I have a very eclectic taste in everything, books, movies, music. I really like SciFi and mysteries, which are along the same vein as horror, I guess. I love Erma Bombeck's, 'If Life Is A Bowl Of Cherries, What Am I doing In The Pits?' I also love biographies! My favorite biography is 'One More Time', by Carol Burnett; I read that one to my Grandmama, so it's special. My second favorite genre behind horror has to be romance novels though, I love those, especially if there's mystery and intrigue involved!hsimone wrote:Thank you for sharing. That's actually really interesting. I can understand about your mom about being torn in reading your book. My parents, growing up, were concerned about me reading Harry Potter because there are witches in the books. I can only imagine what they would think about something like this!Janetleighgreen wrote:Believe it or not, I am a Christian and so is my family. My Mom and I were just talking about this today; she hasn't read the book yet, I think she's torn. She wants the book; but I don't think she really wants to read it. She's still proud of me though; and we were talking about my obsession with all things horror just today and she said, "I used to get so mad at you for watching those horror movies when you were little!"hsimone wrote:
Thank you for the advice!
I have another question
What do your family/friends think about the content of your book? I feel like if I wrote something like this, my parents would either bring to church or to a therapist. They are not into horror or creepiness.
My friends already know I'm twisted so they weren't surprised at all. My husband said he would be worried if I DIDN'T write horror.
Ha! ?
When you are reading, (aside from Horror) what is your favorite genre?

What a great question! Wow, that's really tough for me because it's my baby and I love all of it. I think my favorite part, and the scenes that were the most fun to write were the passageway scenes.Ashley 1820 wrote:What's your favorite part in "unspeakable acts "?
I got goosebumps when Sheila saw Martha watching Asa and Mary through the hole in the passageway. It was a defining moment for Martha and her feelings for Asa; and that was when Mary's fate was sealed.

Going back to Unspeakable Acts , which character would you say you relate to most?
Also, which did you enjoy writing the most - the past or present?

Charlie because she's most like me; she's her own person and I didn't model her after me really, but some things made their way in there, which is inevitable I think. I am really working on developing the characters more for you guys in the rewrite; Charlie has a fun personality and she's very upbeat and positive.hsimone wrote:Nice!

I enjoyed writing both past and present; the past was a little more difficult just because I didn't live then and had to research it. I think it was more fun because of that as well, so the past.
