![]() ![]() How deep do you go? Do you find yourself ever having to pull back from a historical wormhole?ĭavid: The math on how much to research is fuzzy. Sadie: And when you say research, I imagine that’s pretty intensive given the historical nature of your novels. I definitely believe in keeping regular hours, though unless I have a deadline or I’m eager to finish something, I usually don’t work on weekends. It doesn’t always work out perfectly, and so there are times when I’m researching instead of writing, but I’m always eager to get to the writing phase. When I feel like a project is wrapping up, I usually start researching the next book so I can hit the ground running. Sadie: I am a firm believer in mornings! It sounds like you’re a disciplined “every day writer.” Do you take long breaks in between WIPs or do you always have something going?ĭavid: I hate not having something to write. Then, as the household cook, I transition into making dinner. Throw in a little child transportation here and there just to keep things exciting. In the afternoons I’ll usually work on some secondary project, anything from a short story to comics to gaming projects or just research, all depending on what’s going on. I’ll work on my current novel project until about 11 and then exercise, eat lunch, etc. What does a typical day usually look like for you?ĭavid Liss: I’m a morning person, so I usually get up between 4-5am and start working right away. Sadie Hartmann: David, thank you so much for talking with me today. ![]() I sat down with David to talk about his upcoming novel from Tachyon Publication, The Peculiarities. ![]() David Liss is the award-winning author of several historical thrillers, a variety of anthologized short fiction, and Marvel universe comic books. ![]()
