The edges get crispy first, while the middle is just a bit undercooked. He finds that the middle is the toughest part of writing a book, as well as the part that he hates the most. Quirks of his include needing to have nicotine, coffee, and soda as he writes.

It was something awful about an angel that fell down from heaven to hunt demons. The first story he remembers writing was something that never had a title. It is a book that has taught him everything about grimdark. He is rather fond of “Are You There God, It’s Me, Margaret?”. It kickstarted a love of the darkly funny, the strange, and the magical within him that has never left. His writing influences include Robin Hobb, Roger Zelazny, and Stephen King.Ĭlayton started reading Hans Christian Anderson, the Brothers Grimm, and Madeline L’Engle, as well as others from an early age. He has worked as a developer, system admin for a video game retailer, and project manager, and has penned many short stories that have been published by numerous magazines.
