I'm a guest blogger over at Janice Gable Bashman's site today. I wrote an essay about writing fear. I talk about what scares me and how I felt that I forgot how to make things scary.
"I’ve been a horror author for about 12 years now. I never started out to be a horror author, but once I started being published, that’s what people started to call me. Which was cool. As long as there’s the word author at the end the label, I’m pretty much okay with whatever someone wants to call me. I suppose one of the reasons I was tagged as a horror author was because I was able to write about fear. I was good at it. I could scare people and it wasn’t that hard. I’d take the mundane, create normal characters, make readers like them, then do something to them."
For the rest of it, pop on over to Janice's website.
