Podiobook author interviewed on the Haunted Vampire
Kimberly Steele penned the very popular podiobook Forever Fifteen, a modern tale about an incognito 15 year old vampire that’s been around since the Black Plague. She recently gave a text-based interview on The Haunted Vampire, and it’s quite entertaining. There’s much about why she wrote the book, how the characters developed and what her next plans are, but I particularly enjoyed this passage:
I have no fear of rejection, I have reached a mental state where I could truly care less what so-called “experts” think of my writing. My style attracts lots of fans. Even if what I write is not great writing (it’s certainly NOT going to garner any Nobel Prize nominations) I am aware that a small niche is absolutely rabid for it.
What it comes down to is that I simply do not have the time to chase down prospective publishers and agents. Creativity is for me the only effective anti-depressant. Life for me is very unpleasant without it.
Can I get a few “amens!”?
