Interview

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes! I actually bought one long ago at a tag sale. It wasn't what you picture when you think typewriter, it was electric.

What tools and software do you use to do your job?

I use Ulysses to write my stories and edit audio in Logic Pro. I often edit using a pair of in-ear monitors that help keep me focused.

When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?

Walking around Washington... or riding the Metro.
