Heath : Thanks so much for taking some time out of your writing schedule to talk about your work! To say that you're prolific feels like an understatement; you've published over 20 novels and consistently release multiple books within a year. Your latest novel, Demon Dagger --a supernatural thriller in which the predator becomes the prey--is your third release of 2022. Also, while you frequently work in the horror genre, you also write adventure tales featuring paleontologist Grant Coleman and park ranger Kathy West. Where do you draw inspiration for your stories, which all seem to draw upon monsters, demons, the supernatural, and science gone wrong? Russell James : Every story has a different spark that lights its fire. It frequently comes from something I've experienced or an article I've read.

This is not my video, but I'm posting it here because I love it and I think it deserves to be appreciated by as many people as possible. Fact #1: John Carpenter is the best. Fact #2: Doctor Who is also the best. YouTube's GeorgeCMusic decided to combine the two together and created something that is so awesome that I can hardly stand it. The marriage of seventies-era John Carpenter synthesizer with seventies era Doctor Who (think Tom Baker's Fourth Doctor) hits me right where I live. It's spooky in exactly the way that it needs to be and sounds JUST LIKE what Ron Grainer's classic Doctor Who theme would have sounded like if John Carpenter worked for the BBC Radiophonic Workshop circa 1978.
