David Wong
So many people ask me this that I think I might be doing it wrong? But I didn't think you could ever just put real people into a story, otherwise you'd get sued. Or, at least, make things weird if you like want that character to die or have them turn out to be a serial killer or something. But no I'm nothing like David, for example I have never drank alcohol or done any drugs, that's just not my thing. But David can't relax unless he's intoxicated.

David Wong:
This Book Is Full Of Spiders seemed a lot less bizzare and overall slightly more lucid and less crazy than JDATE. Was this intentional, and in your opinion how does JDATE3 stack up on the bizarre/crazy scale in comparison? Also its really weird how much JDATE sounds like a Jewish Dating site.

David Wong:
A common theme running through JDatE, Spiders, and FVaFS seems to be protagonists triumphing through an earnest effort to do the right thing, complete with sacrifices, sticking to principles and strongly ethical behaviour--perhaps most so in FVaFS. Is it your intent to right decent, hopeful books, or is that a side-effect of the journey of your characters and necessity in moving the particular narrative forward?
