BBB: If you were to create a slogan for your life, what would it be? (Example: Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow, we all die.)

SZ: Keep moving forward. I’ve taken a lot of hits and falls over the years, been knocked down many times by difficult life events, and the important thing is to keep getting up and moving forward. It is an incredibly hard thing to do sometimes, but it is the only way you are going to become the person you want to become and honor those who believe in you and love you.

BBB: If you could eliminate one thing from your daily schedule, what would it be and why?

BBB: What is the strangest thing you ever did to research something for a story?

JCS: Well, I don’t know that it’s strange, but probably the one thing I’ve done for research is hit every sex toy website I could find to see what kinds of goodies I could find that my characters could experiment with. I’ve even been known to order an item or two, all in the name of research of course.

That Which Goes Bump in the Night: Our Paranormal Peculiarities

The paranormal and steampunk go together like tea and scones, cogs and gears, mad scientists and giant robots. At least that is what we discovered as we began to build the world of the Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences.

So here’s a confession. I’ve never seen a ghost.

Molly Harper, believer in all things paranormal, has never seen a whisper of an apparition. I’ve seen things that I thought were apparitions that turned out to be shifting curtains or tricks of light. I have had dizzy, cold, uncomfortable feelings in old buildings. Hell, I avoid antique stores because I think I’m too sensitive to whatever emotional residue people leave behind on their belongings. Read More »

Writing one book can be a challenge keeping up with the plot much less the height and hair color or your hero. Add a series to this mayhem and you have literary chaos. I’ve had heroines whose eye color changed with the turn of the page, steps that simply went missing and rooms that moved more than Hogwarts’ staircases. As any good writer (or writing team) would do, I’ve come up with a few tips.

Natural History Museum

This, for me, is where it all started. I probably wouldn’t have written my Enemy series of zombie books if I’d never visited the place. When I was a kid I loved coming to London for visits, and I have very vivid memories of going to the Natural History Museum. My father tells the story that he took me on an outing to the museum when I was very young and lost me. After a couple of very anxious Read More »

Pom-poms for Vampires

Vampires are not meant to be taken seriously.

Okay, now my inbox is filling up with missives from outraged alpha bloodsuckers ready to cancel my subscription to Fangs Weekly and bar me from the I Heart Bram Stoker clubhouse. But really, my dearly undead, the leather jacket and furrowed brow can only take a plot arc so far. Paranormal tales need Read More »
