Sit down, come up with an idea and start typing, or filling legal pads with scribbles. When I finished my first novel, it was a great sense of accomplishment, but I look back on that VERY unpublished story and realize it was merely an important first step.<\/span><br \/>\n<em><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;\"><strong>JMR:<\/strong> Your book, <em>Final Price<\/em>, was a quarter-finalist this year in the Amazon.com \u201cBreak Through Novel Award\u201d competition and was published by CreateSpace.

In the \u201csmall town\u201d atmosphere of Wilmington, the seemingly random killings baffle the cops until Chang and his emotionally fragile ex-partner, Nelson Rogers, step in to find the common thread. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-family: Georgia,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;\"><strong>JMR:<\/strong> Can you tell us a little about the history of <em>Final Price<\/em> and your experience writing this particular book?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Georgia,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;\"><strong>GS:<\/strong> I think this book has changed more than any other that I\u2019ve written. Actually, in a lot of ways I think of it as my informal \u201cgraduate thesis.\u201d It went through no fewer than ten drafts and years of intensive group critique led by a professional editor who improved my writing and craft exponentially. With her help we tried to find a home through conventional publisher routes but that is always a daunting path for an unknown. I got some good feedback but no offers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Georgia,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;\">I took a shot with the Amazon contest and got some more good feedback and even though it didn\u2019t finish at the top, I was very pleased with the whole contest experience. After that, I decided to follow through and release the book as a self published work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-family: Georgia,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;\"><strong>JMR:<\/strong> <em>Final Price<\/em> has been described as a thriller, a novel of suspense and a mystery &#8212; is <em>Final Price<\/em> a cross genre novel, and if so why did you decide to combine these three genres?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Georgia,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;\"><strong>GS:<\/strong> I don\u2019t know about that, I think it stands as a thriller certainly, but within the mystery framework it is not so much of a \u201cwhodunit?\u201d as a \u201cHowtheygonnacatchhim?\u201d I wanted to show the action from two distinctly different perspectives so the reader gets to be in the head of both the hero and the killer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-family: Georgia,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;\"><strong>JMR:<\/strong> To a greater or lesser degree all authors write from personal experience, how much of <em>Final Price<\/em> is from your personal experience and how much research did you have to do in order to write this book?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Georgia,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;\"><strong>GS:<\/strong> This book started from a simple premise that occurred to me during a long shift selling cars during a snowy day with few customers. What if, instead of sharing war stories with co-workers in the break room, a salesman totally snapped and lashed out against his most aggravating customers? Shamus Ryan was born. To play the other side of the equation I wanted to create an edgy hero who has plenty of dark demons of his own. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Georgia,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;\">Paul Chang is an amalgam of people I\u2019ve met throughout my life, as well as a bunch of stuff I simply made up (one of the beauties of writing!)<\/span><br \/>\n<em><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;\"><strong>JMR:<\/strong> What\u2019s the most unusual experience you\u2019ve had related to the writing of <em>&#8220;Final Price<\/em>&#8220;?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Georgia,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;\"><strong>GS:<\/strong> Sometimes when I tell people about the book and that I sold cars myself they get a funny look in their eye that always prompts me to remind them that it is fiction!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-family: Georgia,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;\"><strong>JMR:<\/strong> Can you tell us a few funny or unusual \u201cfacts\u201d about <em>Final Price<\/em>? <\/span><br \/>\n<\/em><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;\"><strong>GS:<\/strong> Of course all the characters are fictitious even if they were inspired by real people. More often than not, several people actually. Likewise, some of the annoying customer traits I gave the victims had some basis in fact. In particular, there\u2019s a scene where the customers devour Shamus\u2019s lunch then leave without buying.
