Interview #2 author Emlyn Rees

How did you go about getting Hunted published in the US market?

I’ve always been a huge fan of US mystery and thriller writers, such as James Lee Burke, Patricia Highsmith, James Ellroy, Dennis Lehane, Harlan Coben and C J Box, and my writing has been very much influenced by them too. I always hoped, then, that I’d one day get an opportunity to put my work out in front of a US audience. And with Hunted I’m finally getting that chance.

How does your writing process look? Consistent with regular amounts of word counts daily/weekly… or more sporadic with a gush of words all at once and then a dry bed for a while?

When I started out writing, I was completely disorganized. I’d work through the nights, or in between casual jobs, or in fit or starts, whenever the urge grabbed me. These days, though, what with being a father, a husband and a full time editor, I have to plan my time a lot more carefully, aiming to hit a specific word count every day. My writing time now feels more precious than ever.

Is there a question you'd love someone to ask you, but they haven't?

If so, what is it, and how would you answer it?

Yes, and the question would be: ‘What national competition did you come 4th in?’ The answer: ‘The UK Chili Eating Championship’. That was kind of my Olympic gold moment.
