Interview with David Paul, Author of Nocturnal

So Dave, why did you become a writer?
I've always had an interest in writing since junior high school. I've had two English professors in college tell me that I was one of the best writers that they have ever come across for a student. Somehow, writing took the back-burner for the longest time. I aborted a sci-fi novel that I had started in 2003 because I just lost interest. I guess the reason that I became a writer was because I was so dissatisfied with what was out there for books and movies. Everything out there seemed so formulaic and lame. I was also not happy with my place in life...I was bored. My thought was that I would try to write books that would get people back into the horror scene or even “revive” the horror scene.
Why do love writing paranormal book(s)?
I've always loved the paranormal and the occult, even growing up. I've read numerous books on the subject of witchcraft, astrology, demonology, magic, ghosts, exorcisms, vampires, voodoo, black magic, and etc, so writing about it seemed the natural progression. It is a comfort zone for me, and it holds my interest.
