ISSUE #9 | An Interview with Pedro Iniguez
Pedro Iniguez lives in Eagle Rock, California, a quiet community in Northeast Los Angeles. He spends his time reading, writing, and painting, which stems from his childhood love of science fiction, horror, and comic books. His work can be found in various magazines and anthologies such as: Space and Time Magazine, Crossed Genres, Dig Two Graves, Writers of Mystery and Imagination, Deserts of Fire, and Altered States II. His other works can be found on Amazon.
PLANET SCUMM: What place, activity, attitude, or time of day seems to best prompt new writing ideas for you?
PEDRO INIGUEZ: I usually do my best writing at night. That's also when I get my best ideas. The drone of cars and people has died down and all you're left with is the still of the night and the ideas in your head become that much louder and clearer. At least for me.
PS: What are you working on now?
PI: Currently I’m going back and forth between my second novel and a few children's book manuscripts.
PS: Whatcha reading?
PI: The Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe.
PS: What was your first favorite book?
PI: 1984 by George Orwell. The future the book portrays is one that struck fear in me and one I definitely didn't want to live in. That's how powerful the book is.
