m working and I have one episode of The Night Agent to go.  I’m making myself work before watching it.  

Have you ever gotten reader’s block?  It happens to everyone.  I continue working through it and eventually the ideas start to flow again.  I may need to rework what I did, but it gets me through the slow patch.  

Do you try more to be original or to deliver to readers what they want?  I try for both.  It’s a balance and I don’t always get it right, but it’s what I always strive for.  

Do you think someone could be a writer if they don’t feel emotions strongly?  That’s a question I’ve never had before.  Good one.  I really don’t know. I know authors who are amazing who are calm, collected, rather muted emotionally, and yet their writing is stunning.  I think writing is about conveying emotion through words.  That can be two very different things.
