Tell us a
little bit about your newest release.
My newest release
"A Hell-hound's Tale" is actually a re-released short story
once offered in an anthology. It follows a couple of devil dogs on
their journey during Halloween night.
Devil dog Ryu has
always been interested in humans. Now that he has this chance to be
off his leash for the night, he'd rather play than work on his job:
collecting souls to take back to Hell. On his way, he meets Grant, a
sexy gay man who's got a bit of a secret. Ryu's intrigued by the man
and can't help but want to get closer to him.
Oh, but you'll
have to read the book to learn the secret.
Is there any
part of this story you absolutely love, and why?
I really love how
playful the story is. By the synopsis, or my description above, you
might think it's scary but not at all! It's really just a good time,
with a little bit of aww at the end.
Ryu was a very fun
character to write. I did some research into hellhounds, and decided
to make him a little more exciting and frisky than hellhounds are
meant to be. I think it came out very well.
I love hellhound mythology - so much to explore! Do you have a
favourite genre to write in?
I've dabbled in
several different genres through my career, but my favorite has to be
M/M fantasy romance. In the past few years, I've devoured (read) tons
of fantasy books with gay romance elements and I'm always looking for
more.
If you could
have dinner with any three writers, living or dead, who would they
be?
Hmm, this might be
a difficult one.
I think if I could
have dinner with any three writers, I would choose L.A. Witt, cause
you know, she's absolutely wonderful! Then, I would choose Anne Rice,
because I have always admired her for the work she's done. And for
the third writer, I would choose... Ha! I think would choose any
writer cool with just sitting and chatting with me.
If you could
recommend any book (beside your own) to everyone reading this, what
would it be?
You
know, I recently read a very interesting autobiography by Tatamkhulu
Afrika called "Bitter Eden". It's a telling of a man who
gets captured in WWII and spends a few years in POW camps in Italy
and Germany. During that time, he deals with the emotions of being
close to a couple other men, and eventually develops a close
relationship with one of the men.
It's a lovely tale, if not a difficult
one to read, and is definitely not a romance. If books like these are
interesting to anyone, I'd say have a look!
Awesome. I love a good historical autobiography. Apart from
writing, what are your great passions in life?
I've always been a
computer nerd. After high school, I graduated with a degree in PC
Support and Repair and from there, I continue to take an interest in
other types of computer stuff: software, hardware, website
programming, etc.
Recently though, I
was introduced to the world of sewing. Oh my God! It is so fun to
play around with fabric and make things. I've made pajamas for my
kids so far, a few things for myself, and a little catnip pillow for
my kitty. It's such a good time.
What else are
you working on right now? What's up next from you?
Coming up next is
the 3rd book in the Operation Wasteland series,
"Redemption". It's the ending installment and a culmination
of Randy, Leyton, and Preston's story as they make the final attempt
to fight the military. And hope to escape back to their home in the
wasteland.
Look for it
sometime in October, available by Evernight Publishing!
