Author Carl D. Smith Digital Book Nook recently caught up with Carl D. Smith, author of “More Than Rust.” We are excited to share this insightful interview with our readers today.  When did you first discover that you enjoy writing and wanted to become a published author? I have always loved to read, but it wasn't until in the 5th grade when I was introduced to "The Veldt" by Ray Bradbury that writing became a passion for me. It would be decades of start and stop writing before I would sit down and make a go of it. What is your favorite and the most challenging aspect of writing? Worldbuilding is my favorite part of writing. It is so satisfying to set up rules, even when hidden to the reader, and then having the "physics" of the story obey those rules. It's also the most challenging part of the process, as you have to be cautious not to get too abstract or self-indulgent and sacrifice a good story. Tell us about your latest release.

  Vigilante justice is often the best kind of justice. Professionally guided hunts are typically the best kind of hunts. Your guides will be members of the Tavenner Group. Your quarry might be a serial rapist... or a murderous gangster... or a child molester... you name the type of hunt you'd like to go on... and the Tavenner Group will take it from there... for a substantial price, of course. Ben Tavenner is an eye doctor... a psychoanalyst... and a killer of those deserving to die. He works to "make the world a better place," as he puts it. Natalie Darden seems willing to give up her last tress of innocence to have Ben. As his secretary for eight years, the one-eyed yet still quite pretty Miss Darden has no idea how her boss earns most of the money he spends. But soon she will find out. Available on Kindle, in paperback, and audiobook.
