Author Interview: Melissa A. Joy

Please tell us a little about yourself. I’m a fantasy author with Asperger syndrome. I’ve been writing since I was roughly 13 years old, and have been developing the world of Aeldynn since then.

The Spirit of Autumn

An overpowering aroma of pumpkin spice assaulted Teddie as she opened her front door. “Every year. Why is it always pumpkin bloody spice? Can it never be cider with cinnamon or something? Every year…” She set her keys on the hook by the door as her phone chimed. A groan left her as she opened […]

Shreya’s Story: Part Two

We left that same night, creeping out despite the torches surrounding our home. Why they didn’t immediately make it our funeral pyre, I’ll never know. Maybe they wanted to give us a chance to show that we were still human. That was something we were unable to do for them. Our quintet stood watching the […]

Shreya’s Story: Part One

According to The Vampire Encyclopedia by Matthew Bunson, a rakhas (or, more formally, rakshasa) is tinkling-bell-clad, blue-throated, blood-stained creature with matted hair and five feet. One of the powerful vampires of India. I can tell you from experience that this is an exaggeration.  It’s like playing that game—Chinese Whispers, is it?—where information becomes more muddled […]

Please tell us a little about yourself. I am originally from Denmark but currently live with my hubby and two kids (incl. 1 cat and a dog) in the back-of-beyond near the Sherwood Forrest, U.K.  I began my writing journey when I was called by the ‘muse-who-must-be-obeyed’ after the birth of our first child, but […]

Author Interview: Mandy White

Please tell us a little about yourself. I am a Canadian writer from Vancouver Island, British Columbia. I live on a lake and enjoy the outdoors. What do you write (genre, length)?  I write speculative fiction. Most of it falls under the horror genre, but some is just plain weird. I’m a big fan of […]

Author Interview: Jay Veloso Batista

Please tell us a little about yourself. My name is Jay Veloso Batista, and yes, the middle name is important to avoid brand confusion with the wrestler! ☺ I live in Ocean View, Delaware, on a lake house with my gardens, only a few miles from the Atlantic Ocean, and 2 hours from Washington, DC […]
