Brian Freeman worked in marketing and PR before going it alone as a novelist. He is the author of the Lieutenant Jonathan Stride series.
Freeman: I’m not nearly as scary as the photo on my web site makes me look.
Freeman: Why are these islands always so restrictive about what you can bring? Who sets these rules? :o) Okay, I’ll stop whining. I guess I would take Land of the Living by Kristine W Moody, mysterious, and scary, like me.
Freeman: An author! It’s true!
Freeman: That would be my wife of 23 years, Marcia. She was my next-door neighbor in college and is still my best friend.
Freeman: People who tell others what to do would have to spend a day in their shoes first.
Freeman: I’d have to say TRINITY by Leon Uris. It was one of my all-time favorites when I was growing up. Of course, when I was growing up, I used to hold up books by Brian Freemantle and cover up the “tle” with my thumb. So I was a little odd.
Freeman: People who are quick to judge other people.
Robert Ludlum. First, I’d tell him how much I enjoyed his books. Then I’d ask him, now that he’s dead, to please stop writing them. I don’t need the competition.
Halle Berry. Did I mention I was no fool?
Marcia, my wife. Most people find her much more interesting than me. Plus, no way she’s letting me have dinner with Halle alone.
Freeman: Anyone who looks as scary as my web site photo.
Freeman: I had a wonderful composition teacher in 8th Grade who knew I enjoyed writing. She pretty much threw out the lesson plan for me. When I came to class, she told me to simply sit there and write my stories. Which I did. I thanked her in the acknowledgments to my first book, IMMORAL.
Freeman: London. So you guys better buy a lot of books!
