Luna's Children Author Interview with Ray Deen
Fear the full Moon!
For countless centuries, mankind has watched as the sun goes
down knowing that Luna will rise in its place, to rain her brilliant shards of
light upon the Earth. But for the cursed and afflicted, that silvery orb brings
horror and death.
In celebration of the release of the two Luna's Children
werewolf anthologies from Dark Oak Press, I'll be interviewing some of the
collection's authors.
Today's victim ... lucky recipient is Hawaii's steampunk/pulp
writing guru, Ray Deen.
What sparked your
interest in werewolves?
What's not to
love. Dark nights, fulls moons, a howl cuts through the heart pounding
silence... yeah, it's all good. All fun
until someone gets their entrails ripped out and dirty in the glen, hmm?
What spawned the idea
for your story?
I've had an idea
for a Western Paranormal novel for a while, and this seemed like the perfect
opportunity to dig in deep and play in the sand. Had a blast and want to go
back for more.
Are you a Pantser or
Plotter?
Both... somewhat
of a hybrid. I tend to start most of my projects in Pantser mode... jumping
into the deep end and flailing about until I figure out how deep the water
is... then it's Plotter mode. How do I get back to shore.. or at least
somewhere dry? That's where the plotting comes in.
Is there a soundtrack
to this story?
I have quite a
collection of Western Soundtrack Music... cowboy songs, Native American music.
It all gets thrown into shuffle when its needed. Good stuff...
Is this a familiar
genre for you... or did you try something new?
Westerns aren't new to me, I've been writing
them for years... mostly for my own enjoyment and for friends. But this is a
combination of genres that makes me smile. I love it.
What is your next
project?
I have a number
of shorts that I'm working on and two novel length WIP that I have in my
plotter stage... filling in the blanks and making sure I have things well in
hand.
Where can readers
find you?
