What was the inspiration for Trapped Inside: Living with Agoraphobia?
"I love psychology and found the subject of agoraphobia interesting. Part of me wanted to tap into my psychology background and bring together a story that could make people see the struggle someone faces with a disorder."How much of yourself is reflected in this book, and how?
"I don’t really feel like there is a whole lot of me reflected in the book other than imagining what life would be like if I never had to leave my apartment."The first thing that draws me to a book is its cover. Can you tell us about your cover for Trapped Inside: Living with Agoraphobia - why you chose that concept and who the artist is.
"BK Walker created the cover for me. I wanted it to display what the book would be about, and how the main character (Justin Ackers) feels about his disorder. He wants to escape the apartment, but is a prisoner to his own thoughts."

"Trapped Inside is a fictional book about a man dealing with agoraphobic issues. Despite it being a complete work of fiction (and should not be perceived as a way of coping), it could still bring awareness of how serious social disorders and other psychological disorders can really be."Can you tell us something quirky about Trapped Inside: Living with Agoraphobia, its story and characters?
"The character Carolina was loosely based on two Polish women I knew from high school. They were both very sweet caring women, but also had the tendency to push others away when people got too close."Who would you recommend Trapped Inside: Living with Agoraphobia to and what should readers be aware of (any warnings or disclaimers)?
"I think anyone could read Trapped Inside and love it. The only disclaimer I would add to it is that this is a complete work of fiction. It is not based on an actual person. But if one does battle agoraphobia or know someone who does, seeing a therapist is strongly encouraged."

"Oh man, I get asked that about every book and it’s always so hard to choose.What do you like to write and read about? Do you stick to a particular genre or do you like to explore different ones?
I think Scott Michael Foster (Leo from Chasing Life) would be a good fit for Justin Ackers. Anne Dudek (Covert Affairs & House) for Carolina."
"I am mostly a mystery and suspense writer, but am branching out every once in a while into other genres. Trapped Inside is more of a psychological drama. I have a few ideas for some attention grabbers, and have interest in writing romance and horror as well."What is your writing process?
"It used to be I could write anywhere at any time and be content. I feel like the process has simplified itself to be working from home with music playing in the background or taking some time in a busier environment."

"I have the second book in the Detective Ali Ryan Series (Campus Killer was book 1) coming out in early November. I have the fourth and final installment of The Phoenix Blade Series (Final Justice) coming out early next year, and may be collaborating with another author I met on Facebook to work on an edgy romance."And as a final quirky thing, to get to know you a little bit better... do you have a pet or something that is special to you (this could be absolutely anything!)?
