Joe Canzano Author Interview

Suzy Spitfire and the Snake Eyes of Venus finds our eponymous hero involved in a gang war, a revolution and attempting to protect a young girl. How did the idea for this novel start and change as you wrote?

It started with an outline that was about three paragraphs long. I spent a lot of time trying to create a more detailed outline but that wasn’t working out too well so I finally just started writing. This is what happens every time.

I enjoyed the evolution of Suzy’s character in this novel. What were some driving ideas behind her character development in this story?

I think lots of people feel like they should be doing something better with their lives. Suzy’s searching for that better thing, but she doesn’t know if she’ll find it – or if she’s worthy of it.

The writing in this book is excellent. What were some challenges you set for yourself as a writer with this book?

Thanks. I wanted to create deeper characters and a more complex plot than I had in the last book.

What is the next adventure that Suzy is going to get into and when can readers expect it to be available?

I’m not sure. The book I’m writing now has nothing to do with Suzy Spitfire, so it might take a little while.
