Larry Rodness - Crystal Vision - The Back Story

 


Horor Paranormal author Larry Rodness's Crystal Vision

The Back Story

I just finished reading Crystal Vision by Larry Rodness, Excellent read, by the way. I'm always intrigued by the some of the little stories that the authors in my network haver about their booksI was talking to Larry and here’s the story he told me .... When my boys were teens I took them to a shop downtown called “Games Workshop” – a franchise popular all over the world. We purchased miniature fantasy figures – warriors, demons and such and spent hours painting them and finishing them off. Some of the older customers built entire armies and waged wars against each other on giant game boards. My writing muse took over and considered what if the owner of the shop might be embroiled in a battle of her own and that the store enthusiasts might be dragged into it. Who was she, really?  Who was her nemesis and why? And what if not only her life was endangered but the whole city and what if…

Cool creation story by a true, full-time author. So, when you’re reading Crystal Vision, and you enter the Gaming Store, imagine there in the back of the room, in the shadows sits author Larry Rodness watching his sons play on the tables, as the demon emerges and his minions disperse. Yeah, I love a good back story.

The Live Radio interview of Jeff Bailey on Gunner Detroit Radio

 





Good morning, all. The Our Thing Detroit radio interview went off flawlessly. I tried to let as many network members know about the interview as possible before the show. I just didn’t have a lot of time. I am posting a link to the FaceBook version below. Gunner Lindbloom and his staff sure made it easy for me. I also appreciate all the follow-up communications that I received after the show. It was fun, seemed to go by in just a couple of minutes, and seemed to be remarkable wide-reaching.

Here's the link to the recording of the live show. I'm not the first guest, so you will have to fast forward about ninety minutes to find my segment:


Here’s a link to Gunner Lindbloom:


He has quite a colorful public persona, but I found him to be absolutely delightful. One of the aspects of being an author that I most enjoy is meeting new and interesting people, finding undiscovered (by me, at least) authors and reading some top-quality, imaginative books. Gunner helps that process. I enjoy hearing his guests tell their back stories. Thanks Gunner.

And, of course, here are the links to the books that started the whole process:





Tune in. Enjoy the show. Contact me and let me know what you think of the interview, good, bad, humorous. 


Welcome to my world.

Tim Schuelers - 22 Dutch Road - The Back Story

 


Tim Schueler's Horror Novel - 22 Dutch Road - The Back Story

I was intrigued by 22 Dutch Road when I read it. Elements of the story line were surprising to me and that is not an easy reaction I asked Tim about the characters Stan and Peebles and here's what he said, 'The general idea of an estranged son returning to his father's estate and encountering mysterious statues was something which stayed on course, more or less, through the end of the writing. I didn't realize, however, how important some of the supporting characters, like Stan the neighbor and his dog, Peebles, would be, since I "discovered" them while writing. It turns out that these two are often my readers' favorite characters, more so than the protagonist, Billy.'

As an author, I understand how sometimes a character can seem to take over and drive the story line. When you read 22 Dutch Road, pay special tribute Wilson and Peebles   And... that's The Back Story.
