The Story Behind Jack Frost by Christopher Greyson

By Christopher Greyson

 

Most of the ideas for my stories begin with the question ‘What if?’, and the same was true for Jack Frost. What if Jack was trapped on a mountain with a killer? Just thinking about the events that would possibly unfold was very exciting. But the thing I love about Jack is the second question I ask: What if things get worse? That’s where I start ramping up the tension.

 

So, not only is Jack trapped on a mountain with a killer, but he’s cut off from the outside world by a blizzard. And it’s not just himself he’s worried about; he’s trying to protect a group of people. Then one of them gets hurt and needs medical assistance and… the pressure (forgive the intended pun) snowballs.

 

That’s how the story of Jack Frost unfolds. Jack goes up a mountain, and then it’s a downhill thrill ride of twists and turns until the big bang of the ending. The greatest part of the process is that I get to watch it unfold in my mind, and all I have to do is write down what I see.

Interview with Nana Malone, author of Cheeky Royal

What can you tell us about your new release, Cheeky Royal?

Cheeky Royal is book 1 in the Royals Undercover duet. It's a funny heartwarmingly hilarious take on a royal romance.  I love it so much because I got to make the girl the royal guard in charge of protecting the oh so cocky prince. And I also got to dig in to my romantic comedy roots. So if you love a cocky prince, a sassy royal guard and laugh out loud romantic comedy adventures, you'll enjoy this hilarious friends to royal lovers romance!

Who is your favorite couple from literature?

Elizabeth and Darcy of course!

What or who inspired you to become an author?

Helen Fielding - Bridget Jones's Diary. Until that book I hadn't seen anyone writing with my kind of voice. I loved every word and it inspired me to write my first book.

What's your favorite thing about writing?

Getting to watch the characters fall in love. I'm on the same wild ride as the readers are half the time. Lol.

How do you like to spend a rainy day?

This is an easy one. Cuddled up with the kidlet as we both read.

What scene in Cheeky Royal was your favorite to write?

Oh my gosh, so many. But maybe my most favorite was the scene where Penny is getting a photography lesson from Sebastian. She lets it slip that she no longer has a boyfriend and the one obvious obstacle to them being together is gone. Things get pretty steamy pretty quickly. The tension is awesome in that scene. Of course, in this scene neither one of them knows who the other really is so that makes for some problems later, lol.

Do you have a motto, quote or philosophy you live by?

Anything can be done given enough time and resources. I don't believe in not being able to do something. I work hard to scrub the word can't from my vocabulary.

Interview with Daniel Sugar, author of Salem Burning

What can you tell us about your new release, Salem Burning?

“Salem Burning” is a fast-paced, brand-new take on the Salem witch trials. This time, the women win. She Gets Revenge!

In 1692, a disreputable young man accuses his fiancee of witchcraft. Little does he know, she really is a witch.

What books are currently on your night stand?

I’m currently re-reading a Sidney Sheldon novel, “The Other Side Of Midnight”. Such a page-turner! Sidney was amazing.

Who are your literary heroes working today? Why do you admire them?

I really believe that J.K. Rowling is the Charles Dickens of the 21st century. She has a magnificent mind. I love the way she conjures characters - they’re unusually well-done. You really feel you know the people she fashions out of ink.

What's your favorite thing about writing?

I like getting lost in the story; becoming part of the world I’m writing about.

What is a typical day like for you?

I like to write for hours, 14, 15, 16, hours, until I’m so tired I don’t know what the words mean.

BAM. You're a superhero. What's your superpower?

Invisibility. Writers are professional observers of the human condition so that superpower would be invaluable.

What scene in Salem Burning was your favorite to write?

I really enjoyed writing the “Salem Burning” epilogue because it foreshadows the return of Lilly Parris.

Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?

Treat people with respect.
