Interview with Michael Stockham, Author of Jake Fox: Ties That Blind

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Jake Fox: Ties That Blind?

My love of creating characters and telling stories. I want to build a series where I could explore my characters over multiple adventures.

If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Jake Fox: Ties That Blind, what would they be?

“Kids in Love” by First Aid Kit and P!nk (a collaboration).

What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?

Thrillers.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

Prodigal Father; Pagan Son (Anthony “LT” Menginie and Kerrie Droban); Everywhere an Oink Oink (David Mamet); Life & Work Principles (Ray Dalio).

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

My favorite scenes to write have a character named Hitch Miller, who is an irascible old lawyer. He serves a both comic relief at times and as a mentor.

Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)

When I get rolling on a scene, I will often find a song that has the vibe of what I am trying to write and then play it on repeat.

Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?

Be present.

If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?

I would love for them to walk away with a love for the characters and a desire to learn more about them in upcoming books in the series.
