Interview
Q&A answered by MANSON
What is the hardest part
of writing your books?
Self-doubt. Trying to overcome that
nagging inner critic. Nothing ever seems good enough for it, and just when I
think I do have something good enough
to appease the little beast, it wants me to kill the darling.
What songs are most
played on your Ipod?
Since I’m pretty eclectic in my taste
of music I’ll list bands instead of songs. I’m a country girl turned city girl.
So anything country (especially Johnny Cash). But I’ve been a city girl for a
spell, got into the 80’s punk scene, so I’m also an old school, head banging,
punker chick and love anything punk and heavy metal. Especially Sex Pistols, The
Ramones, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Clash, Blondie, Talking Heads, Slayer,
Metallica, Slipknot. I like oldies like The Animals and Johnny Ace and Pink
Floyd. Also like Hip Hop and Gangsta, like Brotha Lynch, Wu-Tang, Cypress Hill,
and Eazy-E.
Do you have critique
partners or beta readers?
Oh sugar I have a hard enough time
fighting the little monster critic in me and trusting in myself than to put
faith in beta readers. Though I suppose the fine folk at No Sell Out
Productions could be considered my critique partners when I work with them on
my manuscripts. Their editors have been top notch to work with.
What book are you
reading now?
The Book of Job.
How did you start your
writing career?
With a lot of prayer. As much as I’m
filled with self-doubt, I’m also a gal of great faith and belief that helps get
me through the doubt, like a doubting Thomas. But I suppose it all started as a
reader. I love reading horror, crime, and dark fantasy, and researching the
occult. It presented me with what I felt were really great insights, ideas, and
possibilities, that I began writing down and expanding on into stories and then
of course full novels.
Tell us about your next
release.
My next release will be the second
book in The Hell Bound Kids series, tentatively titled “Beneath The Nightmare
City” which picks up immediately where the first book leaves off. And I’m
currently hard at work on the third book in the series.
