3Q’s – Joe Lansdale was Born For Trouble!
Not gonna lie – when I send out the invites for things (much like when I message regarding blurbs), there’s a few that you send out that A) you don’t expect a reply and B) if they do, it’ll be a thanks, but sorry. Look, life is busy and we have limited time. Some things just don’t slot in and being a small fish like myself, I’m never hurt or offended if someone declines anything I send their way.
Today’s guest, I’ll admit – was in B. Joe’s super nice and while I really wanted to feature him, I know how massively busy he is, so I honestly expected a thanks, but not right now reply. BUT TO MY ABSOLUTE SHOCK – he agreed! So, here we are. Today’s guest is one of the most accomplished and distinguished authors to walk the planet.
Please welcome the amazing Joe Lansdale!
Steve: What does your writing time look like? Do you try to write at the same time each day? Do you have a word count you attempt to hit?
Joe: I write in the morning, three hours. I try and write pretty shortly after I wake up. I try for three to five pages a morning and sometimes get more. Polish as I go. No outlines.
Steve: If you started a series and for some reason had to have another author finish it, who would you choose?
Joe: Probably someone in my family.
Steve: Tell me about your newest release (novel/story/poem/novella) and why someone should read it!
Joe: The newest is BORN FOR TROUBLE and is about my Hap and Leonard characters. Mulholland/Little Brown publishes the novels, but the collections about the characters so far have been published by
Tachyon. I think they’re pretty exciting and funny, and I like to think they’re original.
Steve: Bonus Question! If they made a movie about your life, what actor or actress would you suggest they get to play you?
Joe: We don’t need a movie about my life.
There you have it! Thank you so much, Joe for doing this!
