We are really treating you at the minute over at
Confessions!
Just a quick note to let you know about a fantastic week
of interviews, reviews and guest posts coming up next week. It is a week nearly
full to the brim of Mr Jeffery X Martin!
If you don’t know a lot about this gentleman you surely
will by next Wednesday!
Jeffery first came to my attention with his short story, And In The Endless Pause There Came The
Sound Of Bees which appeared in the Black
Room Manuscripts Vol 1. I have to admit to not really giving this one a
glowing report and couldn’t really figure it out. However, Jeffery won me over
to his style when he entered, and won, the authors section of the Confessions
birthday writing competition.
It kicks off on Sunday 31st with Jeffery’s
contribution to the Past, Present and Future feature. On Monday 1st
August, we have Part One of the interview with Part Two coming on Tuesday 2nd
August. This will all be capped off with the Confessions review of Jeffery’s
new book Hunting Witches: An Elders Keep
Novel on Wednesday 3rd.
Please come along an enjoy all that we have planned for
you and don’t forget to tell your friends!
Thanks again for visiting Confessions of a Reviewer!
Nev.
Please call me X. Everyone does.
When I was a kid, fourth grade, to be exact, I wrote a
horror story for a class assignment. It was so good, they called my mother in
to the office for a conference on a day when school was closed for students.
The fourth grade teachers and the school principal wanted to have me evaluated
by a psychologist. The school staff couldn't figure out why I would want to
write a story that was violent or had frightening images. Why wasn't it
football, puppies and rainbows?
I wasn't that kind of kid. My mother knew that. And she
promptly told those teachers, the principal (and that horrible school
secretary, the one who looked like a Raggedy Ann doll, possessed by Pazuzu) and
anyone else within earshot to go f**k themselves.
I still write scary stories. It's my job. It's what I do.
It's what I've always done.
