“…there were numerous twists and turns along the journey that made it all a highly addictive read from start to finish.” – Carrie G Savage Reckoning is available at the following retailers: Here’s a link to an interview I did with them recently where I try to explain what it is I write about: A Conversation with Crime Novelist C. It makes me sound like I know what the hell I’m doing.

Hoyt Caldwell, author of Savage ReckoningĪs always, Savage Reckoning is available as an e-book at the following online retailers:Īccording to OmniMystery News, I’m a crime novelist. You can read the rest of the interview here: Interview with C. It gives you the illusion of knowing how real life works. Calling it my favorite makes me sound like a horrible person because it focuses on how tragic their lives are, but as a writer, exploring the destruction of a character’s life can be liberating. It features Step and his girlfriend, Bones, in his house. I initially wrote it as one but broke it up into two parts in rewrites.

Here’s a partial answer to my answer to the question: “What scene in Savage Reckoning was your favorite to write?” Hoyt photo here to counteract the trauma of seeing that old photo. I gave up on the notion about a year into the experiment and let my freak flag fly. Hoyt can be excessively vulgar, I wanted to separate my two “author” identities.

The one problem with the interview is that they used an ancient picture of me that I created to disguise my true identity when I first invented C. Nobody has ever asked me what is the one book I would require the president to read. I loved doing this interview because the questions weren’t the typical “author’ questions. I can’t adequately express my appreciation for what you did with the pages I gave you. I WANT MORE!!! I have a feeling you spoiled me by giving me such a painless introduction to this world. I thank them all for giving me the taste of being a produced playwright. I’m going to miss the updates from the cast and director. To be frank, 2017 has gotten off to a horrible start for me and those closest to me, so I was happy to have this as a distraction for the past three weeks. 5th Wall helped me develop the piece from a ten-minute script to a full-length play so I couldn’t be happier that it had its world premiere with the folks that helped me hone and craft the story. I was fortunate enough to be there for two of them. They worked incredibly hard on putting the production together and staging seven performances of the play. While I could not be there, I found out through Facebook that it was a sold out performance. Last night was the final performance of One Bear Lake at 5th Wall Productions theater.
