Point and Shoot is a treble-themed book, the gritty PI, the loving and caring companion, and the ‘karate kid’. You handled the change-up in writing very well; did you find it difficult to switch from style to style?

I think that we wear many hats in our lives. The idea of exploring one aspect of a character’s life to the exclusion of others, is often just an expression of lazy writing. We are all an amalgam of such things as our work, our love life and the dark pendulum swinging over our head, reminding us that it all ultimately ends. The key is to create characters that show us what it is like to inhabit their skin.

Is there anything else that my readers should know about the rather anonymous sounding ‘G. D. Baum’, maybe your name for example?

If the book keeps getting the wonderful reception that we received on Blogcritics, I might just decide to open the kimono a bit, so to speak.

Thank you for spending time talking with me. I am sure that our readers will enjoy this insight into the mind of G. D. Baum, good luck with Point and Shoot, and your new project.
