Interview with Scott Tinley, Author of Things To Be Survived - Page 6

No offense but the last person I'd expect to see writing a blurb on the back of your book is X-Files creator Chris Carter. What's the connection between you two?

Chris is a friend, a brilliant writer and deeply understated. We surf together and talk of literary things. I think he’s been typecast as the “X-Files dude” but Carter retains some eclectic and interesting talents. Before he started in television he used to throw pottery for a living. When I grow up I want to make vases and pots like Chris and sell them at the Farmer’s Market in Laguna Beach, California on Sunday mornings.
