Can you tell us a little bit about yourself<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><strong>PD:<\/strong> I write books, that\u2019s what I do. Good ones, crazy ones, fun books, entertaining books, scary creepy books that are absolutely insane, books with depth and books with excitement, and books that tear out the heart of humanity and throws it on a slab to be feasted on. Yeah, that\u2019s what I do, I write books. Any questions?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><strong>When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><strong>PD: <\/strong>I\u2019ve been writing ever since I can remember. I wrote my first full-length novel at 12 years old, so the idea of being a full time writer has always been on my mind. If I had to pinpoint an exact age, I would say ten years old, during a time when I was writing short stories consistently and also writing for my grade school newspaper. I knew then that writing was what I wanted in my life. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><strong>Your books are so creative and unique compared to similar genres. What inspired you to write this particular series?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><strong>PD: <\/strong>The idea spawned about two decades ago and was largely influenced by Star Wars, The Matrix, Ancient Aliens, and John Carpenter films, like <em>They Live<\/em> and <em>The Thing<\/em>. The idea behind alien vampires, however, came about when I was a young lad, probably around 4. At that time there was a sci-fi television series called Buck Rogers, and on one of the episodes they featured a space vampire that scared the all mighty hell out of me (remember I was 4). The concept stayed with me for so long after, I had to write about them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><strong>What is your writing process like? Do you typically develop your characters or plot first?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><strong>PD: <\/strong>Plot first, always. The idea usually spawns first with an emotion, scene, and lesson to be learned. Then the plot develops, attracting the appropriate characters to represent the narrative. These all become ideas I write down, usually in a word doc or by sending myself little emails. Once the most major plot points have been thought of, I then allow the story to sit and ferment for a while, which helps to bring up additional concepts I want to include in the book and especially specific scenes or narratives I want in the story. Then, one fateful day, I sit down to write and hang on tight, wide eyed as the story unfolds and never, not once, do I look at the word document or those emails with all those notes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><strong>What part of the book did you have the hardest time writing?\u00a0<\/strong><strong>\u00a0(without giving away too many spoilers?)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><strong>PD: <\/strong>The hardest scene to write was the climax for both Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. Both Volume\u2019s have a climax that ends with a bang, and a large scale battle. When writing across multiple viewpoints, as a writer we want the pacing to be perfect; switching from scene to scene, character to character, and then having to decide which point of view will push the narrative across to the finish line with the most profound impact. As a writer, to me the ending needs to be awesomely perfect. I\u2019ve read a lot of books lately where the end was a true disappointment, as if the writer was so engrossed in writing the meat of the story they forgot how important a powerful ending can be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><strong>What part of the book(s) was the most fun to write and why?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><strong>PD: <\/strong>Every part of writing The Rose series has been fun to write. Truthfully, I feel like a little kid when writing the series, as if I\u2019m discovering Star Wars or Star Trek for the first time, or reading books like <em>The Time Machine<\/em> or <em>Dune<\/em> for the first time. It truly has been amazing and I\u2019m thankful to the powers of creation for allowing me a bit of self-nostalgia over the last few years. I think the most fun I have when writing The Rose is introducing, hiding, or adding into the plot the intricate and fine details pertaining to things like: conspiracies, alien theories, quantum mechanics, ancient philosophical concepts, science of mind concepts, and spiritual components or philosophies (that aren\u2019t mainstream but garner a rather intricate and detailed concept of the universe)<\/span>.<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><strong>If you could meet your characters in person, what<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>would you say to them?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><strong>PD: <\/strong>\u201cYou have all done an excellent job, now pick up your belongings and follow me.

I love whales and I love swimming. Plus I\u2019m a big guy, so whales seem to fit me quite well. I\u2019m kind and compassionate, but also an absolute beast when needed- much like the blue whale. I\u2019ve convinced my wife and kids that when we reincarnate, we should all come back as a family of blue whales. Cool right? At least I think so, the family took some convincing.<\/span><br \/><br \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><strong>What is your favorite food?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><strong>PD:<\/strong> Imported Del Parma Prosciutto with thinly sliced fresh mozzarella, fresh basil and black pepper on NY Italian bread.<\/span><br \/><br \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><strong>What book(s) did you love the most as a kid?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><strong>PD:<\/strong> A few books come to mind with this question. I remember loving Peter Pan as early as Kindergarten and definitely into second grade. Also, I grew up close to the town of Sleepy Hollow, NY, and Washington Irving\u2019s classic <em>The Legend of Sleepy Hollow<\/em> was required reading at a very early age (not the actual book itself but the kids version of the story). I still love that story, and even wrote a re-imagining a few years ago, titled \u201cKnickerbocker\u201d, which is the featured novelette in my short story collection \u201cTwisted Tales of Deceit\u201d. But, both Peter and the Headless Horseman took a back seat after reading Ray Bradbury\u2019s <em>Something Wicked This Way Comes<\/em> once I turned the grade and arrived in middle school (aren\u2019t those years supremely awkward on every level). Such a fascinating book, and considering I was the same age as the main characters, it hit home. I still consider this as one of my all time favorites. The movie was fantastic too.<\/span><br \/><br \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><strong>What is one item you could\u00a0never\u00a0live without?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><strong>PD:<\/strong> A pen and notebook.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bookerybliss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/theroseseries-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13968\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bookerybliss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/theroseseries-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.bookerybliss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/theroseseries-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.bookerybliss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/theroseseries-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.bookerybliss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/theroseseries-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.bookerybliss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/theroseseries-465x465.png 465w, https:\/\/www.bookerybliss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/theroseseries-500x500.png 500w, https:\/\/www.bookerybliss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/theroseseries.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"tadv-color\">FANS, GET EXCITED&#8230;.

Sandy later learns she has powers she never knew existed, Phil travels through time and visits Genesys, and Sanos&#8217; obsession with power makes him reckless and unpredictable. And who exactly is Robyn Winter anyways? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">Hunted by aliens and fighting for their lives, The Rose is a gripping tale of suspense, action, and horror that will
