When the zombies arrive will you be ready or will you join the ranks of the undead? Welcome to the next stop on the Zombie Apocalypse Preparation Blog Tour.

We have David Houchins & Scot Thomas with us today. If you want to survive the Zombie Apocalypse, I suggest you pay attention.

Reena Jacobs: You mention a million and one writers in your foreword. If you had to survive the Zombie Apocalypse on a deserted island and could only bring the works of one author, who would it be?

David Houchins/Scot Thomas: Well, since we only mentioned a pair of writers, of the two mentioned, I’d take King. Reading the same two books would get boring. Chuck Palahniuk would be another choice, but his work’s not for everyone. Tom Robbins also stands as a contender. How did we end up on this island? I mean, if you’re planning a vacation you should be able to bring what you want, and if you’re stranded somewhere, it doesn’t seem likely that you’re just going to happen to have an author’s entire body of work along with you. That being said, if I were to plan something like this and had the long term knowledge, I’d kidnap all three and make my own human-author-centipede to create the ultimate storytelling machine. I’d be its agent and we’d conquer the island, and then, the world.

RJ: Here’s crossing our fingers there’ll be something worth conquering after the zombie apocalypse. I’m told you grew up as poor black kids on another planet before reincarnating as white redneck children on earth. What was your happiest memory before Fuckyermomma’s big explosion?

DH/ST: Setting the charges. Trust me, the place deserved it.

RJ: Okay… now you’ve got me wondering if Earth will be next. What’s surprised you most about humans and the human culture?

DH/ST: Mostly the fact that they haven’t become aware that they’re subjected to the mind-numbing torture that is reality television. An intelligent populace would realize that it’s intellect-killing garbage and violently retaliate against those that try to force them to view its awful jackassery on a daily basis.

RJ: Okay… let’s just move on and pretend I didn’t spend hours and hours watching television yesterday. How much of you/your life do you put into your stories?

DH/ST: I don’t think it’s possible to leave yourself out of a written work. What you like, dislike, want, fear or whatever, it’s going to spill out in some way shape or form. Being that this was more of an instructional piece laid out in our combined unique style, it was so loaded with our brand of wit that it should be handled only with latex gloves.

RJ: Give us a brief description of a story you have hidden in your crypt of rotting corpses? And will it ever see the light of day?

DH/ST: There’s a guy who does a thing in a place which leads to stuff. Also, boobies.

RJ: Tee hee… he said boobies. Do you have any advice for other writers?

DH/ST: Write, share your work with those that won’t heap undue praise on you for mediocre work. I was hesitant at first to show what we’d done to my wife thinking that she’d have nothing but good things to say. After the first hour, she sent me back the file (she was reading it at work, it was a slow day) and it had so much figurative red ink on it that I thought I was back in school. She pointed out that some things didn’t make sense, out of place words, misspellings, and unnecessary hate speech. She was our first line of editing after that and she helped immensely.

Having someone like that is invaluable. If you lack that kind of creative feedback, well, keep writing, if you can re-read what you’ve put down and surprise and amuse yourself, it’s probably not all shit.

RJ: Anything special you’d like to say to readers? What about to the undead?

DH/ST: We’re nearing 70,000 fans now, we’ve gained gained around 50,000 since we started the first book, and they keep coming in and being supportive on a daily basis. We wouldn’t be doing this without them. Those who have read the book, by all means, keep it handy. It may prove useful someday, possibly as toilet paper, but that’s still a use. Also, keep a look out for updates on our future work and keep reading the page. As far as the undead, well, invest in a helmet. It won’t save you, but it’ll make us swing twice.

“We guarantee this is the only tool you need to survive the zombie.

OK, that’s not really true. But when the SHTF you’re going to want a survival guide that’s not just geared toward day-to-day survival. You’ll need one that addresses the essential skills for true nourishment of the human spirit. Living through the end of the world isn’t worth a damn unless you can enjoy yourself in any way you want. (Except, of course, for anything having to do with abuse. We could never condone such things. At least the publisher’s lawyers say we can’t”

Zombie Apocalypse Preparation: How to Survive in an Undead World and Have Fun Doing It! is the first zombie apocalypse survival manual with entertainment in mind. What fun is living in a world of the undead if you can’t have a bit of fun? The apocalypse is not just about survival it’s about enjoying your new found life.

Inside the covers of this book you will not only find the way to pick the right weapon, building, and survival methods but you’ll find entertaining ways to dispose of the undead, entertain yourself and your group, and dispatch your former friends and family members with a smile on your face and a song in your heart.

Serpent Passage Blog Tour

May 102012

Welcome to the next stop on the Serpent Passage Blog Tour. Today, Todd Allen Pitts, author of Serpent Passage, is here to share a bit about himself and his book. Please welcome him!

Reena Jacobs: Congratulations on your debut release, The Serpents Passage. I visited your website and see it’s the start of a series. Please share with us a little about it.

Todd Allen Pitts: The Serpent Passage is about a teenager, William, who (on the day of the Summer Solstice) feels compelled to rescue a woman with his scuba gear from drowning in a cenote (lake) in the Yucatan. He subsequently gets pulled into an underground cavern where he finds her. They make their way out through a strange underwater passage of flashing lights that propels them back into the times of the ancient Maya. Of course they don’t realize they’re back in time at first, but when they come across a pyramids in pristine condition and get in the way of a planned sacrifice, they begin to realize what happened and they become intertwined in the conflicts between Mayan kingdoms. William is awarded a magical gem, called the bloodstone, that puts him in the path of Mayan gods and demons. William hopes to find a way back home, but he falls in love with a Mayan princess, and begins to realize he may have a more important reason for being there. A Serpent Priest says that he knew of his coming and had been waiting for his arrival. That is the basic setting that takes you on a wild ride in the times of the ancient Maya.

RJ: There’s been a lot of talk about the Mayan calendar and the year 2012. How does the Serpents Passage series relate to it?

TAP: Many believe that either a cataclysmic or consciousness-changing event will occur at the time when the Mayan Calendar ends in 2012. Without giving too much of the overall series plot away… The main character, William, is pulled back in time to around 1000 A.D., around the Post Classic time period when the Mayan kingdoms of the southern regions were abandoned and were migrating north to Chichen Itza. William discovers that he has a task to complete in the past, ultimately related to saving the bloodstone (a gem that has a connection to the Mayan gods), and the construction of the Castle of Kukulcan (that serves a cosmic purpose to save the legacy of the Maya, while also assisting mankind in this transformative period at the end of the Great Cycle in 2012).

RJ: I imagine writing about a period a thousand years ago took a lot of research. Will you tell us a little about what your research entailed?

TAP: I started scuba diving when I was 12, and it has always been a passion of mine. On a diving trip to Cancun in 1998, I decided to take a sabbatical from my career in technical writing to get my PADI Scuba Instructor license, which takes about three to six months on a fast program. I ended up staying there for two years to work as a dive instructor and dive master. While living there, I became fascinated with Mayan culture and began exploring ruins. Besides for the popular ruins of places like Chichen Itza and Tulum, I was intrigued by the more remote ruins, like Dzibanche and Kohunlich, and I began wondering what it must be like to live in those times. I read many books to learn as much as I could about their culture and beliefs, their gods and demons, and about the Mayan Calendar.

One day, while having lunch at a famous cenote in Bacalar, called the Cenote Azul, I had an inspiration for the start of my novel, and I began writing it later that night. I wrote the first draft in about 6 months. It went through years of rewrites and changes after comments from literary agent input. Along the way, the explosion of data on the internet aided my continued research.

I have to remind people that although I know a lot about the culture, beliefs, and history of many of the Mayan kingdoms, the purpose for that knowledge was to weave colorful detail into my fictional story, so the readers could learn about an amazing culture while being entertained with adventure, romance, and mysticism through interesting characters and situations.

RJ: I love the idea of taking history and making it one’s own. You have a background in technical writing. What led you to step into the world of fiction writing?

TAP: I always enjoyed fictional writing since I was a child, and writing a novel had been a lifelong dream of mine. Out of college I got into technical writing because it was a way to immediately make good money doing something I enjoy (writing). I think my creative side helped me to also be a better technical writer, because I would think outside the box. But after many years, I felt a ‘calling’ to go after my deeper dreams and pursue the type of writing that I knew would give me the most satisfaction in my life. I love becoming immersed in my writing projects, as I ‘see’ events unfold like a movie in my head, and don’t always know what will happen next until I get there. I love that part of the creative process.

RJ: How has your technical writing experience helped you on the fictional side?

TAP: Being a technical writer helped me to be a better fiction writer because I became more critical of my own writing, and more conscious of my word choice and sentence structure. Perhaps more importantly, I had learned to accept and incorporate feedback (critique) along the way.

RJ: It makes sense that developing the skills to be clear and concise in technical writing would be a huge benefit in fiction writing. I’m not sure why that’s never occurred to me before, but I love the parallel. Which author has inspired you the most?

TAP: There are so many wonderful writers out there, that it’s hard to say. However, when I was young, I read The Sword of Shannara by Terry Brooks, and I was so enchanted by the way the author created a whole new world inside my head. It was at that moment that I knew I wanted to be a fiction writer. Since then, I have read many other books, of course, and have been amazed by the work of authors throughout time, but I’d have to say that Terry Brooks was my earliest and most inspirational influence to become a writer (just by chance, I suppose) and I also enjoyed the way he wrote in such descriptive and colorful manner.

RJ: Do you have any advice for other writers?

TAP: To write about what interests you, because then your passion in your interests will show through in your writing and make it believable and engaging to your readers. For example, I utilized both scuba diving and my interest in the ancient Maya in The Serpent Passage.

RJ: Anything special you’d like to say to readers?

TAP: Just that there are many types of writers out there, and it’s important to find your own voice. My preference is to write in a somewhat casual tone that people of all ages can enjoy and talk about together. I suppose that would classify me as a YA writer today. I also like to write in a very descriptive manner, so that you can picture in your mind what’s happening, and carry those images with you after setting the book down, as though you’ve just watched an adventurous movie, and dream about it later that night.

RJ: I understand exactly what you mean. I love the imagery written words put into my head. What are you working on now?

TAP: Of course, I’m working on the sequel to The Serpent Passage, called The Bloodstone. It’s finished, and going through final editing passes, cover design, etc. After I get The Bloodstone out there, I’ll take a diversion and go back to the first book to turn it into a screenplay, and begin to market The Serpent Passage Series as either a movie trilogy or a TV series. Then, of course, on to the final book of The Serpent Passage Series, called The Castle of Kulkulcan. I do have other ideas for new projects, but those will have to wait until I finish this series.

Thanks for the questions…

Todd

Shadow Visions Blog Tour

Blog Hop, Weekly Schedule, Who Art Thou Thursdays 3 Responses »

May 102012

You’ve come to the next stop on the Shadow Visions Blog Tour. Welcome! Welcome! Welcome. Today we have Gabriella Hewitt, authors of Shadow Vision with us to share a bit about their writing. Yes… that’s right, authors. So let’s get to the interview, shall we?

Reena Jacobs: Two authors, one name. Who is behind the pseudonym?

Gabriella Hewitt: Gabriella Hewitt is the pen name of creative writing talents Sasha Tomaszycki and Patrizia M.J. Hayashi. Together they weave tales of romantic suspense and dangerously sensual paranormals. Check out the website www.GabriellaHewitt.com to find out about upcoming releases and events on her blog.

RJ: How do you determine which book ideas to write?

GH: Our list of story ideas would put a child’s Santa list to shame. ( : We have all kinds of sparks for new stories and new series. But we only have so much time and have to be realistic about what we can tackle. We have started stories and then put them aside if they don’t seem to be coming together. Our agent says it as well, in today’s publishing world you have to be able to produce, produce, produce. That doesn’t mean we won’t go back and try to rework those half-finished stories, but we will do so when we really know where they need to go and how to get them there. In the meantime, we’ll move on to a story where all the ingredients fall into place and run with it.

It’s no surprise then that we actually make a few attempts before we hit the right story to get a series off the ground. For both of us, plot tends to come first and we have to go back and really work on building characters. We’ll see scenes in the story and then think of how to connect them together.

RJ: I like that strategy. What’s the easiest part of the writing process?

GH: The research! We love to read history and we find mythology fascinating. Yup, we are geeks and are proud of it. Our favorite myths are Aztec, Greek, Egyptian, Norse, Caribbean and Celtic. You can see a lot of our research ends up in our stories. Shadow Warriors is based on Aztec mythology with a modern twist.

RJ: What’s the hardest part of the writing process?

GH: Rejection. I don’t think any writer truly gets over that hump but you learn to make the best of it. Gabriella Hewitt is two parts that make one whole. So we probably have more rejection letters than most writers combined. LOL!

RJ: Yeah… rejections are tough. With hindsight being 20/20, is there anything you would have changed with your publishing journey?

GH: Write. Write. Write. We began writing in 2005. Dark Waters is the first novel we sold in 2007 and is still one of our favorites. There was a long period between our first book and then for a long time there was nothing. Life got in the way. We’ve been given a second chance with the Shadow Warrior series and we know this time around that no matter what comes up that we need to get our butts in a chair and tune everything out. We now have a routine and make time to type.

RJ: I know what you mean. Seems like everything can get in the way of writing if one lets it. Do you have any advice for other writers?

GH: Think big, dream big and go big. Never stop believing that you will be big someday. Very few writers grab that gold ring on the first try. Study craft, keep writing, and don’t give up. The market is changing rapidly, which means there are more and more opportunities for writers to succeed.

RJ: Anything special you’d like to say to readers?

GH: There is always something going on at our blog http://www.GabriellaHewitt.com

We even have two free recipe ebooks on Puerto Rican and Latin American cooking that we are giving away as freebies.

RJ: What are you working on now?

GH: Currently, we are working on the third novel in the Shadow Warriors series, a modern day paranormal romance based on Aztec mythology filled with excitement, suspense and passion. SHADOW VISIONS is the second book in the series and is available now from Samhain Publishing. The first book, OUT OF THE SHADOWS, is also available.

We also have another installment in the Ever After series planned to be released later in the year.

Manuel has been tracking down a demon bent on sacrificing women with hummingbird tattoos. He is in danger of losing his humanity to his eagle spirit until he comes across Ixa Reyes, a beautiful San Diego Detective working on the same case, who also bears the mark of Huitzilopochtli. She is his salvation and redemption from a past filled with failure. Only she wants nothing to do with him or her heritage.

When a demon kidnaps her grandfather, the wind god, they must work together to save him and all mankind. He has twenty-four hours to help her control her elemental power over wind, that is if he can control his own desires to claim her body and soul. Because if he should fail, then the god of war will bring in a new era filled with blood and destruction.

When the last Shadow Warrior falls, so will humanity.

Enza Blog Tour ~ Who Art Thou Thursday: Kristy K. James

Blog Hop, Weekly Schedule, Who Art Thou Thursdays 7 Responses »

May 032012

The Enza Blog Tour is winding down, but not before Kristy K. James agreed to do an interview with me. Woot!

Reena Jacobs: Congratulations on your new release, Enza. Please tell us a little about it.

Kristy K. James: Thanks, Reena! And thank you for your generosity in helping me get the word out about Enza.

Enza is a story that is told from the perspective of five characters. The first part of the book is getting to know them, and everyone in their lives. The second part deals with their reactions when an influenza pandemic makes its way to their town.

RJ: Sounds devastating. How did you come up with the title?

KKJ: The idea for the story came about because of a documentary I watched on PBS. It told about the 1918 influenza pandemic, a horrible tragedy in world history. At different times throughout the program you could hear little girls chanting this poem:

I had a little bird, its name was Enza. I opened the window, and in-flew-Enza.

The more I learned, the more I realized that I had to write a story about this. And Enza was the obvious choice for a title.

RJ: That’s a beautifully tragic poem. I definitely appreciate the title more now. I love the hopefulness of the cover. Share with us the inspiration behind it.

KKJ: The title came about because of the poem. So I suppose it could be considered a little deceptive, not that I intended it to come across that way. I just kind of wanted it to be simple, yet dramatic.

RJ: It is. Cruising through your works, I noticed your stories tend to focus on family and mending. I rather like the themes. Will you tell us a bit about your writing style and how you’d describe your genre?

KKJ: Oh, this is a tough question. Someone else mentioned my writing style, and it threw me a little bit. As far as I knew, I didn’t know that I one. I was very honored when they compared Enza to the works of Mark Twain and Laura Ingalls Wilder. So, at least for this book, whatever style they had would work. As for the rest, I don’t really know. I just write the stories that need to be told.

Genre? Hmm. So far most of my stories would be considered romance. Enza is more historical/literary fiction. But I hope to branch out and begin writing a young adult/fantasy series sometime in the next year or so. People have called me eclectic for a long time. I guess that’s reflected in my writing life.

RJ: How much of you/your life do you put into your stories?

KKJ: I think all writers put part of their lives into their stories. We can research forever, but I think we still fall back to using some of the things we know. For instance in A Fine Mess, Ian doesn’t like pasta salad. Neither do I. And Annie has an awful fear of flying. She got that from me. In Enza, the outhouse scene with Marcus is based on a story my grandpa told me. We all have a rich storehouse of feelings, ideas and history, and sometimes those things can enrich our stories.

RJ: I know exactly what you mean. Which of your characters do you relate to most?

KKJ: Another tough one. I think I tend to relate to the characters who try to solve problems the most. Thinking about that list, I’m a little dismayed to realize that those would mostly be the male characters in my stories. It’s not that I don’t write fairly strong female characters, I think it’s mostly that I’ve never outgrown the whole ‘knight in shining armor’ mentality. I was a die-hard romantic from the the moment I discovered paper dolls and Barbies.

RJ: In a strange way, I get that… taking some of my best qualities and instilling them into a fantasy dream man. With hindsight being 20/20, is there anything you would have changed with your publishing journey?

KKJ: I wouldn’t have waited so long to look into indie publishing. A few people have noticed that I have four that were released around the same time. But they were written several years ago…and just collected dust because I was too busy being a mom to invest much time in courting agents and publishing houses. I could have had a five year head start if I’d listened to some timely advice. On the other hand, I tend to believe that things happen the way they do for a reason.

RJ: Do you have any advice for other writers?

My best advice for other writers is to read a lot. If you read enough good books, you’ll learn how to write well. Also, I know a lot of authors say they are ‘pansters,’ meaning they just sit down and write. I’m a firm believer in outlining, plotting and planning.

But the most important thing I think any writer can do is to develop very well-rounded characters, and then spend enough time getting to know them. I can always tell when I’ve skimped on that part of a story because the words just refuse to flow. When I spend adequate time imagining my characters in various situations, after writing detailed profiles on them, sometimes it feels like they hijack the story. When that happens, it’s magic happens.

RJ: Anything special you’d like to say to readers?

KKJ: Never give up. If writing is in your blood, if it’s something you’ve always dreamed of doing, keep writing. Keep reading and learning.

RJ: What are you working on now?

KKJ: I am getting the second book in my Coach’s Boys series ready for a May 30, 2012 release date. And I have two WIP’s that are each about a third of the way finished. One is the third in the series. The other is a tribute to the knight in shining armor dreams of my inner teenager. The plan is to have all three finished by the end of the year. Whether that actually happens is another story.

RJ: May is already here! How exciting. I wish you the best of luck with your upcoming release.
