DB Corey lives in the Richmond suburbs with his lovely wife Maggie, an offish Chocolate Lab named Murphy, and a sleepy American foxhound aptly named Dozer. After a rather uninspired stint in college, he signed with Uncle Sam to fly aircrew on NAVY P-3 Orion sub-hunters seeking Russian subs in The Cold War. He began his writing career in his mid-50s.

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Writing does not come easy for me, so I work at it more than the things I already know how to do. Hence, the satisfaction is greater. I liken it to anything I learned to do as a child: whistling or hitting a baseball or riding a two-wheeler. Being able to peddle down the sidewalk on my own without the training wheels and without, of course, falling over, was a huge triumph for me. The elation, the feeling of accomplishment … the rush! With writing, all of these things are new again. I never want to get so comfortable writing novels that I lose those feelings upon completing a breathtaking scene, or a creating an especially unusual character. I hope to enjoy those feelings for a very long time to come.(less)

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

D.B. Corey There’s an old saying: What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. That is especially true with writing. New writers take rejection of their work hard. …moreThere’s an old saying: What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. That is especially true with writing. New writers take rejection of their work hard. It’s personal for them. That attitude will kill a dream faster than the cyanide I used to kill victims in my first novel. Toughen your skin. LEARN from failure. It is a better teacher than success.
OH! And don't let internet-trolls dissuade you, like the two women from Boca Raton who both joined GR in September just to give my work a 2-star rating. Seems they don't agree with my politics, so they decided to punish me. So much for Freedom of Speech in Boca Raton. Petty, to say the least. (less)

“Melody exploded. "THIS ISN'T LIKE GETTING A FISH TO SEE IF I COULD BE RESPONSIBLE ENOUGH FOR A PUPPY!" She took a deep breath, calmed herself and lowered her voice. She then repeated the statement as if doing so removed the stink of the outburst.

"I'm well aware of that," said Lonnie. "And not to poke it with a stick, but you don't see any puppies sniffing around that empty fish bowl, do you?”

“Melody began to mumble incomprehensibly under her breath as she worked frantically on securing her most important papers into bankers boxes.
Her father stomped into her room, eating a banana.
Melody looked up at him with a sweaty and nauseated look on her face. “What are you tramping around so heavily about?” she asked him.
Bernie finished the last of the banana, and then held the peel in his hand as though it were a washcloth he had just found on the floor of a gym locker room.
Melody pointed to her trashcan with her eyes.
“I make an insane amount of noise when I approach you, because you once yelled at me claiming that I was 'sneaking up on you',” Bernie replied, using finger quotes on the last phrase. “That kind of treatment stays with a guy.”
Melody shook her head. Her father knew how much she hated finger quotes. Why he insisted on using them was beyond her. “I was five at the time”, she said.
“Ah,” Bernie said, with a knowing grin on his face. “The angry period.”
― B.M.B. Johnson, Melody Jackson v. the Hound from Hell It happened on Lafayette Street Season One
