ATIV Finalist - Evonne Wareham

By -

1) Tell us a brief bit about yourself.

Evonne Wareham - from Wales. I live on what used to be an island, surrounded by water on three sides. The dominant species in my home is house plant - so it is nice and quiet for me to write.

2) What's your story about in a nutshell (ooo look, it's me in a nutshell!)?

Out of Sight, Out of Mind - Mind-reader meets mind-reader. Love and mayhem. Bad guys meet nasty end.

3) Is it true you write in a trance?

Only when sleepwalking.

4) Don't you secretly wish the other contestants would just drop out?

Of course. I have ten wax images here in front of me, all with pins through the heart. Wait a minute - ten? I've included myself in there. That's probably why it isn't working. (Only kidding guys - love you really.)

5) What is your favorite paranormal being and why?

Tough one - I am partial to one or two of Sherrilyn Kenyon's werewolves and Dark Hunters.

6) Ever had a paranormal experience yourself?

No - but I do occasionally have mildly psychic experiences. Very mild. But don't we all?

7) What's your writing ritual?

I'm an old fashioned girl - pen, paper and a comfy seat. I like writing on trains.

8) How much are you going to pee yourself if you win?

I refuse to answer that on the grounds that it may incriminate me.

9) If you could mud-wrestle any author, who would it be and why?

The actor Jeremy Northam played a Victorian writer in the film Possession. It has to be him. And I want the mud heated to body temperature, please.

10) What kind of underpants would your main character wear?

Boxers for him, probably. Something lacy for her.

11) You have to pick two cartoon characters to duke it out in a colossal battle, Godzilla-style. Who would you pick and how would it throw down?

I have no idea. I was so traumatised when Bambi's mother was killed I haven't watched a cartoon since.

12) Alliance or Horde? Peas or carrots? Franks or beans?

Fish or chips? Fred or Ginger? Sane or crazy?


Thanks Evonne!

THE WRITE PRETENDAS

WE at the League of Reluctant Adults are pissed. Miffed. Put out. Thoroughly riled. We don't often get political, nor do we often get angry. But an angry Leaguer is an UGLY thing. Just look at Mark over there, all snarly with rage. Why are we angry, you ask? BECAUSE WE DIDN'T GET BOYCOTTED. There's this group calling itself "The Write Agenda," who claims to be a bunch of authors looking out for other authors. In reality, we're pretty sure they're a bunch of con artists who got mad at people calling them con artists. Why? Because they attack two of the best friends an author or an aspiring author can ever have: Writer Beware and Absolute Write Water Cooler . Here's John Scalzi's breakdown of what this Write Agenda is, and why they're doing what they're doing. For those not in the know, Writer Beware and Absolute Write Water Cooler are free services that collect information on agents, editors, and publishers. They report on thin...

Carniepunk Giveaway and Tour!

So, I'm sitting in my kitchen working at my laptop, as far as you know, when the doorbell rings. As any normal human being would, assuming there was a solicitor at the door or a sappy-eyed child selling diet-busting candy, I reached for my gun and slipped to the floor to avoid detection. Creeping across the hall, I lifted my head just in time to see the bestest shit-brown truck that ever existed barrel away leaving a puffy beige package on my doorstep, just like an unwanted baby...or THIS... YESSSSSSS!!! Carniepunk ARCs came!!! Now, some of you may know that this literary wonder was the brainchild of my friend and fellow Reluctant Adult, Kevin Hearne, author of such Iron Druidness as HOUNDED and star of a certain Single Ladies Dance Spectacular, featured here (feel free to witness that particular madness as you continue to read toward the inevitable contest): As excited as I am about my story in CARNIEPUNK (July 23rd), THE SWEETER THE JUICE (a post-apocalyptic zombie h...

5 Great Horror Movies to Rinse the Bad Taste of Ouija Away

In my ongoing effort to save you from studio horror movies cobbled together from the compressed shit of Hollywood burnouts, I bring you alternatives to OUIJA! #insteadofouija OUIJA has hit DVD/VOD and there's nothing we can do about that but don our gas masks, hunker down and pray for dawn. A horrifying prospect, but at least we can be entertained while waiting for the fallout to subside. Here's a few fantastic 2014 horror movie releases to make you feel like the world is still worth living... OCULUS seems to be a secret to this day. Despite some great buzz and a truly inventive style of storytelling, bouncing back and forth in time so fast the audience is left in a constant state of unease. The story wraps itself around a rapidly deteriorating family relationship brought to the brink of insanity by the presence of a haunted mirror. And that's where things get weird. The acting is pretty above average and the horror set pieces are jarring. OCULUS wasn't my fav...
