I'm excited to have author Zach Scott on the blog today to discuss her newest release, STALKER, MY LOVE.
Thanks for sharing, Zach!
Thanks for sharing, Zach!
Give us the "elevator pitch" for Stalker, My Love.
When a young woman vanishes from a small town, her stalker sets out to find her.
How did Stalker, My Love come to be? What was your inspiration to write the book?
I love a whodunit, and wanted to explore a stalker as a protagonist in the investigation. The person the stalker is obsessed with vanishes. What’s the ultimate goal of the stalker in finding the person? Is it selfish or selfless?
I also like pizza. There’s a small mystery about pizza in the book.
What lead you to writing a mystery/thriller/romance??
The first book I wrote, a story about selfish friends in a zombie apocalypse, was full of blood, gore, and mayhem. I then followed up with two sequels, and a book about an angry shark eating people. All four of those stories contain elements of mystery, thriller and romance, but I wanted to write something focused on those genres without all the chaotic violence.
Just some of the chaotic violence.
So I came up with Stalker, My Love a while back when I was writing a crime thriller (yet to be released), and the story fell naturally into those genres.
How would you describe Stalker, My Love in only three words?
A love story.
Do you listen to music while you write? What are some tunes on your playlist?
Sometimes. I used to frequently listen to music while writing, but don’t as often now because I can get pretty distracted and start singing (terribly). So now if I listen to music, it’s usually something instrumental, like Explosions in the Sky and This Will Destroy You.
What are you reading right now, or what is on your TBR list?
I’m looking forward to Dennis Lehane’s new novel Since We Fell.

Great interview. I am always curious how authors decide which genre is best suited for them. Taking part in #getsocial17

ReplyDeleteawesome interview! i like that you incorporate music into your channel! #getsocial17
ReplyDeleteSeems like an exciting read! Enjoyed the interview :)
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised the author considers this a love story if the stalker is trying to find her. Very interesting to see the stalker as a protagonist. I wonder how people know and have done nothing about him stalking her. She probably left because of him or some other mystery that Rhett found her to be.
ReplyDeleteI love stalker movies/books because I'm weird I guess. I'm adding this on goodreads for sure. Plus, there is a pizza mystery and I want to know what that's about haha (:

I think this whole idea is weird, but I can see how things would work out. This really does sound like an interesting story.
