I'm not sure inspiration is the right word, but books, movies, comic books, living life. I find that doing things that are boring and rote is great inspiration because your mind wanders, inevitably, to your book. Like driving a familiar road, taking a shower, trying to go to sleep. One of my big tricks I learned a long time ago is I will check myself into a hotel. There's nothing to do and I don't know the city and I don't have any of my things, so almost immediately I start thinking about my writing. It's very productive.

How (if not available in an interview online) did you come across deciding to make a "Cyberpunkesque" series like Hard Luck Hank, and what influenced this creatively hilarious yet dark series? (I think that may have been two questions wrapped in an inevitable digital burrito).
