I was the spotlight author today on "Love in a book!!"
There is a great interview.
Here is a sample:
Writing, editing, cover design, formatting, etc. Share your ups and downs and how you went about it. If you used a service, can you share?
The story for Hath No Fury came to me more or less all at once. I spent a month getting the basics out of my head onto paper. I spent the next year actually writing it and another year editing it.
I have two pieces of advice for someone who is trying to write and can never get started.
1. Get out of your home. Write in a coffee shop, a park, anywhere that you won’t be distracted to do anything but write (and maybe drink coffee)
2. Write an outline! It doesn’t have to be pretty, but know basically where you are going on paper before you start up your word processor. SO many projects get lost by hoping for inspiration from a flashing cursor.
How likely are people you meet to end up in your next book?
If I know you well, very likely. I find it’s easier if you base your characters on a person (or sometimes two people). It really helps with dialogue.
What is your favorite part of writing?
Getting in “the zone.” The semi-hypnotic state when the story just can’t seem to get out fast enough. It’s clearly a high akin to what some pro-athletes say they feel when they push themselves beyond normal expectations.

I just had a great Author Interview on Laurie's Paranormal Features!
Where do you research for your books?
I went to Louisiana for some of it. It gave me a real feel for Voodoo, and the atmosphere.
I did a lot of research into Voodoo and their practices. One of the themes in the book is the common threads between the magickal disciplines. They have more in common than not. Like learning a new language, if you know one, you can translate it to another.
I also had to do some research into demonology and even Satanism.
What was one of the most surprising things you learned while writing your books?
How all religions are more alike than not. Why not celebrate what we all have in common rather than fighting over what’s different

I just had a great author interview on the site, "Immortality and Beyond!"
BK: How did your writing journey begin?
I was always into writing stories in high school, but my professional wirting career began by accident.
Back in the early days before Facebook and before Blogs, I created a web site for Horror themes called, Frightscape.com. It’s still in existence in its very primitive form.
Anyway, I decided to write an article for my own site about one of the scariest places I had ever been. It was a haunted attraction that had existed in the 1970’s and 80’s. It was called, Brigantine Castle. It was gigantic. It was five stories tall with over 80 live actors. Through the early search facilities of the web, I found a few of the original cast and got them together using a yahoo group (They still use it).
It gave me a unique opportunity to interview them and to write some great stuff about the place, with a lot of their pictures and even some sound recordings.
The editor of Haunted Attractions magazine read my web site and asked me to write one for him. It was my first professional writing. I’ve written a few more articles for Haunted Attractions Magazine since then, along with a few other industry publications.
BK: What is the craziest thing you've ever written about, whether it got published or not?

I am impressed with the amount of research
that I think went into this book. I can usually tell when an author puts
a significant amount of time into their stories with their research and
backgrounds. This one is exceptionally good. Plus, just think if you
could take a supernatural fiction book and turn it into
nonfiction. That’s how this is. A lot of this book is based on real
life, so it feels like real life, which is what made it so believable. I
really wasn’t expecting it to be that good, and believable. I usually
read fantasy for exactly that, fantasy- escape from real life. Maybe
that’s why I liked this one so much. It gave me both worlds.

Essay on PW Creighton's Web site: Paranormal Perceptions ~ Crowley and 1970's Witchcraft
Hath No
fury explores the lives of magick practitioners set in the 1970s and
later in the 1980s. In the 1970’s the word “Wiccan” had not become a
pop-culture term. The television show, “Charmed” which showed witches
in a positive light, hadn’t yet aired and reruns of Elizabeth
Montgomery’s Bewitched resembled the practice of a “witch” in name
only.
The general public knew little about the practice as an earth-based, almost hippie-like culture. When people thought of witches they either imagined the pointy-hat-wearing hag from the Wizard of Oz or even worse, something out of Rosemary’s Baby. Even the books available among practitioners of the art seemed darker. Books like Mastering Witchcraft, What Witches Do, or anything by Mr. Alistair Crowley, while mostly accurate, appeared dark and mysterious compared to the brighter, more mainstream, works of Silver Ravenwolf that would be available in years to come.
