Ask me anything. Questions, questions. Do I not have a life? Am I to spend years satisfying your curiosity? Does that seem fair to you?

Q: Did you ever join a writer’s group? A: No. I’m not much of a joiner. If I joined, I’d be the guy in the corner muttering to himself.

Q: What is Odd Thomas’s pancake recipe? A: What’re you——a spy from iHop? You want the best pancake recipe ever for free? Shame on you.

I’ve written about it in A Big Little Life. The day after the date, Gerda told me that she laughed so hard her stomach ached. That has always troubled me, because I don’t believe I said anything funny.

Q: Should writers read their reviews? A: Only if you know it’s a critic who reads what he/she reviews. Some don’t.

Q: Which 2 of your characters would you like to have meet in a crossover novel? A: Odd Thomas & Jocko from the last four Frankenstein books.

If I could go back in time, I’d travel to 1970 and tell Wile E. Coyote just to give it up, it’s never going to happen.

Q: A memory from your wedding day? A: The priest called me Dan. (True) So I called him “sister” instead of “father.” (Untrue, but I wish.)

The limited edition of my next novel, The Bad Weather Friend is now available at charnelhouse.com

Q: How do you select the settings for your stories? A: I ask a Ouija board. For some reason, the dead have a talent for scene setting.

Ask me Anything. Ever since aliens took me up to the mother ship for a brain-and-body probing, I have no secrets.

Q: What’s your favorite thing about winter? A: It doesn’t come between spring and summer, requiring extreme wardrobe changes.

Q: What’s Elsa’s favorite memory of 2023? A: How she avoided being attacked & eaten by coyotes. She now carries bear spray.

2024 is going to be great! Elsa and I have been after Bigfoot for years and have tracked him to the San Diego area. Watch the news!

As never before, the ruling class despises everyday people. Spike, the bad weather friend, helps a nice guy teach them a lesson.

A reader asks if time travel is possible, as in LIGHTNING. I will tell you what I think when I get back from vacation in 1932 New York.

What inspired THE BAD WEATHER FRIEND? I walked into a bar with a goose. Benny, Harper & Spike were having a drink with a squirrel. A novel ensued.

I wrote WATCHERS before I ever had a dog. But I did a lot of research in a highly convincing dog suit.

This guy said The Bad Weather Friend is a masterpiece. I bought him a Porsche & adopted him. It’s weird having a son the same age as I am.

I joined David Perell for an interview to discuss how I write. Elsa had to join as well. youtube.com/watch?v=Dqqedl…
