Good Saturday all , today we have another victim in our NOVEMBER TO DISMEMBER blog interview in conjunction with READING ZOMBIE . Lets all welcome Roma Gray to the blog
Hi Roma thank you for coming here today
Thanks for having me
tell us a bit about yourself
My name is Roma Gray and I write horror-fusion stories with a Halloween flavor about them. I call them Trick-or-Treat Thrillers.I live in Oregon, have a dog, cat and a parrot. I started writing when I was 8 and I have 5 books and nearly 30 short stories published
Tell us about your books
I have several books out, The Hunted Tribe: Declaration of War (teen witch against a dinosaur animal spirit), Jurassic Jackaroo: Jasper’s Junction (gunslinger holds a contest between criminals to see who joins him on a safari to hunt an dinosaur animal spirit), Haunted House Harbor: Humanity’s Hope (during the zombie apocalypse, survivors discover a town where the zombies are scared to go. But the town has it’s own dark past…) and Celebration of Horror 1: The Best of Roma Gray (Five short tales of terror on various holidays).
Do you have a specific writing style
I focus on strong characterization in all of my stories.
Where did your interest in writing originate
Do you read your reviews and what do you do when you find a bad review
Do you have any writing rituals,
Do you hide little tidbits in your stories that only a few people will get
If you had to do something differently as a child or teenager , to help you become a better writer what would it be
Just write more
how long on average does it take for you to write your books
Do you believe in writers block
NOW FOR SOME FUN QUICK QUESTIONS
COFFEE TEA OR OTHER
FAVOURITE JUNK FOOD
Taco salads
FAVOURITE CHILDREN'S BOOK
HAVE YOU GOOGLED YOURSELF
No but I will now
LAST BUT NOT LEAST
What would you tell any aspiring writer out there
Have your work professionally edited, but still learn the basic rules like comma placement.
It takes many eyes to edit your work properly. And be critical of critical Beta reader reviews.
Stay true to the internment of the work. Don’t add or take away something unless you honestly feel it will
