Q A with Robert K Lewis

This week we sat down with Robert K. Lewis, author of the Mark Mallen Novels. His latest, Innocent Damage, is out now!

Midnight Ink: How long have you been writing?

Robert K. Lewis: About seventeen years, give or take.

MI: What influence have other authors had on your writing?

RKL: I love a strong voice, so I�ve spent a lot of time with the noir heavy hitters such as Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler, and Ed McBain. A more contemporary example of a strong voice that influenced me would be Kem Nunn. However, beyond the writing, these authors also influenced me by showing me just how hard writing can be, and how much work it takes to get better with every book.

MI: If you weren�t a writer, what would you be doing?

RKL: Playing blues guitar in a power trio or quartet. I love playing the blues, and playing it very loud is a pre-requisite.

MI: If you have a job outside of writing, what is it?

RKL: I�m the office manager of the art department at UC Berkeley.  Best possible job and environment for me to have, given that my other job is writing books.

MI: What is/are your favorite thing/s to do when you�re not writing or working?

RKL: Playing blues and hard rock guitar, learning piano, and drinking.

MI: Who is your favorite mystery sleuth and why?

RKL: Frank Kane�s Johnny Liddell. He�s tough, never gives up no matter how much he�s been beaten and battered, and will always solve the case no matter what the price. He�s the sort of detective that will come after you again and again, even if it means dragging himself along the road on his bloodied elbows.

MI: Do you have a favorite murder case from a book (either yours or another author�s)?

RKL: The Abbey Grange, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. This is not only my favorite murder mystery, it�s also one of my favorite Sherlock Holmes stories. The Abbey Grange is actually one of the inspirations for Mark Mallen, because this is where Holmes really becomes judge and jury, and by doing so, gives us a glance into his great heart. This story is Holmes in one of his finest moments.

MI: What was your inspiration for this series?

RKL: Ah, that�s a large question. Mallen is made up of so many things that I�ve watched, read, and witnessed. There are, of course, the classic detectives: Sam Spade, Marlowe, Johnny Liddell, and Mike Hammer. Then there are the New York cop films of the 1970s: The French Connection, Serpico, The Seven Ups, The Warriors, Taxi Driver, and Death Wish. Also on that list would be other gritty films such as Panic in Needle Park and Midnight Cowboy.

MI: How does this book/series compare to your past works?

RKL: The Mark Mallen series bears no resemblance at all to my earlier works. When I began writing long-form fiction (I�d written screenplays before turning to fiction), I wanted to be a literary writer. That died on the vine. After that I wrote an urban fantasy that went nowhere when I queried agents. I would have to say though that if there were anycomparison to my earlier work, it would be in how I write my protagonists. I want to write heroes that will not be stopped. They keep going on, no matter what.

MI: Do you have a pet? Tell us about him/her.

RKL: Not anymore. However, I�m haunted by the ghosts of three very cranky cats.

 

MI: If you don�t have a pet, do you have a favorite animal?

RKL: Cats. I love cats. They�re possessed of so many personality layers. They can be fastidious, but have no problem shooting litter all over the floor. They love you unconditionally, until they don�t. They have a fascination with throwing things off of counters and tables. Endless amusement. The only thing I have to complain about is that I wish they travelled better. Can you image a cat loving a car ride, hanging its head out the window, filled with the joy of being in a car? Man, that would be greatness.

MI:What food could you live off of for the rest of your life?

RKL: Is Scotch a food? If not, then Patty Melts.

MI: Do you have a favorite recipe?

RKL: For destruction, or success? Oh, you mean food? Then that would be my mother�s recipe for baked chicken. She was a scratch cook, and her cooking usually included every spice in the house, using her intuition as her cookbook.

MI: What�s your favorite part about being an Inker?

RKL: The level of input I�ve been able to give, and having that input acknowledged. There are not many publishers out there that would allow the writer to have a large say regarding covers, but my editor and the artists over at Midnight Ink did. Add to that the level of communication I received from my editor and copy editor and I would say unequivocally that this has been a fantastic experience.

MI:Were the Mark Mallen Novels based off of/inspired by your own life in any way?

RKL: I�ve lived, from time to time, in some very hard environments. When I was sixteen years old, I rented a studio apartment located next to a very old and very large Victorian building, every flat filled with someone eking out a living any way they could, by any means possible. I also lived in the Tenderloin of San Francisco for many years, and if anything, Mallen�s books were influenced by what I witnessed in both of those places, along with the people I saw there and interacted with.

MI: Why did you create Mark Mallen as a former junkie?

RKL: Mallen is a former junkie because I wanted to show that it is possible to overcome our demons. Our world is filled with addictions. Drugs. Alcohol. The Internet. Porn. Our iPhone. You name it, and we seem to have an addiction for it. It takes a strong will, focus, and determination to overcome those addictions, along with the belief that those addictions can in fact be overcome. I wrote Mallen the way he is because I live in hope that we can regain the inner strength and moral compass that I feel our society has lost.

Scent is told in the first-person perspective of Bianca B Wisetail.? B is called the Last Circulator with no other Circulators born after her.? She is the cherished only child of Jessica and Hunter Wisetail; a mother who is a Circulator and a father who is a Lokoti Werewolf.?? However on the night of a full moon before her 18th Birthday, a new surprising feature arises inside of B that throws the Lokoti Tribes long history of the Lokoti Werewolf upside down.
?
The world outside is recuperating after World War Three with the Lokoti Werewolves protecting the borders of the Lokoti National Park in Alaska against marauders.? Inside the tribe, the families are closed-knit where everyone knows everyone.? One of these families are the Sabre family who are the only non-Lokoti invited to live on tribal lands.? As B is best friends with Derik who is the same age as she, its a different story with Deriks older brother Declan.?
?
Declan is a European Werewolf and an honorary member of the male dominated Lokoti Werewolf pack.? He and B grow up fighting each other just as Declan fights for the tribes safety as he patrols the borders with the other Werewolves.? Declans sarcastic comments and his biting one-liners are constantly aimed Bs way.? However after Bs change, their fiery exchange turns into something else... a forbidden love.? Declan knows because of his breed of Werewolf that his secret affection for the tribes Last Circulator and first female Lokoti Werewolf would be frowned upon.
?
European Werewolves are classified the most dangerous breed of Werewolf in the world.? Although Declan was trained the Lokoti Werewolf way to curb his deadly hunger, prejudice still arises.?? Instead of Declan placing B on a pedestal?? With his European Werewolf personality he pounced instead.? European Werewolves just love a good fight, which was exactly what Declan got when he secretly chased the tribes only female Werewolf.?
?
From the mistrust towards his breed, Declan is forced to silently watch Bs arranged marriage to another member of the pack. Although her husband is a good man, B comes to miss the chemistry she shared with her supposed worst enemy. Navigating their rocky romance, B and Declan also have to contend with human looters carrying shotguns loaded with silver bullets, the odd European Vampire, other European Werewolves who are still man-eaters and even a sensitive issue that human couples may face; a barren marriage.? With such an obstacle course that could make a new driver hug a traffic cone for comfort; B and Declan find not only passion but absolution in their bloodlust-fueled desires.???

From the Back Cover
Scent is a delicious tail of a fiery relationship when at first the Last Circulator cant stand the tribes sarcastic and most dangerous Werewolf, however their feelings change to a forbidden love. In a world where Shape Shifters differ culturally as well as physically; B Wisetail and Declan Sabre find not only passion but absolution in their bloodlust-fueled desires. The Lokoti call Circulators the Light People because of their unique abilities coupled with their auras which Shape Shifters can see. Then bake in Alaska as a sanctuary after World War Three, garnish with differing species of Vampires, other breeds of Werewolves and marauding humans. Serves one.

About the Author
The adventures of the deliriously happy but slightly insane...but even insanity appreciates company.
?
onaya3 is a self-confessed writerholic, but rather than seeking help for her addictions, instead she indulges her obsessive compulsive disorder.? The remotes must sit in order on the coffee table, as must her DVD collection on her bookshelves.? She indulges in many a DVD day with wine and brie with friends and watches either the Star Trek Series, Dr. Who, X-Files, Supernatural, True Blood, Dexter, Northern Exposure, Scrubs, Red Dwarf, Monty Python, The Goodies, The Big Bang Theory or Mad Men.?
?
However her passions which come out as popular subjects in her sci-fi, supernatural, romance series are traveling (the world and through time), hauntings, werewolves, vampires, voodoo, ESP and always looking on the bright side of life (and death).

If you want a really bad story go for it.
By Marie
This entire book is all over the place and has way too much going on. Then to make it the writers have the 17 year old heroine raped by the wolf they want to convince you is her true love. The guy is hunting in wolf form changes back to human attacks and forces himself on her. After the first 4 times he gets off then Bianca decides its okay. There was no way it wasnt rape and it was gross. Declan is a low life in every way but try to make it seem like he should really be with Bianca even while she was married to a wonderful guy who was killed. Bianca is the first female wolf of her race and the last circulator. This makes her barren, she is forced into all the decisions that are made. I kept wanting her to be the one to die. Any girl that is that whiny and that stupid is so shallow who cares what happens to her!
