When did you become interested in storytelling?
I’ve wanted to write pretty much as long as I’ve known how to write, but the real storytelling aspect I think came from a grade-school librarian. She would voice the dialog and put the characters and story in my head, it was incredible.
What was your first book/story published?
My first book was called Waylaid, it’s a bit of a coming-of-age story.
What inspired you to write Snakes Can’t Run?
Issues of immigration and documentation have been on my mind. I wanted to have the discussion within a mystery as a way to make readers think about it, as well.
What character in Snakes Can’t Run is the most/least like you, and in what ways?
I am probably most like John Vandyne, the partner of the book’s narrator, NYPD detective Robert Chow. Chow leads with his fists while Vandyne contemplates what he does and says, like me. I’m a thinker!
