In the off chance that you missed yesterday’s big announcement, you can read GalleyCat’s exclusive interview with me as they “unmask” Twitter’s Drunk Hulk.

Adam P. Knave is a freelance writer and editor, and the author of the recently published novel Stays Crunchy in Milk. The following is an email interview I conducted with Adam where I had the opportunity to discuss his new novel, as well as his take on nostalgia, pop culture and writing practices. I had a lot of fun doing this, and I sincerely hope you not only enjoy this interview, but take the time to check out Adam’s book.

Here is an interview I did recently for another website that didn’t work out for a variety of reasons. That said, there’s no reason why it can’t be posted here.
Here goes…

Here is an appetizer:
What is your writing day like?
I don’t really have a routine anymore. My goal is to allow an hour a day for writing and most cases, it’s late in the evening. I’d like to have a better schedule where I could devote two to three hours a day to my writing like I did when I was all angsty and “working my magic” at the local Starbucks.
Intense stuff.

Another interview to promote Empty Rooms Lonely Countries, …

And yet another interview, this time with Conversations with Writers. This might be my favorite interview so far. Here is a small taste:
What are the biggest challenges that you face? And, how do you deal with these challenges?
The biggest challenge I’m currently facing is getting the book noticed. It’s hard work trying to be heard on the internet (even with a contest to give away $1000), especially when there are hundreds of new incredible things arriving every day. I mean, here I am with this little book screaming, “LOOK AT …

I did an interview for the fine folks over at Fiction Scribe. It’s one of my better interviews, I think, and I had a lot of fun doing it.
Here is how it all begins:
List five words that define you as a person.

Tell us about your collection of short stories, Empty Rooms Lonely Countries.
Empty Rooms Lonely Countries collects a sampling of my short stories from the last ten years. They are autobiographical, but please don’t let the word turn you off. The stories move from Tampa, Florida to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to London, …

The fine folks over at Radio Wroclove briefly interviewed me yesterday about Empty Rooms Lonely Countries. We touched on the book, as well as the weather in Wroclaw. You can download and/or listen to the interview here.
Even if you’re not interested in the interview, I believe Radio Wroclowe is worth your time. Not only is it “the first English-speaking station in Poland that broadcasts round the clock”, it’s the closest thing I’ve found to American public radio here in Wroclaw. I’m really looking forward to watching the station grow.
Give them …

Another interview to promote Empty Rooms Lonely Countries, this time with the fine folks over at Freelance Writing. It’s an interesting interview, covering not only the promotion of the book, but research techniques, my favorite writers, and those dreaded rejections:
Have you had any downfalls or negative experiences working with a publisher/agent, such as rejection letters? If so, how did you handle it? 
I have more rejection letters than I’d like to count. Since I started listing all of the stories I’ve sent to magazines, I discovered that I average 23 rejections …
