Interview with Beauty In Ruins

"I don't write for weak minds, weak hearts, or weak stomachs..."

I recently had a great interview over at BEAUTY IN RUINS with Bob Milne who hit me with some fantastic questions. We discussed Husk's journey, the writing craft, and what will be happening down the road. When you get a chance, drop by and see how it all went!

Hey Daryl, Skin Deep has temporarily stalled at the negotiating table, so I'm not sure when the release date will be.

Publishers fear the story is too dark, unsettling, and unsuitable for a lot of readers. Unfortunately, it is making them very nervous.

I know, man. It's incredibly frustrating, but publishers are hiring "sensitivity readers" now to cut down on anything readers might perceive as "offensive content". In this day and age, "unsettling" is risky to them. And I don't feel like writing PG-13 versions of my novels...

I hope you get to read it much sooner than later!
