Interview with Elliot York, Author of Dark Lies

What’s the story behind the story? What impressed you to put in writing Dark Lies?

I often get my concepts after I’m out in nature, strolling or climbing alongside my favourite path. Characters peel out of my creativeness and begin to take form in my head. Pretty quickly they’re speaking and I can image them, after which they get a reputation. If a personality will get all the best way to the naming stage, then I’m dedicated. They’re going to be within the e-book. The storyline is simply the thread that holds all of them collectively.

If you needed to decide theme songs for the principle characters of Dark Lies, what would they be?

Logan Cooper’s theme track would in all probability be Tom Petty’s Free Fallin’. A heartbreaking divorce and a anxious job have put him in a form of freefall and he’s on the lookout for one thing to seize onto. His new companion, Reggie Hawkins, is good, harmless, and edged with some good old school badassery. I’d say she’s one half Van Morrison’s Tupelo Honey and one half Bruce Springsteen’s Tougher than the Rest.

What’s your favourite style to learn? Is it the identical as your favourite style to put in writing?

I really like thriller and romance, particularly after they’re in the identical e-book!

What books are in your TBR pile proper now?

I’m at present studying Tana French’s In the Woods. Her writing is inspiring.

What scene in your e-book was your favourite to put in writing?

I had so much of enjoyable writing the scene the place Logan Cooper meets his new companion, Reggie Hawkins as a result of he makes an entire ass of himself. But my favourite scenes are those that return in time, to when Logan was a younger, indignant teen with an insatiable love for one woman and an equally insatiable want to guard her from a harmful father.

Do you’ve gotten any quirky writing habits? (fortunate mugs, cats on laps, and so on.)

I’m often surrounded by sleeping canine and one thing about their smooth snores helps me discover my rhythm on the keyboard.

Do you’ve gotten a motto, quote, or philosophy you reside by?

The one I grew up with. Kindness is precedence primary.

If you possibly can select one factor for readers to recollect after studying your e-book, what would it not be?

I simply hope they will discover my e-book an entertaining escape from actuality and in the event that they shut the e-book nonetheless occupied with the characters, that will be the cherry on prime.
