My interview with “Follow The Money” author Ross Cavins
This past week, I had the opportunity to chat with Ross Cavins, author of “Follow the Money”. If you haven’t had a chance to read my review of the book, you can find it here. We covered a wide range of topics including his experience with self-publishing, who and what makes him laugh, the stalker on his front lawn, and, of course, his plan of action once the zombie apocalypse finally occurs.
Review – “Follow The Money” by Ross Cavins
A few weeks ago, I joined Library Thing – a website dedicated to book lovers and book reviewers. One of the services that Library Thing offers is the opportunity to request review copies of both current and upcoming books. I checked the current list of titles offered and put in a request for “Follow the Money” by Ross Cavins. A few days later I was notified that I was one of the members chosen to receive the book. Luckily, it arrived on an afternoon when I was between books, so I dove right in.
On the cover, “Follow the Money” is billed as “a collection of interconnected short stories”. That, more than anything is what led me to request the book. I don’t normally read much short form fiction – but adding in a thematic element to join a series of stories together is right up my alley. I love a story that makes a non-obvious or previously unseen connection to another story (Wicked). I love a movie that looks at the same event from many different angles (Noises Off…
). I love an author who pays off the careful attention by his or her readers by recalling characters or events from previous works (Ysabel by Guy Gavriel Kay). Give me a taste of one of those elements and I am intrigued.
