Kriminalakte

Bei Bookgasm ist ein witziges Interview mit Duane Swierczynski (in Deutschland Duane Louis, Blondes Gift) erschienen. Über seine Ideen sagt er:

When I’m cooking up a new book, I think about situations that would be interesting to explore for 200, 300 pages — situations that won’t bore me to death. My filing cabinet is full of partial novels that didn’t make the cut.

Zum Tempo seiner Bücher und wie es entsteht, sagt er:

Actually, I don’t allow myself to urinate unless a finish a chapter. This is why … um, my chapters are very, very short.

It all goes back to my golden rule: If I’m bored with something, then any potential readers will certainly have taken the express train to snoozeville. So I try to keep things moving as much as possible.

In seinem Secret Dead Blog gibt es einen Blick auf seinen Schreibtisch und die gegenüberliegenden Ablenkungen.
