What scenes are generally the hardest to write for you?
Thank you for having me. I really appreciate it so much. As for your question, the scenes that are hardest to write are the action scenes, especially those that involve more than two characters. Sometimes I actually have to act out the scenes in order to get the details right. I once wrote a scene and realized I had extra hands and people nearly bent in half. LOL It takes a great deal of time to make sure that what I’m writing is feasible and as realistic as I can get.
One of the hardest things about these action scenes is the level of detail. I really want my reader to feel as though they are part of the scene and actually taking part But pacing is also important, so one fo the things I have to balance is enough detail to feel put the reader in the scene without adding so much that it slows down the action.

The last three guys Phillip dated are dead. Is he next?
When successful businessman Phillip Barone attends a lover’s funeral and discovers he was just the latest of Phillip’s partners to die, Phillip knows he’s in trouble.
He also knows just the man he needs. Former Marine Barry Malone would love a second chance with Phillip—he just wishes the romance could be rekindled under better circumstances. But Phillip’s stalker is escalating, and if Barry cannot solve the mystery of who wants Phillip dead and why, he might lose him for good.
Barry’s determined, but the investigation struggles against the wit of a crafty killer—one who is closer to Phillip than they could have realized. Luckily Barry is even closer, and he’ll do whatever it takes to protect the man he’s falling in love with all over again.

He stilled and turned out the light, then stepped behind the door. There was no need to panic. If he had to, he’d simply take care of the woman. He had prepared for this. The lights in the room flashed on, and the maid moved through the room. He stood still, breathing slowly and evenly, reminding himself that he was a predator. If she discovered him, he’d take care of her. Predator… he liked the sound of that. It made him feel forceful, strong, and in control. And when he thought about it, he was in control. The light in the bathroom came on, and then a few seconds later, the room went dark. He stood there, waiting as the room door closed.
Just like that, he smiled and pulled off his gloves, then put them and the bag back into his pocket. As easy as that, he was done. He slipped his hand into the sleeve of his shirt, using that to open the door, and checked the hallway before leaving the room and heading down the hall to the elevator. He rode down alone, keeping his head down, his gaze plastered on his cell phone. Any cameras wouldn’t catch his face. Not that he had to worry… not really. There was nothing amiss, as far as anyone would be able to tell. He hadn’t actually changed anything, just upped the dosage of the tranquilizers… to lethal. The plan was brilliant, simple, and flawless

This, along with all the books I’ve read from Andrew Grey sounds quite appealing. I love a good mystery and this one promises one.
