Christopher Rice:
What do you think of erotic horror? Do you believe it is a viable direction for future writers?
Christopher Rice
We never know what the next trend will be. Never. If it's what you're passionate about, go for it. This advice is easier to give than take, I know, but when it comes to predicting viable directions for future writers, your guess is as good as mine. When Robert Crais started his career, they told him PI fiction was dead, and now he tops bestseller lists and just released his 20th book in his series. When my mother started writing, no one took vampires seriously. Think back a few years and imagine a novel as explicitly erotic being stacked next to the register in airport book stores. Can you imagine it? I can't. Go for it. Go with your gut.

Christopher Rice:
Christopher - I read your novel THE VINES and is scared me to death - in a good way. It got me hooked, and I just finished BONE MUSIC, which I also loved. Keep writing amazing stories! My question is do you have a "process" for your writing (i.e., writing x number of hours per day, or doing a story outline and then chapters in order, or?)?
