At this moment, I have my
short comedy, paranormal,
‘The Last Train’. Jake is
trying to reunite with his
wife. The problem? He’s
dead. It is a paranormal
adventure on both sides of
the mortal curtain.
I also have two volumes of
‘Eyes of Prometheus’, which

also honored to be the first to
publish Wren Hartwood’s
stories. Rose Blackthorn is
well established in many
twisted

horror
anthologies, so I enjoyed
working with her and her
thought-filled zombie story in
volume 2.

What inspired you to write
this title or how did you
come up with the storyline?
The Last Train came to me
tucked in the usual non-stop
tap on my bottomless barrel
of story ideas. Both intrigue
and newness drew me to it as
it almost plotted itself out
without a moments warning.
The
storyline
just
fell
together and when I plotted it
out in a graph, I was hooked.
I use Inspiration 9 for this.
are
collections
of
the
supernatural
genres:
paranormal, fantasy, science
fiction, and horror. The few
free verse items range in
emotion and purpose; two
exemplify an author’s heart. I
have several short stories in
these as well as other
authors. They write and I do
all the rest. Barry Woodham is
an established sci-fi fantasy
novelist with many short
stories to share. (Author’s

Though I set out for a more
serious take on the story, the
characters quickly turned it
into a comedy version of my
ideas.
The way I wrote it, each
reader goes away with
something different as can be
seen
in
the
reviews.

The power of undying love
becomes obvious. There is
also a subtle message about
prayer as an outgrowth of
Jakes journey.
Is there anything else you
would like readers to know
about your book? To date,
my books are all quick reads
and are loaded with surprises
for only $0.99 each. The Last
Train, for instance, had been
called a genre mutt because it
covers so much in its seventy
plus pages. Though I avoid
cliffhangers, many readers
wish they were expanded into
full-length novels.
One reviewer said, “The story
is told in such a light and
humorous way that one finds
delight
in
what
might
otherwise be a grim ride. –
John Holland.”
Do you have any advice for
other writers? Keep your eye
on the goals in your plot
vicissitudes, and do not le t
your characters push so hard
that you can’t smoothly get
back to your plot. Develop an
emotional connection to your
characters that will carry into
your writing. Enjoy your
creativity!
