Interview with Poet-Author Brandy Cross

WINTER IN ME

by Brandy Cross

There’s nothing soft about the leaves that fall

And winters chill it takes them all                                             Brandy Cross

Another night all alone

I guess that’s why it’s broken

And I could almost feel

The softness of your skin

And wonder what it would be like

To hold you close and then.

The frost that sets in

As the day turns into night

Wake up in the morning

And nothing makes it right

Because it’s become a part of you

Nothing left that you can do

And I could almost feel

The softness of your skin

And wonder what it would be like

To hold you close and then

This house is not my home

It merely holds me in

And love it’s not that close to me

Too far away to ever be

Sit and watch  the leaves that fell a long time ago

Autumn  rain has turned  into the cold of winter snow

A little shiver at the sight of ice on the tree

I’ll cover up, and  try to hide,  the winter in me

Welcome to Vision and Verse, Brandy.  What have you written?

I actually write for a living as a copywriter, it's the best job ever but I've written for way too many websites to count. So far I'm about three quarters of the way through a sci-fi novel that I'm putting on hold for NaNoWriMo and about to start a little Fantasy/Horror book that I promised my sister I would write for her.

What is your favorite genre to write?

 Definitely Sci-Fi.

Favorite food?

Tough… I'm going to go with strawberries.

Where would you like to visit?

 Egypt, I've always been fascinated with it.

Favorite musical artist?  Do you listen to music when you write?  What?

My favorite artist is Guns n Roses (a bit old school I know) but yes I listen to music when I write, and the what depends on the mood. I've got everything from Wagner to Cradle of Filth, but  mostly I do tend to stick right around the classic rock area. Music is a great way to relax no matter what you're doing really.

What makes you laugh?

 Humor… what was I supposed to say?  I'm pretty easy, I laugh at almost everything, even when it's not funny.

How old were you when you started writing?

I wrote a crappy one page story about a unicorn when I was 7 (in color pencil), my parents flipped out like it was the best thing ever and I've been hooked ever since.

Where do you get your inspiration?

Actually it really depends. The alien book that i wrote and am editing now I sort of got bits and pieces of that from a nightmare about being attacked by a giant flying squid and the one I'm writing for November, my sister asked me what was the most horrible awful psychological thing I could come up with, and that was that. Inspiration comes in all shapes and sizes, I once wrote a poem/song based on sitting in a swing watching leaves fall.

What do you do when you get a writer's block?

I drink tea (of course I do that anyway), write something else, stare at the screen in abject despair, or do kickboxing. (my handwriting is too awful to make long term writing in notebooks feasible, although my first two novels were written that way and remain that way).

Who is your favorite author?

I'm a book junkie, there is no one best author. But I'll give it a shot. Tanya Huff-Orson Scott Card-Jim Butcher-Mercedes Lackey-Stephen King-Dean Koontz-Terry Goodkind….okay I should stop now.

Best book you ever read.

 While I could not honestly say there has been 'one best book' but I guess I could say that one of the first 'adult' books I read (I was 9) was Madeleine L'engal's 'A Wrinkle in Time' and it was what made me want to write.

Who is the one person who has influenced your personal life the most and why?

I would have to say myself. That may sound stuck up or egotistical or something but I know there have been a lot of people who had a huge impact on my life but I think that at the end of the day I made some really major decisions and ended up going my own way. Sometimes it's the only way to go to be happy.

If you could sit down and have a conversation with ONE person, living or dead, real or fictional, who would it be and why?

That would probably be Tanya Huff, although there are I'm sure there are more worthy persons out there, she just strikes me as someone who's really decent, down to earth, and probably a blast to talk to.

What advice would you give someone who aspired to be a writer?

Press pages. Create a press page with your plot before you even think about writing a book because it will help you in the middle of the book when you've sailed past your inspiration and into the muddling realm of not knowing what to write next. I guess I would have to say that there is no one right way to write a book (say that out loud five times really fast) but that you shouldn't be afraid to edit your book like your former 12th grade English teacher is about to go over it in front of your entire High School class. There can actually be a big gap between how good something is when you first write it, and how it reads to you a month or two down the road. Also, remember to have fun, it's just a book.

Thank you for being with us this morning, Brandy.  Good luck in all your writing endeavors.

Life would be better if we wore more tutus.

An Interview with Author Ryan Attard

Ryan Attard 

Malta, a tiny island in an ocean far, far away

Welcome to Vision and Verse this morning, Ryan.  What have you written? 

Firstborn, Book 1 of the Legacy Series. Big Wolf on Campus and Dread Night are two short stories/ novellas that are also part of the same series but are more side stories. 

What is your favorite genre to write? 
Urban fantasy. I love taking tried and tested mythology and Dungeons and Dragons elements and putting them in today’s society of smartphones, fast cars and sassy attitudes.  I also love action and comedy. Having grown up on Power Rangers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles there is no way I can avoid a swordfight scene. I also cannot resist telling jokes, and making fun of the main character. I guess you can blame the 10 or more sitcoms I watch per year.

Favorite food. 
Anything that is not too greasy or too heavy. I have the stomach capacity of a sparrow. I’m quite picky with my food, but I’m also heavily addicted to chocolate. 

Where would you like to visit? 
I have the Legacy Series set in Eureka (because I love Greek puns) California. Lots of the second book (coming out soon) takes place in Trinity Forest, which I understand is a great hiking place. I’ve never been to the United States and I want to rectify that ASAP. Maybe I could go further and say I really (really, really) want to have a panel at a comic con, just because that even would be a slice of heaven for a guy like me.

Favorite musical artist.  Do you listen to music when you write?  What? 
I listen to a lot of ‘underground’ music – artists who have made it on their own or who develop their own style. The most inspiring musician I know of is Klayton aka Celldweller. Guy started with nothing and suffered for it, but now he’s a successful musician. That mirrors what I went through when I decided to write full time. 

As for what I listen to when I write – I don’t. Creation needs peace and quiet with only the voices in my head to speak. However, when I need to pump myself up I plug in Celldweller, Blue Stahli, Krewella, SiN.Tex and anything which tickles my fancy. Sometimes it’s a soundtrack from Two Steps from Hell and sometimes it’s some sexy latin R’n’B, other times it’s EDM pumps. 

What makes you laugh? 
Anything serious. People get so hung up on little annoying things that they fail to see the big picture, which is always cause for laughter. Once you lower those social barriers anything becomes funny (and inappropriate). 

How old were you when you started writing?
I started doodling fanfics when I was 16, because I wanted to impress my social circle of otakus and general geeks. But I got serious about it when I was 19. That’s when I came up with Legacy.

Where do you get your inspiration? Books, movies, manga, comics, cartoons, anime, music, parodies, stand-up comics – pretty much anything. I haven’t found my off switch yet so even when I’m not writing, I’m absorbing potential ideas.

What do you do when you get a writer's block? 
I look at my empty bank account. I don’t believe in inspiration but desperation. In the words of Jim Butcher: “I don’t get writer’s block – I have a mortgage.”

Who is your favorite author? 
Jim Butcher would take that vote but there are at least another 20 who are close seconds.

Best book you ever read.
Anything which I am reading currently. I’m extremely picky; if I keep it for more than two days, it’s good. And so far I have read a lot of very good books. 

Who is the one person who has influenced your personal life the most and why? 
I have two friends with whom without I would be one terribly lost soul. The first helped me start writing and guided me when I had no idea what to do. The other is an artist who like me found it difficult to take the leap and go full time. You have to understand that in our country no one is a full time artist and making money out of your talent is both frowned upon and discouraged. Together we decided to take the leap and haven’t looked back since.

If you could sit down and have a conversation with ONE person, living or dead, real or fictional, who would it be and why? 
Myself. Not because I’m vain but because that way I’d get my ideas sorted out quicker and no one would accuse me of being insane. I would be quite literally talking to myself. 

If that is too weird, I’d love to chat with any author or musician or comic I like. There are a few which have inspired me more than others and I would love a minute to examine their heads. If anything I’d simply love to thank them for their awesome work.

What advice would you give someone who aspired to be a writer? 
Just do it. You’ll get shot down, you’ll get rejected and you’ll feel heart broken. A lot of times you’ll feel like you’re putting in countless hours of work for nothing.  But if you keep going you will get past that and when you hold a finished manuscript in your hands, it’s the biggest sense of accomplishment and high you can imagine. That is something that thousands have strived for and tried but very few succeed. That feeling, that joy and serenity is worth all the hardships. Anything worth having is worth fighting for. 

A little more about Ryan Attard.

As an avid reader of fantasy and fiction books, Ryan got tired of waiting for his favorite authors to publish their next novels and decided to simply entertain himself instead. He then spent the next three years learning, in excruciating detail, why it takes authors such a long time to write a book that they can live with.

Ryan lives on a tiny island, sometimes not even shown on maps, where his only friends are animated drawings and disembodied voices. And since everything in the outside world is boring to him, he took a journey inwards with some of his own made up characters.

Enter The Legacy Series, a story about a cursed wizard with a huge magical handicap, a talking demonic cat and an evil twin sister as they save the world from evil in its various forms. The name Firstborn has a quintuple meaning: Erik is a firstborn son, the main villain is considered a firstborn in biblical terms, the book is the first of the series and it is also Ryan’s first ever book. There is also another meaning, but he cannot reveal it without divulging a secret which would unravel the end of the series.

According to his colleagues, manager, and whip-bearer, Ryan is horribly addicted to what he does. He writes and writes and writes; sometimes forgetting to do those silly things like eat or sleep. Sometimes he looks up and wonders where last night’s starry skies have gone and why are there so many people walking on the street. Sometimes he deludes himself into taking a break, by going to a movie or listening to an album – but when he does, he is watching and listening, absorbing ideas and inspirations. Sometimes he even watches you, waiting in the shadows, in darkest recesses of your mind.

Ryan would like to declare that he should not be taken seriously. He is one of those annoying and slightly insane people who have conversations with wisps of air and write their Author’s Note in the third person.

Interview with Author Eva Bielby

Eva Bielby

Helmsley, North Yorkshire, United Kingdom

 Good morning, Eva.  Welcome to the US.  It's 

a pleasure to have you here with us this morning.

Tell us, Eva, what have you written?

I am near completion of my debut, erotic novel, “Going up and Going down”

I have an unfinished project called “Trying to Understand”, I’ve reached 50000 words on this but I have put it on hold for now, whilst I am finishing my current one. 

What is your favorite genre to write?

I think I can safely say that erotica is now my favourite genre to write.  I have a sequel to “Going up and Going down” in the pipeline and it will be called “Comings and Goings.”

Favorite food?

My favourite food is sweet and sour chicken with rice, and preferably a few French fries with it.  My favourite dessert is tiramisu, but I like all deserts if they are unhealthy!

Where is your next travel destination?

I have done quite a bit of travelling, but I never return anywhere. I aim on seeing as much of the world as I possibly can.  High on my list of countries to visit are Chile, China, Russia, Hong King and Australia and New Zealand.

Favorite musical artist?

My favourite musical artist is Mike Oldfield and I listen mainly to his music while I write and the album I prefer is Tubular Bells III.

What makes you laugh?

Many things make me laugh, but I don’t like today’s alternative comedy much.  I think the person who makes me laugh the most is English comedian Peter Kay.  I also laugh at my 3 grandchildren and the things they come out with.

When did you start writing?

I was 7 years old when I first started writing, but it was mainly poetry

Where do you get your inspiration?

I get most of my inspiration for writing from life and my observations.

What do you do when you get the dreaded writer's block?

If I get writer’s block, I always find the best thing to do is go to bed and try to sleep.  I can almost guarantee that is when the ideas start flowing through, and then I have to get up again and write everything down.

Favorite author?

My favourite author today is Brett Battles.  I have read every one of his books and his Jonathan Quinn ‘Cleaner’ series and the ‘Project Eden’ series are some of the best books I have ever read.  He has a special talent for characterisation that I so admire.  I have fallen in love with all the characters in his novels.

Favorite book?

The best ever books I have read have to be J.K. Rowling’s ‘Harry Potter’ series with the Deathly Hallows being my favourite book of all time.

Who is the one person in your personal life who has influenced you the most and why?

The one person who has influenced my personal life the most is my mother.  I like to feel that my loving family upbringing has made me the person I am today, well-mannered, warm and caring!

If you could sit down and have a conversation with one person, living or dead, real or fictitious, who would it be and why?

The one person I would love to have been able to sit and have a conversation with is Diana, Princess of Wales.  She changed the British Monarchy forever, so many people looked up to her and I would have asked her what did she hope that life held in store in store for Princes William and Harry.

What advice do you have for aspiring writers?

My advice to anyone who aspired to be a writer is, if you want to write, just do it. I am loving the experience and sincerely wish I had started writing many years ago. No excuses, sit down and start writing, and keep writing, don’t let any criticism stand in your way, learn from it and carry on!


Thank you, Eva, you are delightful.  We at Vision and Verse wish you much success in all your endeavors.  Come back and see us when you're sequel to ready for release.

Seven Months Old

Dear Happy Readers,

Just a little note to tell you seven months ago on April 15, Texas artist Parker Kauffman and Ohio author Carol Kauffman (me)  started a little blog called Vision and Verse about Art and writing, making art and finding inspiration.  I can't believe it's been only seven months. Thank you for the almost 10,000 page views.

Hugs,

Carol

Interview with author F.J.R. Titchenell

F.J.R. Titchenell

 (The F is for Fiona.)

San Gabriel, CA.

Welcome to Vision and Verse, the Place for Art and Authors this morning, Fiona.  Tell us a little about yourself.  What have you written?
My debut novel is Confessions of the Very First Zombie Slayer (That I Know of), which will be released May 6th, 2014. It’s a Young Adult Horror-Comedy about a group of teenagers taking a road trip through zombie infested America to rescue a stranded friend, working out their problems with each other and learning to stay sane together.

I’m also co-writing a Young Adult Horror/Sci-fi series, The Prospero Chronicles, with my husband, Matt Carter. The first book, Splinters, will be out fall of 2014. It’s about an invasion by shape-shifting, human-impersonating aliens in a California small town, and about Mina Todd and Ben Pastor, a teenage girl who’s been fighting the aliens all her life and a boy she recruits from the outside to help her. At the heart of it, it’s about the two of them trying to find a way to build trust and friendship so they can fight back together, even while surrounded by aliens who look like people they know.
I have a few short stories out in anthologies as well, all listed on my website under the Books tab.


What is your favorite genre to write?
I’m a speculative YA type. I love writing for and about teenagers, because fiction is all about exploring different parts of human feeling, and feelings are so intense and concentrated during the teen years, partly because that’s when we feel a lot of things for the first time.

I love Horror, again for its intensity and the freedom it offers to explore the darkest, most mysterious corners of the psyche. And I’m a writer because I’m really a big kid playing imagination games, so as long as I’m free to take it to some messed up places now and then, I also love to play with Sci-Fi and a little Fantasy.

Favorite food.
Chocolate is the one I can’t live without, but sharp cheddar and pineapple both spring readily to mind. Not all together, though.


Where would you like to visit?
London. So many landmarks related to my favorite books and authors all in one place!


Favorite musical artist. Do you listen to music when you write?  What?
I do, and I have pretty eclectic tastes, everything from pop to metal to Broadway and opera. What I listen to while I write depends a lot on what I’m writing, but my favorite band, both overall and for writing, is Rise Against. So many of their songs feel like a montage of tiny glimpses of an epic waiting to be written. While writing The Prospero Chronicles, I also listen to a lot of P!nk and Kelly Clarkson because they fit Mina so well. Particularly “Please Don’t Leave Me” and “Behind These Hazel Eyes.” I play those on repeat for her a lot, and when I’m thinking about the final book, it’s all about Imagine Dragons’ “Radioactive.”

What makes you laugh?
Too many things. I like high brow and low brow, intentional and unintentional comedy. I was raised on British comedy, so that’s definitely a strong influence on my sensibilities, but the entirety of my sense of humor is a bizarre, unquantifiable jumble that probably only makes sense to my similarly odd husband and me. We do our best to use our shared jumble to amuse as many other people as possible.


How old were you when you started writing?
As soon as it could be called writing. Childhood imagination flowed right into storytelling for me. Some of my earliest memories are of a reading circle my parents used to take me to. I was about three when I started making up stories to tell instead of just reading them, and I started learning to type them up when I was about six or seven.

I’ve written compulsively my whole life, disjointed scenes, short stories, poetry, a couple of unreadable short novels. For most of that time, I was also studying theater and dabbling in music. I knew I would be a storyteller of one kind or another. I was about seventeen or eighteen when I finally knew that writing fiction would be my one lifelong career pursuit, right around the time when my work was just starting to verge on shareable quality. Writing takes a lot of practice!


Where do you get your inspiration?
Everywhere. Everything I do, see, read, hear, and feel goes into a mental vault for later use.

Coming up with that first beginning of an idea and its basic framework is one of the harder parts for me. Usually, new story ideas coalesce from the vault at random when I’m not trying, or come out of conversations about various storytelling tropes with my husband. When I’m stuck for an idea, I often pick a type of story I’ve always wanted to try, say, a cop drama or a psychological whodunit, and then mix it with some different window dressing from the norm and the YA dark speculative style I love, to make it into something unexpected.

Then comes the part where I feel really inspired, when I really get to crack into the vault and apply those thoughts and feelings to the basic outlines of the characters and scenes I’ve figured out I’m going to need, and bring them to life in the details.


What do you do when you get a writer's block?
I make a cup of coffee and listen to one or two songs that inspire me while drinking it, not doing anything else or actively thinking about writing. If that doesn’t clear it up, I give up for the day and work on something else, like my blog. If the block is seriously bothering me, I get drunk and play Guitar Hero. That’s about as close as I can get to completely unplugging and rebooting the writing part of my brain.

If the block lasts multiple days, it’s time to rethink the piece I’m working on entirely. A multi-day block usually means there’s something wrong with the next part of my outline, or possibly with the concept itself if it’s in the early stages of development. I try to pinpoint what it is that I don’t like about what I’m supposed to write next and start brainstorming completely different ways to progress the story to the next point I like about it.


Who is your favorite author?
J.K. Rowling. She created my childhood and the core of my passion for fiction.


Best book you ever read.
I count the Harry Potter series as a single story, so I could never pick one book over the others. All together, they’re my favorite, but if I had to pick a standalone, Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion comes to mind.


Who is the one person who has influenced your personal life the most and why?
My husband is the one who introduced me to Horror and who expanded my sense of humor beyond the British Isles. Brainstorming, cowriting, and co-critiquing with him have made me the author I am. Not to mention all his support in the many, many moments of self doubt.


If you could sit down and have a conversation with ONE person, living or dead, real or fictional, who would it be and why?
Mary Shelley. The woman who invented modern dark Sci-Fi in 1818 when she was twenty years old. How could she not be awesome to talk shop with?

What advice would you give someone who aspired to be a writer?
Do your homework. Read constantly, in your genre and out of your genre, and read about writing, publishing and marketing. Write, even when you’re not sure what to write about. Write about anything, and practice spotting your own problems, taking notes from critique partners, and revising. Every bit of practice is valuable, whether it produces a publishable product or not.

Naturally, be sure to follow the guidelines when submitting to agents and publishers, and if you’re serious about this, don’t ever give up. It’s a long, difficult process. Good luck!

"Confessions of the Very First Zombie

Slayer (That I Know Of)"

Confessions of the Very First Zombie Slayer (That I Know of) blurb:

The world is Cassie Fremont’s playground. Her face is on the cover of every newspaper, she has no homework, no curfew, and no credit limit, and she spends her days traveling the country with her friends, including a boy who would flirt with death just to turn her head. Life is just about perfect—except that those newspaper headlines are about her bludgeoning her crush to death with a paintball gun, she has to fight ravenous walking corpses every time she steps outside, and one of her friends is still missing, trapped somewhere in the distant, practically impassable wreckage of Manhattan. Still, Cassie’s an optimist. More prone to hysterical laughter than hysterical tears, she’d rather fight a corpse than be one, and she won’t leave a friend stranded when she can simply take her road trip to impossible new places to find her, even if getting there means admitting to that boy that she might just love him, too. Skillfully blending effective horror with unexpected humor, this diary-format novel is a fast-paced and heartwarming read.

F.J.R. Titchenell bio:

It is the story of Princess Aleese, who is expected to marry the son of her guardian, but instead sets out to find the man of her dreams, this soulmate, this one true love of yours, and ends up in farm country.

It is the story of a sister and brother whose home world is embroiled in a catastrophic civil war, and are sent away for their own safety and protection.

It’s the story of time travel and mobile transport devices.  It’s about the legal system in Chicago, a rock planet, and blue magic.

It is, in typical Time After Time fashion, the story of love.
