YES! A Fresh Face Friday bonus!
What better way to start off a Friday then with an awesome Interview & Giveaway?
So I figured that I'd ask Nathan a few questions so you guys could get to know him a little bit better :)
If you weren't an author, what would be your dream profession?
I would be a filmmaker. As a matter of fact, I'm currently on hiatus from film making (I have two super low budget films under my belt already, HUNTING SEASON and BURNING INSIDE and Dark Matter Heart is based on an original, unproduced screenplay that I wrote in 2005) because I don't currently have the resources (time, money) to pursue it at the level that I would like. I still want to continue to tell stories and writing novels and short stories allows me to do that without the massive money investment (and risk) involved in film making. Once I'm on my feet and established as an author I'll split my attention between writing and film making. I'd also like to go back to producing and directing for the stage as well. Ultimately I'd like to be able to do all three. As soon as I have the resources to do it at the level that it demands, my short film adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher is ready to shoot.
Top 3 Favorite Cartoon Characters EVER?
Carl Fredricksen from UP, Butthead from Beavis & Butthead, and Voltron (even though Voltron isn't a single character but the combination of the robotic lions operated by 5 characters. Yes, I cheated).
How long do you see the Dark Matter Heart series going for? Would there ever possibly be a spin-off?
I can currently envision 3 books. I'm somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 through with Book 2 which should be out in October and since I know where this one ends I know where book 3 begins. I envision the series becoming something where I could pick up in a year and write a standalone adventure/thriller involving Cor, Taylor and Caitlyn (and maybe a few other characters they pick up along the way). There could definitely be a spin off. I really like Taylor and I could see him getting into plenty of trouble on his own. I think it would also be challenging to write a book focused on Caitlyn, especially with some of the things she experiences in Book 2 and how her life changes.

Hi, I'd love to enter the U.S giveaway.
My favorite cartoon character is Lisa from the Simpsons because even around all of the hectic people in her family, she knows who she is and has a good head on her shoulder. Plus everyone in my family says she reminds them of me and often call me Lisa. =)
