None other like this

Self Publish or die blog rocks

This I can’t deny!

Tell us a little about Reign of Blood.

A post apocalyptic adventure, April and her family live in the mountains surrounding Las Vegas, where a vampire viral epidemic has turned everyone into mindless zombie like creatures. As she and her family forage for supplies and food one day, her mother and brother disappear. April also discovers the presence of others, who are not what she thought they would be. Can she trust them to help her as her world falls apart?

What’s your favorite thing about the writing process?

Coming up with the idea and finishing writing it. Those are the best parts.

Three facts about you?

I have a twin brother that looks nothing like me.

I don’t have any tatoos.

I can see & hear spirits, sometimes. It’s fun when they shake my bed  at night…

Do you believe in UFOs?

Yes, only because the universe is so vast, there is no way we are all alone.

What was your favorite cartoon growing up?

Jem and the Holograms. Yeah, she rocked.

Would you rather have fame or fortune?

Fortune. If fame comes with it, so be it.

Pick one book that is your all time favorite?

Gone with the Wind. LOVE Scarlet, she’s awesome.

Embarrassing guilty pleasure?

Ummm….hoarding books, ebook and hardback/paperbacks alike.

Are you an introvert or an extrovert?

I am an introvert. I seethe quietly..

Favorites:

Muppet – Miss Piggy
Color- Yellow
Type of Monster- The BEAST

Do you speed when you drive?

Yes, I was trained on a race car simulator, it’s inevitable.

Your thoughts on Self Publishing.

It rocks. Awesome to be in control and say how I want things to be. It sucks in that I have to do everything, like promos, absorb the costs for editing/bookcovers/paperbacks etc.

Your thoughts on Zombies.

<3 zombies! As long as they are not the love interests. Zombies are hungry, brain eating, dead people, not lovers.

Are you a tweeter, a re-tweeter, or you couldn’t care less about Twitter?

I am a “maybe I should tweet some today” kind of person. Not my usual haunt.

Would you rather sit on a porch with sweet tea {insert other beverage if tea isn’t your thing} or go hiking with a bottle of water and a smile?

Sit on the porch and read with a coke in hand and snacks….

Your favorite type of music

All kinds except straight on country and hard core rap.

Your favorite color of Skittle

Orange

Your favorite memory

Visiting the library in Reno as a kid with my Dad.

Your favorite quote

‘You don’t have to be great to get started, but you have to get started to be great.’

Anything you would like to say to the aspiring authors reading this blog?

Don’t give up. It is a career that spans years and constant vigil. It is just the beginning. If you think it’s hard now, just wait. Or choose a different career.
