11 Questions for Taylor A. Bain

Frequently I avoid writing by interviewing another author with questions I stole from The AV Club, The Actor’s Studio, and my old blog. I call it 11 Questions and if you have suggestions for who I should interview next, shoot me an email.

Taylor A. Bain writes dark, dystopian fiction with a hint of romance. With Bain’s books, you can expect action, gore, sex and violence. You know, the good shit.

What’s the worst job you’ve ever had?

Door-to-door sales. I was new to the state and only 15. A van would pick us up and then drop us in a neighborhood and we’d each take a street and knock on doors to sell newspaper subscriptions. Most of the time, I had no clue where I was and I always, always, always had to pee.

What did your parents want you to be?

I’m not sure they ever really cared about that. I remember one time my dad made an appointment with an army recruiter and had him meet me at school. That’s about the only interest either of them showed, that I can remember.

If you could have any famous person alive be your best friend, who would it be?

Gordon Ramsey.

What’s your favorite curse word?

I generally like fucker, but I also like ones that I can break up into two words for emphasis—like ass HOLE and bull SHIT. But really, every swear word is beautiful.

How would your enemies describe you?

OH MY GOD—DO I HAVE ENEMIES? WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME? Okay, for real, I can remember one person who used to work for me telling another employee that I was a bitch so … I guess … as a bitch?

If a deli named a sandwich after you, what would it have on it?

Avocadoes and bacon, for sure. And then, whatever else goes with that. And NO ONIONS.

What’s the worst living situation you ever had?

It’s a secret.

Who could you take in a fight?

No one. I could take absolutely no one in a fight.

If you are ever arrested, what should we all assumed happened?

Someone cut in front of me in line.

What book do you wish you had written?

None—because if I’d written some of the books I loved, they would be totally different than they are.

I’m going to ask the next person I interview one question from you. What would you like that question to be?

What are the top five songs on your coma playlist?
