Even as a kid, if I would come across something cool in the record store, that would be how I found out about bands. It's kind of the same way these days. In a way even less because there are no record stores to go to anymore.
You have to go out of your way as a suspense novelist to find situations where the protagonists are somewhat helpless and in real danger.
There were days that I literally had no reason to get out of bed. It just was so destructive for me.
