I have enjoyed these articles immensely, and not just because I’m a sadist. There’s always more to be learned from failure (“here’s what went wrong”) than success (“who knows what we did right?”) and your honesty is so insightful.

You’ve written eloquently on how your experiences on Dracula have informed your later career choices, but did any of them also inspire your fiction?

Thank you for your continuing support of the show! As for Mr. Smiley, the irony is that "DRACULA" wouldn't have happened without him. Because of him, my career transformed. I'm still feeding (pun intended) off that series all these years later. But the experience was a nightmare, and a large part of that was the head writer whom I don't think was remotely well-suited to the series I created.
