Cinco de Author: Joe Konrath
Paul Guyot has his latest Cinco de Author feature up on his blog. His latest victim is J.A. Konrath, the hardest working man in publishing. A typical exchange:
PG: Do you remember the moment or moments when you first came up with the character of Jack Daniels? How did it happen?
JK: I was wracking my brain for a character name and by luck there happened to be a bottle of booze on my desk. But the "Cuervo 1800 Series" didn't sell. Which hurt, because agave it my best shot.
(heh, heh... agave...)
Despite the cringe-worthy nature of that joke, Konrath is a gifted writer and his latest book, Bloody Mary, is even better than his first. Check it out -- it's the perfect summer read.
This typepad thing is freaking me out, man!
When I go to your blog, I get this flash of your site, but in all text, for about a half a second before it goes to your normal page.
