The Avid Reader
Can you tell readers a
little bit about yourself and what inspired to write in this particular genre?
MCJ: I
have always wanted to write since I was a very young child; as young as eight
years old! But I was a reader first; the earliest I can remember drowning
myself in a book was 3 or 4years old. Fascinated by the pictures, wanting to be
in the world they described. I have always loved paranormal/fantasy…magic,
power, beings that are so vastly different from anything that can be considered
“real” life! Although, the characters in my favorite books and in those I write
have become so real, I find the lines of fantasy/reality blurred at timesJ But this genre, pulls me out of the regular and the
mundane, and allows me to escape and really, let’s be honest…its’ a great
opportunity to live through the characters; having some wicked powers/skills
and in love with the hottest guys, who remain young and beautiful forever!:)
What is it about the
paranormal, in particular vampires, that fascinates you so much?
MCJ: Other
than the obvious portrayals of being extremely handsome…Vampires although the
ultimate “bad boys”, have an unrivaled ability for passion and to commit to an
unshakeable bond between themselves and the one they love. Yes, there is that
element of danger…that the vampire lover could cross the line to predator…I
believe it’s that thrill of danger that fuels the attraction for these beings.
What inspired you to write
this book?
MCJ: To be
honest, the idea came about due to the town where I live. It isn’t really
considered a small city but it is quiet…normal really. But one day while
driving, I began to imagine what if in this all American city; Vampires were
actually the ruling class????Well, that started my thoughts swirling, and one
day I saw the Pythian Children’s Home which is located locally. It is designed
as a medieval castle… which I thought somewhat
unique, since we’re dead smack in a Southwestern townJ So, that is where I limited the story…instead of a
ruling class of Vampires, I made a class full of themJ;so, within this murky clay of thought is where the idea
originatedJ
Do you have any weird
writing quirks or rituals?
MCJ: I
have to have solitude, my music (Rock) and gummy bears!
Do you write in different
genres?
MCJ:
Presently, I foresee staying within the fantasy/paranormal genre. But Science
Fiction has caught my interest, and one day I may look in that direction.
When did you consider
yourself a writer?
MCJ: When
the kids at my After School center said…”So when’s the next one coming”?:)
Although, I know the
correct answer, is when you begin putting pen to paper, of fingers to
keyboards…that is when you are a writer; even if no one else has read your
masterpiecesJ
What are your guilty
pleasures in life?
MCJ:
Curled up in my favorite throw, reading on my Kindle; or watching True blood,
Vampire Diaries etc.; Or pretty much, any show with unsuspecting individuals in
a small town; and paranormal beings are wreaking havoc of the “normal”
characters everyday lives!:)
(RR- we have a lot in common, those are my guilty pleasures too- reading, Vampire Diaries, True Blood, Teen Wolf and any other show with apranormal stuff and I have my special throw blanket dubbed the fuzzy LOL)
Other than writing, what
are some of your interests, hobbies or passions in life?
MCJ:I
LOVE music, I find it very inspiring…I believe the coolest thing would be if we
could all walk around with our own soundtracks! We wouldn’t have to say how our
day is going; the music would say it all! , lol unfortunately, this cannot be,
so I have my own radio segment to fill that needJ
Where is your favorite
place to read? Do you have a cozy corner or special reading spot?
MCJ: Not a
specific one, anywhere I can find a quiet nook, with my favorite blanket and
book/Kindle is good for meJ

Thanks so much for hosting me today!:)
Curled up on the couch watching True Blood and The Vampire Diaries sounds good to me too.
Great minds think alike!:),lol...thanks for stopping by!
Magical spells really work!! I never thought there were still honest, genuine, trustworthy and very powerful spell casters until i met the spiritual helper, MERUJA OWO. last week he did a love spell for me and it worked effectively and now he just casted another healing spell for my friend who has fibroid and family problem and now she is totally free and she is presently the happiest person on earth, she keeps thanking me all day..
I just thought it would be good to tell the whole world about his good work and how genuine he is, i wasn't thinking i could get any help because of my past experiences with other fake casters who could not bring my husband back to me and they all promised heaven and earth and all they are able to do is ask for more money all the time until i met with this man. he does all spells, Love spells, money spells, lottery spells e.t.c i wish i can save every one who is in those casters trap right now because i went though hell thinking and hoping they could help me.i recommend MERUJA OWO for any kind of help you want.
his email address is: nativedoctor101@live.com
if you want to ask me anything my e-mail is: dorispinto1001@gmail.com
Kind Regards!
