Some interview questions from my campaign:
About me:
Cecelia is an Australian author and poet who has a special
interest in American Literature. In 1993 she completed a Masters thesis on H.P.
Lovecraft and the 'Gothic' or 'weird tale'. She followed this with a study of
the Fairy Tale Motif in Victorian Literature in 1996, also at Masters' level.
Today, Cecelia is hard at work creating her own fairy tales and myths.
Q. What is the inspiration for the story?
A. Dracula, Twilight, The Vampire Diaries, True Blood etc.. the
list goes on. The names in the story are generated (not copied) from the poem
THE RAVEN by Edgar Allan Poe. The work also connects to my Masters level
studies on H.P. Lovecraft (1994) and Fairytale Motifs in Victorian Literature
(1996).
Q. What draws you to this genre?
A. My vivid imagination and my early reading. When I was a child, I had an illustrated book about King
Arthur. Sometime later, I discovered vampires, witches and werewolves. I love
fantasy because it is different. This story also contains a lot of Americana,
because I love watching American film and television. Go Buffy! Yay Charmed!
Q: How did you develop the cover?
A. I can't REALLY draw, but in an emergency I try! I had an image in my head of a boy and wolf companion, high on the side of a mountain, with the werewolf sitting on a rock, howling to the moon. I roughed this out to show an artist friend, hoping they could do better with a nice background too. They said they liked it - but didn't have the time. This left me attempting to turn my rough concept sketch into a cover.
Q: Did you use any technology to help you create the cover?
Yes! I traced silhouettes, coloured them by hand, scanned and adjusted using 'Paint'. Then I made a colorful background in 'Paint' using geometric shapes. Finally 'Paint 3D' helped me put it all together. 'Covermaker' added the titles and made it more professional.
