of Hell

of Monsters

and Unnatural Things

#B2BCYCON2018 Preview

I'm posting today with a quick preview of an upcoming event I'm a part of, the Brain to Books Cyber Convention and Book Expo (B2BCYCON for short). The convention happens in April (from the 6th to the 8th) and basically it is an online showcase for authors of various genres. I'll be doing double duty as a fantasy author and a horror author, and here's what to expect from me.

I will be running my horror activities from this blog, and you will be able to check out my stuff such as the website/blog tour and links to my horror related Cover Wars, the Character Tournament, the Daisy Chain story, my horror Trade Show Booth on Goodreads and the Book Expo. There will also be a video panel discussion that I hosted, Gender Roles in the Horror and Thriller Genres. The book featured in my horror events will be Horror Haiku Pas de Deux, so please come out and have some fun in all the events.

I'll be over on my website, Welcome to Avalon,  for my convention fantasy events and activities, including the fantasy genre blog/website tour. As well, I'll be posting the links to my other fantasy activities in the convention, again such as the Cover Wars, the Character Tournament, Panel Discussions, the Daisy Chain story, my Trade Show Booth on Goodreads and the Book Expo links. The book I have featured in the convention is Ghosts of the Sea Moon, so I hope you will come out in April to support it in the voting events (Cover Wars and Character Tournaments) and come watch me be dorky in things like the video panel discussions.


So remember, on the April 6th-8th weekend, the place to be for books is the Brains to Books Cyber Convention and Book Expo.

B2BCyCon Horror Genre Tour: My Type of Horror by Carol James Marshall

Welcome to the 2017 Brain To Books Convention! 

This is a stop on the 

Out of the Shadows Horror Genre Tour!

Welcome to the Blood Spring!

For this part of the Out of the Shadows Tour, I bring you a delightfully intriguing post on inspiration, monsters and the love of the genre by author Carol James Marshall. Enjoy...

My Type of Horror by Carol James Marshall

The horror genre is massive. The streets of horror are connected to side roads. Those side roads are connected to dirt roads. Fair warning no good can come from a dirt road on the horror path.  There seems no way of mapping the horror genre it is something that must be explored. Many steer clear of the horror roads, being afraid of where they lead to.  I have been down many of those roads trying my best to discover what branch of horror I liked. The horror inclination was always tugging at me giving me the need to wander in it finding where I fit in.

This is article isn’t for or against any facet of horror.  In writing my Women of the Grey series I am constantly surprised at what my readers find creepy, unsettling while others find the same section mysterious and poetic. The fact that this happens is a tell of human nature. While some people smell the flowers, others stomp them, and some plant them.

In my wanderings down the horror path I discovered my horror love is classic horror mixed with some camp. I’ll be the first to line up for a Hammer film festival or to see Elvira at local venue.  I am not a blood and guts fan. My heart belongs to monsters, Kaiju, and those creepy things that go bump in the night. Most of all my heart pumps for those terrifying things that visit us from outer space.

My fandom for monsters and classic horror started off when I was very young. I might have been the only 8 year old on the block watching Godzilla movies, not sure. Thinking back at such a young age my love for these monsters came from admiration. Who wouldn’t want to be Godzilla? If you’re having an awful day wouldn’t it be great to just knock down a building? As a kid I didn’t think about the logistics of knocking down the building, I just knew I wanted to be Godzilla.

As I grew older my tastes for monsters progressed. I watched Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds and had my mind blown by the fact that there was other type of monsters out there. Everyday things could be a monster, just like the birds in the movie. By the way I’m still a bit wary of large groups of birds, being almost certain that they are called a murder of crows for a reason.

In my teen years I discovered Tolkien. Orcs were a new type of monster. After my Lord of the Rings obsession (read the series 5 times) came the Alien movie franchise. As I grew older my palate for monsters was developing. My palate became enhanced more than what was typical. I can clearly remember the first time I watched Pan’s Labyrinth; the eye holding, saggy skin, kid eating monster that our heroine narrowly escapes shook me down and woke me up. That, I could point a finger at, was my type of horror.

There were other things before Pans Labyrinth that put the stepping-stones down for my education into horror. I watched things like Faces of Death and I read Stephen King. I took long walks with Anne Rice books bringing along her vampires and witches.  I did these things to further explore the horror path. I wanted to know how many places it could lead me to. The Faces of Death movies weren’t for me. Stephen King books were a pleasure to read and his movies enjoyable. Anne Rice vampires were seductive, her witches intriguing.

There was so much out there to understand about my relationship with horror, why I liked it and what I liked. Horror is not one solid thing. What is one person’s horror is another person’s main stream; some might believe to have horror you must have torture or captivity. While others might believe to have horror there must be a guy with a mask and machete romping around some lake. 

When it is discovered that I am a writer the first thing people ask is what genre I write. When I say I am a horror author some immediately put their hands up explaining to me that they can’t handle it, don’t like it. “Oh girl, I can’t sleep at night after reading that stuff.” I understand that, but I invite readers to stick a toe in any way. Try my books or other horror authors. Horror isn’t just one thing; horror is many things that can challenge the reader into feeling emotions that perhaps they haven’t explored in a long time.

My cousin and I often had horror, let’s call them discussions she loved the movies I run from. She wanted to watch movies where the human spirit is challenged by little men on tricycles. When I asked her why, she said that she would become engrossed into trying to figure out how she would survive such an ordeal. My cousin is a survivor she’s been through a lot, it added up and made sense.

Another avid fan of gore horror books and movies told me it wasn’t the horror that he loved most of all, but the psychology of it. I often hear this, horror takes us to places within ourselves that we would rather not explore. Horror can have the reader questioning themselves. What would I do? What could I handle? It’s actually not about the zombies, but about how the people handle the zombies.

As a writer I am still on my monster hunt, but now I create them. My current manuscript The Demon Dealer is a nod to the great Stephen King and my love for the show Stranger Things. My books are me still searching, traveling down those horror roads figuring out what makes me jump back and take notice. 

For me the scariest thing of all is the unknown. It’s not that there is something under that bed. It’s the not knowing what that thing is. Because of that I fill my books with mystery. I want the reader to get the creeps over what “it” might be.  Those dark corners of the unknown are where I find myself most often.

If you haven’t tried horror before maybe it’s time you go find your monster; you might learn something about yourself that was hidden on one of those dirt roads.

Carol James Marshall is a new adult author of the Women of the Grey series that likes to flirt with science fiction and horror. Carol James Marshall is also appearing this weekend in the B2BCyCon Book Expo, Blog Hop and Author Showcase.

Brain to Books Cyber Convention: Blood Spring - #OctoberFrights Day 6

Welcome to the end!

Day 6 of the October Frights Blog Hop

Today we sadly bid farewell to the October Frights Blog Hop, but I am finishing the journey with a look at another great event happening in April, Brain to Books Cyber Convention and Book Expo. This fabulous virtual convention is open to most genres, including horror. And I'll also have a little flash fiction for you after the convention spotlight, plus the last day for one giveaway (but the other is on until Halloween).

So on with the show...

What is the B2BCyCon?

The Brain to Books Cyber Convention and Book Expo—or B2BCyCon for short—is an online event modeled in the likeness of a State Fair and a comic book convention. Authors have virtual tables or “booths” just like at a real fair where readers can go and browse the selection. But unlike other events, the B2BCyCon is not just an event on Goodreads. It's not just an event on Facebook. It's not simply a blogging or website event. The Convention is a single three-day event stretched across all the internet world wide. We are on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Goodreads, Google+, more than three dozen websites, and www.b2bcycon.com. We are on video, podcasts, the radio…We are in Greece, Japan, Australia, Bristol, New York, California, Alaska, Hawaii, South Africa, Jamaica, Israel, and India! If you found us through Goodreads, you found only a small branch of the Convention. If you found us through word of mouth, you only saw a sliver. With 160 in our first year, we quickly grew to 800 in our second year. Our third year projects an attendance of more than 2,000.

We are the event for book lovers. That is what we are.

Now for some of the goodies.

Now back to October Frights, and a little tidbit of a story to sail you off into the horizon...

Salt Wind and Bones

The frame of the boat creaked as it tossed on the waters, salty brine splashing its decks and through the rotting cracks of its wood. It lay heavy in the seas, its bowels drowning slowly. Wind blew the boat aimlessly, catching its sails with capricious whims, and whispering silent words to the sun-bleached skulls of the long dead crew.

And always, a lingering sigh greeted the sea’s breeze; a revenant of life, not quite dead but abandoned. A figure, ethereal as the morning fog, draped in translucent white, black locks flowing down her back, salty and damp. She drifted above the deck, among the bones, keeping watch. Hoping one day, they would find home…

Plus, I have not one but two Rafflecopter giveaways for copies of my new book and a poster of the book cover. Check them out at the bottom of the post, after the story.

So now on with the story...

How To Prepare A Feast For Unusual Guests

“No, no, no! I want iced monkey brains for dessert! Not monkey brain soufflé!” These chefs were idiots. “If I serve monkey brain soufflé I’ll be eaten alive.” Literally. “If you can’t get it right I’ll change the menu to iced chef’s brains!”

I took satisfaction in watching the colour drain from his face and shocked fear pervade his eyes. He scurried back to the kitchen, hopefully to prepare the correct dish.

I turned my attention back to the décor. The black candles awaited lighting, placed strategically along the table in gold candlesticks. Pure gold, no iron or silver allowed at this dinner party. Which made acquiring cutlery difficult, but luckily I found some gold sets in storage. Storage also produced an exquisite black and gold set of china dishware. It looked sumptuous against the crimson table cloth with matching placemats and napkins.

Thankfully, my predecessor was a pack rat.

I walked the long table, eyeing the centerpieces, checking their proper positioning. The florist did a magnificent job of arranging the dead roses and dried leaves. They looked as if they had been moldering on a grave for weeks, and smelled as bad.

The guests will adore them. At least I hope they will. They are so mercurial.

Next I checked the curtains, making certain the heavy red velvet drapes were drawn tight, and then turned each sconce down to the lowest light setting. I stepped back and surveyed that the room for the ideal ambience.

Perfect. Dim, but not too dark, with enough shadows to set the mood. Now for the last menu check.

I scanned my copy.

Appetizers

Sautéed Eyeballs on Sliced Mozzarella

Rice Cakes in Garlic Bile Salsa

Salad

Radicchio and Arugula with Goat Cheese, Toasted Fingernails and Almonds

Topped with Berry Balsamic Dressing

Entrée

Seared Lung with Roasted Garlic

Braised Heart with Wild Mushrooms

Roasted Potatoes

Green Beans Almandine

Dessert

Iced Monkey Brains with Blood Sauce

Everything looked suitable.

And the meat would be fresh killed. They always appreciated that touch. Last night’s delivery of those unfortunate ladies topped off our larder. Thank heaven for seedy bars. People are so much easier to kidnap when they’re drunk. Not to mention alcohol creates a nice marinade to tenderize the meat.

As I mused, satisfied everything was perfect, the hotel’s internal bell chimed.

Ah, the first of the guests have awakened. Wonderful. You can always count on the monsters to be prompt…

#‎B2BCYCON Interview With Author Ed Ireland

Today we sadly come to the end of the Brain to Books Cyber Convention author features. But you can still catch the last exciting day of this great event for authors and readers alike on Goodreads, so be sure to pop on by. 

Be sure to check out all the fun here:

Brain to Books Cyber Convention

Now on with the main event, our Brain to Books author feature.

Today I have a great interview with fantasy author Ed Ireland.

Interview With Ed Ireland

Why don’t you begin by sharing a little about yourself.

Alright. I started out life as a child, and then moved very slowly towards adulthood. Eventually I’ll reach it if time doesn’t run out on me first. I was born and raised in Philadelphia, and am currently live in Miami. I’m on my second marriage with a child from each. I’m stuck in the hippie years as far as musical tastes go, am a rabid Philadelphia Eagles fan and a self-confessed video game junkie. I am also one of those people that believe in animal rights.

How long have you been writing, and how many books have you published to date?

I’m actually a late bloomer. I would love to tell you that I wrote my first novel at 3 but it just wouldn’t be true. I actually started writing in my forties. I was so horrible back then. My first book went through about 15 years’ worth of editing. I’m currently sitting at 8 books. 7 are still self-published, but 1 has been republished under Snow Leopard Publishing. I expect to eventually send all of my books to them.

Of all the books you've written, do you have a favourite?

I do. Oddly enough, it’s a book that was an experiment…gone horribly wrong. I wanted to give a first person perspective and decided for some odd reason that having a dual first person would be even better. It’s a great story in the historical fiction genre called Crime Scene. It’s a fictionalized account of the mafia tie to the Kennedy assassination as told through a Philly gangster and his younger partner, a Dallas gangster. I do plan on returning to it and fixing it because it’s such a great story.

You write in several genres. Do you have a favourite? And if so, why?

My favorite is always fantasy. It’s the one genre that allows a writer to stretch as far as he or she can. I think it’s a favorite among readers because it forces them to use a part of their imagination that they only used in their childhood. Take a murder mystery…if I say “Mike shot his berretta from the hip, dropping Mr. Chin in his tracks”, everybody has seen a gun, has seen that scene a million times. If I write about a new race, or a new creature, with no references to draw on, we have to reach way back to that childhood imagination. Personally, I think it makes readers feel young again and that’s always a good thing.

When did you realize you wanted to be a writer?

HA! I’m still not sure that I am a writer or if I want to be one. I guess, if my book should somehow become a NY Times bestseller, I’d grudgingly accept the title. Better yet, if it gets me a new house, then I’ll absolutely take it. As for writing, I just have all these things demanding I listen and this really pushy muse named Marisol that keeps threatening me with brain damage if I don’t write.

Can you tell us about your writing process? Where do your ideas originate? Do you have a certain writing routine?

My process is fairly simple. Marisol directs me to the chair, lights her cigar (yes, she’s that weird) and tells me to write. On my side of the coin, if I don’t perform my ritual, then I don’t write and we fume at each other all day. My ritual is a steaming hot cup of Bigelow’s Earl Grey Tea and four Chips Ahoy cookies. Not 3, not 5…4. Yes, I’m that weird. Once that’s done, I’m ready to go. My ideas come from a million places and the pocketful of scribbled notes that I jot down as things come to me. I also have a sub-folder in my books folder that has future concepts because god forbid Marisol lets me finish one thing before she starts something else.

What do you like to do when you're not writing? Any hobbies?

Well, as I am supporting habits like sleeping indoors and eating regularly, I have my day job. I’m a cabinetmaker so I do love working with wood. The more complex a project, the happier I am. Since that pays the bills I guess it’s not a hobby. I love to cook, specializing in Italian. Don’t let my last name fool you. My step-father adopted me. My family name is Rizzo. I also love to get down and dirty in the garden with vegetable plants. Flowers are pretty, but you can’t eat them. And then, there is the nasty video game habit I referred to earlier.

Could you tell us a bit about your latest book?

Well, hopefully it’s available by the time the Brain To Books Cyber Con is in session. The title is The Last Ranger of Sarn. It’s the first book in my Journals of the Huntress series. It follows a young girl named Vespias Firstlight as she makes her way from carefree youth into troubled adolescence. Just when things seem to be fixing themselves, her lands come under attack by a mysterious warrior and his army of the undead. To compound matters, the mortal enemies of her race approach her, calling for a truce. It seems that she is the chosen one in an ancient prophecy that will save both races from destruction and reunite them.

The story is filled with action, adventure and everything else you expect from high fantasy. It also has the undertones of horror with the plague-born undead. There’s also the romantic love story that follows the heroine. I’ve had readers say it’s a love story against a background of war and others that reverse it as a war story against a love background. I think it has elements that will appeal to a vastly different group of people and they will all take their own views with them.

What’s your next project? Any upcoming book secrets you care to reveal?

As I have said, I’ll be releasing all of my books through Snow Leopard so that means Book 2 in the Huntress series, Blood Moon Sacrifice is already written. There is another high fantasy piece, The Chronicles of the Free People Trilogy that will be going out with them as well. My current projects are a bit varied. I’m working on a cookbook of all things, tentatively called The South Philly Smartass Guide To Good Italian Cooking. I recently met a person with an extraordinary narcissistic complex which gave me the idea for another crime drama called Foremost Authority. Then of course, there is the third book in the Huntress series. It’s entitled The Broken King and it’s a dandy so far. 

Author Bio:

Ed Ireland was born in Philadelphia on September 29, 1954. In January of 1955, the hospital he was born in was torn down. Presumably, they didn’t want anything like that happening again. His adolescence was shaped in Catholic school where the proper use of the common language was the only thing that mattered to the short but strong nuns.

In 1972 he joined the military where his wanderlust surfaced. He has since called many places home such as Texas, California, Nevada, Colorado, Pennsylvania New Jersey, New York and North Carolina while on his way to his current home in Miami, Florida. He claims his penchant for wandering is now at an end here in the shadows of Hemmingway.

Along this great and wondrous trip he has collected memories of some of the most beautiful scenery this country has to offer. He has also met a veritable kaleidoscope of colorful characters that make up the tapestry of his work. Along with his scenic visions, each character in his works carries some part of people he has known in his life, both good and bad.

On the personal side of his life, he is the proud father of two, a rabid Philadelphia Eagles fan, a self-confessed video game addict and a proud supporter of wildlife issues. His particular issue is support for the wolf programs across the country. He encourages support for these magnificent animals and donates a portion of each sale to Runningwiththewolves.org.

As if overthrowing the vampire government and helping implement a new council to make vampires, shifters, and hybrids play nice wasn’t enough, Demetrius Devereux finds a bigger problem to deal with in an innocent, stubborn, and privileged beauty.

Callista Augustus is the over-protected daughter of a once-powerful vampire leader. Discovering her desperate father has tapped into a well of pure evil, Calli swallows her sense of betrayal and turns him in. She almost regrets it when she meets the infamous and arrogant Demetrius. Forcing herself to work with the male who ruined her family, Calli’s only concern is saving her father.

When Demetrius gets past the infuriating personality of the righteous female, he realizes Calli’s the one in great danger. He gives her his help out of duty, until it becomes clear that if he loses her, he loses everything.
