Richard Sutton (richardsutton) | 110 comments Carroll;
This month, at http://www.sailletales.com I've hosted three authors discussing first drafts. They talk about how they proceed, how they prepare, how they cringe, etc... Next month, February, I'm launching a series of guest posts for authors discussing the one thing that created the most stress, following publication, and how they deal with it. Authors that have at least a couple of books in the market are eligible to post.

Pearce Hansen | 3 comments Hi all,

I'm looking for interviewers that want me as an interviewee, as I've just released my second novel Stagger Bay.

Markus, Stagger Bay’s protagonist, is a man who overcame a horrendous childhood and criminal youth to go straight and raise a family. His violent past makes him an easy fall guy to frame for a gruesome mass murder and he’s sentenced to life without parole, losing his family in the process.

Exonerated and freed on DNA evidence after seven years, Markus is shortly thrust into a bloody do-or-die fracas during an elementary school hostage situation, becoming an overnight hero. Everyone wants in on the media feeding frenzy; to his dismay, paparazzi and news crews hound him wherever he goes. Unfortunately they’re not the only ones stalking him.

Can Markus find the path back into his estranged son’s heart? What’s Markus supposed to do, when he discovers fifteen minutes of fame is the worst thing that could ever happen to him? What can he do, now that his town is hunting ground to serial killers and rogue cops working together – and the shadowy force behind them is turning its cold, deadly eye straight at him?

Stagger Bay is a battle of wills, where every moral choice seems only to increase the body count. It’s in the tradition of Paul Cain’s break-neck-paced Fast One, or Geoffrey Household’s feral man-against-the-world Rogue Male. Stagger Bay should appeal to readers looking for a fast paced, hyper-violent thriller.

Ken Bruen (author of Blitz starring Jason Statham; and of London Boulevard, soon to be a major motion picture): “Stagger Bay proves what noir purists have known for a long time: Pearce Hansen is the new Prince of Noir. For years he’s been turning out stunning nuggets of sheer black gold, and now he finally comes into his ascendancy with this mesmerizing novel.

“Imagine James Ellroy coupled with George R. R. Martin and overseen by Charles Willeford. But PH really needs no comparison to any other writer; he’s created his own compelling dark universe that ratchets up noir to an astonishing level.”

Jason Starr (bestselling author of The Pack and The Follower): "Pearce Hansen is the real deal, the Edward Bunker of our generation. Stagger Bay is a searing, powerful, heartbreaking novel, and an important contribution to contemporary crime fiction literature."

Anthony Neil Smith (Editor of Plots with Guns!, Associate Editor of the Mississippi Review, and author of All the Young Warriors): "Pearce is a wild man, and demands your attention. Hansen is definitely one of the gonzo crowd and deserves a stage with a loud amplifier and some bright lights."

View it's particulars at http://www.amazon.com/Stagger-Bay-ebo.... I can supply it in PDF to anyone that wishes to interview me, and/or willing to review & post on Amazon, Facebook, Twitter & Goodreads.

Thanks always,
Pearce Hansen

message 12: by Scott (new)

Scott Bury (scottbury) | 1 comments Hello, all interviewers.

My novel, The Bones of the Earth, is now available on Amazon and Smashwords. I'm up for any interviews.

I like to call the book dark historical magic realism. It's set in a real time and place: eastern Europe in the 6th century, the darkest of the Dark Ages. Although it's based on a lot of solid research, it also incorporates fantasy and occult elements: vampires (not sparkly), witches, monsters and three dragons (not cute or friendly).

I'd be up to talking about my writing process, or the content, or the symbolism (there's lots), or the style, or the publication process - or just about anything else.

You can reach me and find samples through my blog, scottswrittenwords.blogspot.com


message 13: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth Reuter (miritsu) | 18 comments Hi Hira and M.r.

Like other authors here, I could use the exposure that comes from an interview/review. *laugh* If you've got any spaces left, I'd love to have one.

My novel, Demon of Renaissance Drive is a dark fantasy about a succubus so bored with Hell she decides it's time to escape, with a very dangerous, and traumatised, damned soul in tow.

If you're interested, contact me here on goodreads; I'd be happy to supply you a PDF of DoRD. Same to any other reviewers/interviewers. Thanks!

message 15: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth Reuter (miritsu) | 18 comments Hi Elizabeth, sorry not to get to you faster; was in the middle of many crisis, but I'd love to interview you! Just lete know how you'd like to do it? Over gr or email? Whatever suits you

*smiles* My turn, sorry for the delay. If you're still interested, I'm happy to accomodate you. You can always e-mail me, or we can talk over Skype if that's better, though since I live in Japan my hours are probably fairly different to yours. *laugh*


message 16: by Lanie (last edited Mar 22, 2012 01:52PM) (new)

Lanie Malone | 41 comments I've never done an interview, from either side, but I have a book out and I could use the boost.

In about a week I'll be pulling my book from Smashwords and going with KDP Select. It would be nice if I could time an interview to coincide with some of my free days.

Amos Cassidy | 5 comments Hi Hira, We are a pair of self published authors looking for a little boost. We would love to do an interview with you. Our book Crimson Midnight was published last month as an ebook. An interview to allow readers to get to know us would be great! Our genre is Urban Fantasy.

message 26: by Josh (new)

Josh Mitchell (wickid_pissa) | 3 comments I would love to be featured:

My new novel "The Dude Who Did Dictionaries" is now available on Amazon via Kindle Direct as a KDP Selection - www.amazon.com/dp/B00M0DUI8Y

Frank Flutie is a lexicographer who has waged war on the "perils of adultolescence" by leaving a high-paying job as a copywriter for an advertising company called The Banker and taking a low-paying job in a bookstore instead, ostensibly so he can write the first ever all sexual dictionary.

The "war" (and his dictionary), however, aren't going particularly well and, under the stress of his "self-imposed exile" from affluence, Frank has become petty and fatalistic -- "a shit hoarder whose dictionary would be better utilized as a flyswatter, a doorstop, or a paperweight".

Always broke, but too proud to accept charity, he rarely sees his few friends and cannot get the virginal Marlene in bed because (or so he believes), "If you got no dough, no woman will love you."

On the mantle in Frank's shabby apartment is a sickly but unkillable pet sea lamprey -- a jawless fish he abhors as the banner of the sort of "clockwork universe" he is fleeing from in his downward spiral.

In the course of his misadventures, we become grindingly aware that his radical solution to the problem of the money-world is no solution at all -- that in his desperate reaction against a monstrous system, he has become something of a monster himself.

"The Dude Who Did Dictionaries" is a behemoth valentine to Boston and a gritty, sprawling, depiction of today's recession-inflicted state of affairs.
