Paranormalfantasy & fictionSuspenceSci-Fi FantasyMysteryauthor Advertisement From his paranormal thriller "Cat's Paw", centering on a young boy who investigates a tragedy in his neighborhood, with the help of a mysterious cat, to his epic four book series "Histories of Purga", it's clear that author Rustin Petrae has plenty of imagination. In my interview with Petrae on November 1, 2012 he discussed his body of work and the challenges of the writing process.

Q: What is your favorite genre as an author?

I grew up reading all kinds of books but my favorites were always fantasy, sci-fi, and paranormal stories. That's influenced my writing ever since. Out of those three, I can't really pick a favorite.

Q: Your novel “Cat’s Paw” is a dark, paranormal fantasy. What sets “Cat’s Paw” apart from other books in the genre?

A: Cat's Paw sets itself apart because I believe it's a story that people would want to read and keep reading because they enjoy the characters. I think that a truly great story has a lot to do with truly great characters. I think Cat's Paw has that.
