Hi Pamela,
My pleasure. And what an interesting profession you have!
I was very close with my mentor and even though he was my screenwriting professor, he was also the person who turned me onto mystery and crime novels as a way to learn how to better create complex characters and I quickly became hooked.
And I totally agree with regards to collaboration. I never learned more about the craft of writing than I did when in writers workshops or when my professor and I co-wrote screenplays together, and I will always be grateful for those incredible experiences.
Thanks so much and I hope you enjoy Cobra Clutch!

Hi Pamela,
After I graduated from The American Film Institute I was able to extend my visa and stay in Hollywood to continue working on screenplays and teleplays.
As my extension came to an end I decided it would be best for my writing career to move back home to Vancouver, Canada where I could continue to make writing my top priority.
After returning home I eventually decided to heed my former professor's advice and take a crack at writing a mystery novel, and quickly found that I enjoyed that process more than screenwriting and felt it was a better fit for me.
Thanks for your question and I hope if you pick up a copy that you enjoy Cobra Clutch!
