Perfecting My Evil Laugh

In writing the Melvin Beederman series, I'm constantly on the lookout for interesting villains to pit against my superhero protagonist and his feisty sidekick.  What do all great villains have in common?  A great evil laugh, that's what.  In order to get into the head of my bad guys I find it necessary to start each writing session with a good hearty evil laugh.  Also, as a father of two teenage daughters, this comes in handy when young men call the house.  "You want to talk to my daughter?  Mwah ha ha!"

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, being a writer helps me be a better dad.  Greg

Greg Trine is a truly inspirational writer and speaker. When he visited my class, he captivated my students with stories of his challenges and successes as a writer, inspiring them with lessons of perseverance and encouragement. The activities he worked on with them showed how they could embody traits of character just as noble and just as funny as Melvin Beederman's. He was very entertaining, and the evil laugh contest was a hoot!
