Name: Gary Starta
1) How long have you been writing? Now reaching the ten year mark after I wrote a few short stories and what became my first novel beginning in fall 2004.
2) What or who was your inspiration to write? It is a mix of Isaac Asimov, Dean Koontz, Stephen King, Jim Buther, Laurell K. Hamilton and Rachel Caine.
3) Which genre do you like to read? I like SCI FI and Fantasy primarily as I tend to blend the two together, especially in my novel Demon Inhibitions.
4) Do you write this genre or others? I write mixed genres or what I refer to as ‘fiction on the fringe of genre’. I blend SCI FI, Paranormal, Urban Fantasy and Mystery/Crime with a touch of Romance.
5) Who are your favorite authors? Dean Koontz jumps to mind, I love his storytelling and witty dialogue.
6) How do you choose your characters names? Whatever springs to mind most often and in the case of Caitlin Diggs, I can’t recall – which is funny – because maybe she named herself to me from some other reality.
7) Do you edit as you write or after you get your manuscript written? I write and edit together; I think it’s what you do when you’ve been at this awhile. I tend to re-read at a later date to see if the flow works.
8) Do you have an agent, publisher, or self-publish? If you’ve used more than one which was most profitable? I do both actually. I recently self published three of the four books of the Caitlin Diggs series but my forthcoming book Dead Market has been agented and placed at a traditional publisher.
9) What advice would you give a new writer? Persistence. Keep doing this if it’s in you and it’s what you love.

Now @ $.99 BLOOD WEB – Caitlin Diggs #1
5 star read!
…the story pulled me in, and wouldn’t let go. A young man with emotional problems, a man who wants to control the world, a disheartened FBI agent and they are on a collision course, all controlled by the power of an arrowhead shaped pink crystal. Very riveting story, and I really want to follow the FBI agent, Caitlin, into her further adventures. I believe this series will hold many more surprises, and look forward to traveling them with her.
I love this story. The author is inventive and tells the story in a very interesting way. It is well written by a truly terrific author.
