5 questions for Eric Jerome Dickey
By Deirdre Donahue, USA TODAY
Best-selling writer Eric Jerome Dickey specializes in action. Action in the bedroom. Action with a gun. USA TODAY spoke with Dickey, 46, about his new novel, Waking With Enemies (Dutton, $24.95), a sequel that stars a hit man named Gideon. He's on the run in Europe — with plenty of sexy women after him.
1: You've written 14 hit novels. What's your secret? Conflict. If you don't have conflict, you don't turn the pages. My characters are troubled souls with a lot of inner struggle and outer struggle.
3: What writers do you like? I just bought these books: The Stolen Heart by Joyce Carol Oates (writing as Lauren Kelly); Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer and Quiet Days in Clichy; William Henry Lewis' I Got Somebody in Staunton; Sarahbeth Purcell's Love Is the Drug; and Kathryn Harrison's Envy.
4: Do friends or family ever say your books shock them? They might have thought that, but no one has said it to me. It's like picking up Playboy and complaining about the centerfold.
5: Would your readers be disappointed if you didn't have the incredible love life of your characters? How would they know? I keep my personal life personal.
