Comments 1 comment

Crowens: I wanted to interview someone whose focus was not only the entertainment industry but also science fiction. Previously, almost everyone I’ve interviewed has been involved in fantasy or horror. After following you on Facebook I really wanted to interview you. Right away, I’ve been able to pick up on your “contagious enthusiasm” and high energy. Zicree: Glad I could do it.

Take a Bite From The Poison Apple: Interviews from Black Gate Magazine by Elizabeth Crowens

Comments 0 Comment

Over the past two years, since December 13, 2016, Elizabeth Crowens has become one of the most consistently popular contributors to Black Gate magazine.

Each, however, has been a fascinating and in-depth discussion with a prominent individual in the genre. Her interviews have included a cross section of talents, including stunt doubles, TV stage managers, fantasy illustrators, bestselling authors, editors, and…

Comments 0 Comment

Elizabeth: Heather, of all people you’ve not only explored many genres but often you’ve blended them together. Heather: Recently at ThrillerFest, I encountered other authors who had a stigma against horror and its association with slasher themes. If it has ghosts or similar phenomena call it paranormal. I’m so glad now that genres do cross so much. Seriously, Conan the Barbarian — great romance. Look at the love between the two of them. Star Wars — its adventure but it’s…

Leslie Klinger in Sherlock mode An Interview with Leslie S. Klinger Crowens: What drew you to the Victorian era? That seems to be the common thread for most of your books except for your annotated graphic novels. Klinger: When I was young, I was a big science fiction reader. In my second year of law school, my girlfriend bought me a copy of the William S. Baring-Gould Annotated Sherlock Holmes. I was hooked. Like most people, I probably read one…

The Poison Apple: Remember Buffy? An Interview with Tie-in Author Nancy Holder

Comments 0 Comment

Let’s talk about Buffy the Vampire Slayer. When I was doing the episode guidebooks for Buffy, I was taping Joss Whedon… Remember when Spike moves into the crypt? It was pitch-black dark in there and we were sitting on the crypt for our interview. It had been hard to get him, because he was been busy. I had sat waiting and waiting with these old-fashioned tape recorders that looked like movie cameras, and for both of them the batteries had…

Comments 1 comment

Jennifer Brozek, photo by M. Dutta Jennifer Brozek is a 2x Bram Stoker Award Nominee, most recently for Last Days of Salton Academy. Your specialty seems to be YA. Yes, it has turned into that, but that wasn’t always the case. In the past, I did a lot of tie-in fiction for Shadowrun (cyberpunk with magic) and Battletech, which was Young Adult, but Shadowrun was not. I’ve had the most acclaim for my YA work, and every YA novel I’ve…
