My pleasure! Mr. Burke prowls here so it seems right to have it here. I can't watch the interview because I'm in it, but I had way more fun than I should have talking to him. That probably makes for a bad/unprofessional interview. But here we are!

For years I didn't join, then I joined, then I deactivated my account, then reactivated it again, and now I'm on the verge of deactivating it again. LOL.

For the last year I have been off Facebook and my mental health has improved

Thank you Jeff. Just watched it and enjoyed it.

Thank you Jeff. Just watched it and enjoyed it.

At least half your last sentence is a fabrication. That's not possible for you to have done both.

Indeed I did enjoy it. I never did figure out what the person was scrolling through on the TV in the background though.

For anyone interested in viewing it, here's my interview with Kealan Patrick Burke:

What a treat! Thanks for providing this great interview for us Facebookless folks, Jeff, really appreciate it...this is something I would've hated to miss.

EDIT: The interview also answered a question I had regarding the contents...I was puzzled why one of Kealan's more popular (arguably the most popular novella, it seems) novellas of late, The House on Abigail Lane, wasn't included in the collection. With the understanding from the interview that all the novellas were intended to revolve around the theme of an unwelcome Guest intruding upon events, Abigail wouldn't really jive with that theme. In fact, it's really the opposite of that, wherein the intruders, so to speak, are the people that enter the House on Abigail Lane for various reasons.

hahahaha yeah that was annoying when I saw it. My kids were playing video games. I think it was Little Big Planet.

Well I'm glad you got to see it! I loved hearing about the Kin prequel. That was such a gem.

Me, too — I really hope he does manage to get that one written!

[Ben Staad]

That one had me very interested as well. Hope it's able to come about some day.

I too really hope the Kin prequel comes to pass. I am also very interested in his recently completed novel. Elsewhere he stated that it was a very personal story.

Far and away the most personal thing I've written. It broke me multiple times. I'm hoping once it gets out there it resonates with people.

That's exactly right, Ron. I also wanted to keep it to novellas that hadn't been collected already (ABIGAIL was in WE LIVE INSIDE YOUR EYES), which is also why I didn't include THE TENT, as CD have it as part of the SELECT series.

I stumbled on you talking on Instagram live about and I have been wanting to read it ever since. Any news on a possible publication?
