Looks like many of your fans are Gomez Pugh fans as well as fans of your writing. I have audio-read the first six Psycop novels and am not sure whether I am crushing on Vic or Gomez or both. To what extent do you collaborate with Gomez Pugh on the audio productions?
Jordan Castillo Price
I find Gomez' Vic voice crushworthy too! I think there's a fine line between collaboration and control freak, I really try not to interfere too much in the process, and yet I think it's easier to give guidance up front to narrow down the bazillion ways in which he could read something. So I go through the text and tag things that I think are important for Gomez to know, for instance: [he's angry here] if it's not apparent from the text alone. Our most collaborative part of the process would be in finding voices for new characters. Usually I'll provide my best description of how I'd like them to sound and he'll send me back a few "takes" to choose from. And if he's got questions about something while he's in the booth he'll give me a quick call.
