Interview with author of 'Killer Rumors' Antonello Fiore
Author Antonello Fiore answers question about his exciting new crime thriller "Killer Rumors (Frank Rinelli #1)" centering on the murders of well-respected priests.
Q: Do you prefer writing mysteries over other genres?
A: Since I love to read mysteries, I prefer writing mysteries. I have been reading mystery novels for over fifteen years. As a result, I am well aware of the structure to a mystery novel. That was the reason why I never received any roadblocks when writing Killer Rumors. Prior to begin writing my novel, I would outline the main plots from beginning to end. So I already knew how the beginning, middle, and end would turn out. I just needed to fill in the minor details while my story. Not surprisingly, filling in the minor details came with no difficulty since the flow of the story was very smooth.
Q: Do you prefer to write character driven or plot driven stories?
A: As previously mentioned, I tend to outline the major plots prior to begin writing my story. A technique that I found most useful was to write twenty scenes of my story on small papers. Then I would number each scene in the particular order. This technique was definitely beneficial. Not only was it easier for me writing my story, but the intensity of the plot was rising until the climax was unfolded.
Q: If you could recommend Killer Rumors to fans of any other mystery author who would it be?
A: I would recommend Killer Rumors to fans of James Patterson, Dan Brown, and Dean Koontz. My book has the similar thriller and suspense drive that they carry. My influences are very much present in my book.
Q: Describe in one sentence why people should want to read Killer Rumors.
A: Killer Rumors would make you think twice when hearing priests being accused of child abuse.
Q: What did you enjoy most about writing Killer Rumors?
A: What I enjoyed most about writing Killer Rumors was the creative control I obtained. Since I already knew and wrote the major plots to the story, actually writing the story was so much fun for me. I was portraying myself as a reader when writing my story. That way, I was challenging myself to write the best possible story that I can write. My goal was to inform my readers the unfortunate results when priests are falsely accused. I believe I achieved my goal.
Q: Do you write consistently or just when you have a particularly compelling story in mind?
A: I have a huge passion to write. Therefore, I am writing consistently. I always carry a notebook and pen with me. That way, whenever I think of a great scene and/or idea for a story, I would immediately jot it down before I forget it. It is amazing how all those small thoughts could turn into a page-turner of a book.
Most of my writing would take place at night. That way, the entire day is behind me and I have a fresh mind to work on my story. I would have my laptop, notebook, and a cup of coffee when working on my novel.
