First Annual #AtoZChallenge Book Reviews, Tour, and Blog Hop!
Today's featured book and author:
Twisted Tales
Author Name: Deborah A Stansil
Age category: Adult
Genre: Horror
Brief description: Twisted Tales is a collection of twenty-seven short horror stories. Ranging from crazed stalkers, killers, dealing with the Devil and everything in between, this collection shows the darker side of human nature in all its black glory.
Journey through the twisted minds of the central characters as they make their choices, and watch their lives spiral out of control.
Hate them, empathise with them, and stay on your guard. There’s a dark streak in all of us just waiting to come out.
Why did you take part in the A to Z Challenge the year that your book was "given life"?I did it for the first time the year before and I loved it and I really wanted to get my fiction out there. Twisted Tales was my first book!
Why did you start blogging?I wanted to get back into writing for an audience. It was only ever going to be a short term thing, but I fell in love with it, and here I am, four years later.
Do you have any other books coming out soon?I have a new novel coming out this year hopefully
What other books do you have available?Twisted Tales 2, Twisted Tales 3, The Joker, The Mirror, The Asylum Tour, Lacey Patrick and the Wizard of Darkness, eBook Like a Boss, Start Your Blog Like a Boss, Optimise Your Blog Posts Like a Boss, Parodies and Piss Takes.
#WriteTipJust write. A first draft is just that. Let your words flow and go where your mind takes you without focusing on perfection. Perfection comes much later.
Where did the idea for this book come from, other than the alphabet and the challenge?Partly from observation of human nature, partly from my own twisted imagination ;)
What writing goal do you hope to accomplish this year?I want to finish up the novel I'm currently working on and write a new short story collection. I'd also like to write at least one more non-fiction book and get started on another novel.
EXCLUSIVE TOUR CONTENT: scene
That piece of writing caused more trouble for me than I could ever imagine. It cost me my friends, most of my family and of course my freedom.
They feed me the platitudes – “it’s for my own good” “they want to help me”. None of them make up for my freedom. I’m not in prison, at least not in the traditional sense. I’m in an institution for the criminally insane. It’s no different. How can it not be prison when I’m not allowed to leave?
I’m getting ahead of myself. Let me take you back to how it all happened. After all, it’s not like I’m short on time.
