John Baker’s Blog

1. Why do you blog?
As a way to communicate to the mystery community at large. It is my way of helping authors get their work recognized more widely and also for my reading audience to have a record of the signing. I also use this as a warm up to my daily writing. As of late, work has been getting in the way.

2. Which author and/or book has most influenced you?
Kent Harrington, Ken Bruen, Ray Banks, Al Guthrie, Duane Swiercysnki, and a certain John Baker.
As for books : Dia De los Muertos, The Guards, The Wheelman

3. Which three blogs do you most visit?
Confessions of An Idiosyncratic Mind at: http://www.sarahweinman.com/
CrimeSpot at: http://www.crimespot.net/
The Saturday Boy at: http://thesaturdayboy.typepad.com/

4. Why do you read fiction?
As a way to relax from the day to day grind. I find that most of the fiction that I have been reading lately addresses many social issues.

5. What makes you laugh?
My wife and kids. We all try to find the lighter side of life daily.
