Can you, for those who don't know you already, tell something about yourself and how you became an author?
Originally, I began as a poet and, to an extent, still tend to think of myself as a poet first, a novelist second. This heavily influences my writing, and has led to some of the most surreal moments of my career. I’ve had poem performed on BBC Radio 6 by The Radiophonic Workshop (the geniuses behind the music for Dr. Who), for instance. I’ve also founded both National Dark Poetry Day (Oct. 7) and the Horror Writers Association’s annual international Dark Poetry Showcase (which recently celebrated its 6th year). I started writing novels about ten years after I’d already been writing poetry, and it would be another twenty years before my first novel (HENRY FRANKS) sold. Since then, I’ve published two more novels (one of which, ALL THOSE BROKEN ANGELS, was nominated for the Bram Stoker Award) and three poetry collections.

Interesting cover. The blurb doesn't reveal very much.
ReplyDeleteSounds intriguing
ReplyDeleteIt's a crazy interesting plot! I think we have all thought of what it would be like to be one of only a few survivors at the end of the world at some time or another. I would love to read a book about it.
