How do you approach cover design?
Buy a premade cover or hire a professional.
What are your five favorite books, and why?
Hm, this one is rough.
Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice
Queen of the Damned by Anne Rice
Lost Souls by Poppy Z Brite
Necroscope series by Brian Lumley
I'm sure I'm way past five books by including an entire series lol!
These are the books I can read over and over again. I love the characters, the style, everything. I love Anne Rice's Vampires when I was younger and I was very much into Vampires that killed but were also soft in the sense that under the right circumstances I could be spared. But as time passed I wanted something darker and more gritty. I wanted less of the gothic poetry and something a bit more real. I eventually discovered Poppy z Brite and Brian Lumley and I have to say that I would never want to meet any of their Vampires. lol! But that's also what I love the most about them.
