John Searles

I always joke deep down I'm really a teenage girl on the inside.

When I first came to New York, I would scream like a girl and run to the other side of the street if there was a pigeon. Now I can face off with a pigeon.

I take stuff from real life and try to make a character out of it. And I try to live the world of the characters a little bit.

I laugh at absurdity hardest, then stories, then observations, then bearded men on roller skates.

I have some shorter stories coming out in other books early next year. I might be pitching a re-vamp of Ghost Rider in the spring. We'll see.
