Contemporary Paranormal Fiction
Date Published: January 31, 2014
My grandfather, who went by Henry his entire life, was really born Francis Michael Laskin. On occasion a few of the older relatives would call him Frank, a name he neither acknowledged nor accepted. I had never understood it as a child but... now in my early thirties, everything I knew about the man, his entire life, those that loved him and those that tried to control him all became clear and it all began with a pair of my grandfather's pants.

I was raised pretty much the same as everyone else... devoted mother, strict father and all the imaginary friends I could conjure. Not that I wasn't friendly, I just wasn't "people orientated". Maybe I lived in my head way more than I should have, maybe not. I liked machines more than people, at least I did until I met my wife.
The first thing I can remember writing was for her. For the life of me I can't remember what it was about... something about dust bunnies under the bed and monsters in my closet. It must have been pretty good because she married me shortly after that. I spent a good number of years after inventing games and prototypes for a variety of ideas before I got back to writing.
It wasn't a deliberate conscious thought, it was more of a stepping stone. My wife and I had joined a dream interpret group and we were encouraged to write down our dreams as they occurred. "Be as detailed as you can," we were told.
I was thrilled. If there is one thing I enjoy it's making people believe me and I like to exaggerate. Not a big exaggeration or an out right lie mine you, just a little step out of sync, just enough so you couldn't be sure if it were true or not. When I write, I always write with the effort of "it could happen" very much in mind and nothing, I guarantee you, nothing, makes me happier.
Author Interview:
Are
there any new authors that have grasped your interest? Yes
! There are so many good writers it’s
hard to keep up. If you’re looking for true murder stories you need to read
Donalie Beltran. If you like Thrillers try Troy Lambert and if you’re looking
for great romance look no further than Kemberlee Shortland !
What are your current projects? I have four new books out
this year. My Contemporary Paranormal Fiction… My Grandfather’s Pants was
released in January. I have a soft Sci-Fi series that will be released April 22
called the Eve Project with Machines of the Little People. Book 2… The Wishing
Stone will be released in August followed by book 3 The Cordovian Effect at the
end of the year.
Name one entity that you feel supported you outside of family members. Normally, I credit my wife
for my writing but outside of her I can name three. The first is my Mentor and friend Terri
Valentine. She is an instructor for Writers Digest and has done more for my
writing than I can possibly explain here. Second, I would have to say my
publisher at Tirgearr Publishing… Kemberlee Shortland… a fantastic Romance
author herself, took the time to read me and was willing to take a chance on a
completely unknown writer and has thrown her full support behind me as well as
all the other writers under her care. Third but not least, would be Troy
Lambert… the Word Master who has given me countless hours of his time and
talent to make my writing far more superior than I would have thought possible!
Do you see writing as a career? Oh
yes! Or at least I would like to think so… I have a good number of books that
are already published and even more that are still in my desk drawer, not to
mention a hand full that are bouncing
around in my head… it would be a shame to have them just gathering dust.
What would you like my readers to know Yikes
!! That one is a tough one. How would I tell them I’m very funny and spin
a very intriguing tale without sounding boorish or like I’m bragging?? You would have to read me to believe me… that
or ask someone that has read me!! You
can ask either one of them… they will tell you I’m good !
