I have known David Kempf for many years now, and we have had a great relationship, whereby I have published some of his short stories on this site, as well as interviewed him many times regarding his various books. David is a highly intelligent man, with a great and unique writing style. I was very happy to sit down with David and talk not only about his new book "Travel Bug" but also about he started in writing and his interest in Horror and Fantasy, so sit back and read this interview. When did you first become interested in writing? I was never good at math or science so naturally I was attracted to English. I majored in English in college; writing papers saved me from low grades in other subjects. When I was in high school and college, I wrote screenplays for the short movies my friends and I made. After graduating from college, I wrote for local newspapers doing small-town news events, feature stories and movie and theater reviews. How did you get involved in fantasy/hor
