Wayne is here to talk about his newest book, Delusion: Kiss Me When I’m Dead, and to introduce himself to us. I’ve known Wayne for several months after being interviewed on his podcast Talk About It Friday. I know you’ll find him an interesting and talented guy!
YOU CAN’T RUN FROM ME Meet Anthony Stone. He considers himself a lover. A killer. His trade is killing. Anthony Stone is drawn closer to a woman called Laura, a woman he doesn’t even know. Anthony fell in love at first sight but is soon rejected the first time. He is convinced he can win her heart. Anthony digs deeper into her life when he discovers another man involved. After stalking her round the clock, he slowly learns the truth about her and pays a high price. His sick obsession with Laura gets way out of control, he will do what it takes to be with her and that includes killing anyone that steps in his way.
NA: How did you come up with the idea for your book?
WC: It took sometime to find out what genre suited me as a writer. I started out writing horror but something was missing. So that is when I really started to think what is it my brain is wanting to write. That’s when I decided to play around with characters and see how it plays out and it worked, and that is when I said to myself that thriller is where I need to be.
