5. Writing in a new genre, approximately how long did it take you to write your book?
From blank page to submission? Maybe around 6 months. I usually take breaks in the process to clear my head in order to go back and edit with fresh eyes, so this one has been sitting in my computer for about a year, but all told that’ s about how long it took.
6. Why did you choose to write about a mental illness called Erotomania?”
Why? Because I wanted to make it real. When I got the idea I immediately started doing research and stumbled on this fascinating illness. It was just perfectly Noah. There also isn’ t really a lot in terms of fiction about it. Most Psychological thrillers like to all venture into general psychosis, schizophrenia … and the like. Not many touch on this one.
7. What is,“ Crazy Love” about?
When you break it down, it’ s realy about 3 normal people. Emily, young, fresh and happily living on her own. A strong woman. Dealing with A man that seems harmless, a stranger in every sense, just trying to be nice to the man not realizing that she makes it worse every time she smiles at him or gives him any attention. Then you have Noah, he’ s crazy, with money. He doesn’ t think he’ s crazy, has more than one illness going on, and his obsession with her is acute and becomes more so as we read on. And Isaiah, the detective boyfriend. Cute, charming, and immediately his cop instincts tell him that something is off that Emily just didn’ t notice. It’ s different, in the way we watch Noah rationalize everything that happens. In the way that Emily just can’ t swallow that this is all real until it’ s too late.
