Now itвЂ™s official because itвЂ™s coming out typewritten and pretty much from that point itвЂ™s just been non-stop. That was the big switch for me because in third grade I took my first serious attempt at a story, scribbling something on the yellow line paper, but once IвЂ™d found the typewriter, now this was a real. It was one of these gigantic electric things, like when you turn it on and the transformer inside of it starts shaking the whole desk and you could probably punch holes in sheet metal with the keys because they were so powerful and so strong. And then, I guess I was like maybe 8 or 9 and at one point was digging in the closet, and my mom had this old Smith Corona typewriter. When I was a little kid, I had the old Kenner Star Wars Death Star and, basically, I had this progressive diorama, where I had it loaded with figures and every day I would move, I would basically do stop motion, like, вЂњOkay, these guys are going to move a little bit this way and this person going to do this, this person is going to do this this,вЂќ and my mom would come in to tuck me into bed and I would tell her all the things that IвЂ™d changed and what this person was doing and how thatвЂ™s happening and whatвЂ™s going on here. So, actually because of him, I kinda grew up thinking Maine was a weird creepy place, and I completely loved it, but, and I know this sounds super-pretentious, but IвЂ™ve always wanted to tell stories. Stephen KingвЂ™s career and my life are almost exactly parallel. I basically was a very little kid just as Stephen King sort of hit it big and become a name. (Laughs) Brief backstory is I grew up in Maine. First, weвЂ™re going to go back to вЂњThen.вЂќ Can you give us a brief backstory for Peter Clines, the author? So, for the first question, IвЂ™m gonna crib your style for a bit and weвЂ™re going to use the вЂњNowвЂќ and вЂњThenвЂќ format you use in the Ex-Heroes series. You can learn more about Peter Clines and his work by checking out his website or following him on Twitter.Д«y the way, our talk might have some minor spoilers for some of PeterвЂ™s books, so if thereвЂ™s a book of his you donвЂ™t want spoiled, youвЂ™ve been warned! During the course of the interview, we discussed a wealth of topics from his life and his works to pop culture and advice he has for those who want to get into the business of fiction writing.
