FAQ's
FAQ: Can Zane write with both hands?
Answer: Zane only writes with his left hand because his right is too busy throwing curveball endings and darts into plot holes.
FAQ: Has Zane ever included a secret message in his books?
Answer: Great question. Yes, every book contains a secret code to finding the lost remote control. Unfortunately, Zane lost the secret decoder ring, so the mystery lives on.
FAQ: Why does it take Zane so fucking long to write books?
Answer: Well, now, there's the million dollar question. Zane attributes most of the lengthy writing process to ADHD and an affinity for anything new and shiny. Additionally, Zane has moved twice in the last two years (including the upcoming move to KC) and enjoys home remodeling immensely. Therefore, remodel projects often seem to inadvertently take precedence. However, Zane is actively working to resolve this issue. 
FAQ: Is Zane working on a new book and when can readers expect it to land in their hands?
Answer: Zane would like to plead the fifth on this question. However, we did discover that Zane has started Book 8. There is a title, a cover, and a plot for book 8 and it's juicy. Zane suggests readers hold onto their hats. Twenty-twenty-four is looking twisty for Drunk.
FAQ: How many cups of coffee does it take Zane to write a book.
Answer: Zero. Zane fucking hates coffee, but it takes two energy drinks a day for survival and extra if the hound dogs are especially loud that day. 
FAQ: Are any characters in Zane's book based on real characters in Zane's World (Party on!)
Answer: Yes, Al and Evie Becker are real life homages paid to Zane's beloved late grandparents, who were also Case IH owners and are dearly missed. 
FAQ: Does Zane share any commonalities with his fictional protagonist, Danny Drunk?
Answer: Another great question. Yes, like Drunk, Zane also hates all things coconut, but loves chocolate and Dr. Pepper. Zane and Drunk also share one brain and one mouth--including, but not limited to their sense of humor and potty mouth. While Drunk is much cockier than Zane, Zane has been luckier in the love department than Drunk.
FAQ: I wrote to Zane, but never received a reply, WTF?
Answer: Zane has been warned about this issue on more than one occasion. Zane does admit a dislike for social media and checking email, however, Zane would like to issue a blanket apology to all that this issue has affected and promises to do better in the future.
