Decompose Interview: Writing in Present Tense

Mike Duran has been reading Back on Murder, and he happened to notice the book is written in first person, present tense. Mike, whose novel The Resurrection comes out next year, once had a bad experience with first person present when his critique partners told him it was not an "acceptable point of view" for commercial fiction. That being the case, he had a question for me: Am I crazy? 

I thought we'd established that already when I posted my Self Portrait with Ice Spike.

Seriously, he had several questions, and the interview is now online at Decompose. Mike writes, "Not only is it a compelling police procedural that pulls you right in, Mark's craft is exceptional." To which I say, thank you very much.
