edit data

Eric Farrell is a local news reporter and fiction writer from Torrance, California. His premiere novel, In Through the Out Door, is currently being published episodically on his website at www.ericmatthewfarrell.com.

On a quiet street on the outskirts of Greenwich Village, Saul Selinger stumbles across a grandfather clock frozen in time. When he realizes it's the same one buried deep within his sub conscience, it sets off a bizarre adventure that questions where he's been, what he's done, and the very state of the world he lives in.

In the notes section of my phone are dozens of insane, nonsensical things I've jotted to myself. Sometimes they come to me in the middle of the night, sometimes when I'm out drinking with friends, sometimes at work.

I deal with writer's block by avoiding the opportunity to hit it altogether. I sit down and write like clockwork most every morning, and I usually have developed a clear idea of where I'm taking my story. Sometimes it's just a single page of forward writing before I run out of that vision I had. At that point, I'm done. (less)

I didn't begin writing the novel until about a year after that, and in between then I went through a lot in my personal life. When I sat down and began telling the story, it just came to me as something much more introspective and speculative than science based. (less)
