Interview with Christian Terry
Zora Marie (ZM)- We have the self-published author of Ten Lives, Christian Terry here with us today. So, what do you do?
Christian Terry (CT)- I’m an author! I write what’s in my heart and hopefully it translates well to paper.
ZM- I’m only one voice, but I thought it did. So, what is your writing process? Do you have a time, day or place you like to write?
CT- I listen to a mix of hip-hop, John Williams, and video game music with headphones cranked up when I start writing. Morning is my time and in the quiet living room is where I do most of it.
ZM- What do you like to do when you’re not writing? Full-time job, pets, hobbies?
CT- I work full time in a psychiatric hospital with people who have mental illness . I love video games and I’m also a big film buff, and a semi-comic book geek.
ZM- What’s your all time favorite animal? It can be mythical.
CT- Has to be flying squirrels.
ZM- Really? And no flying squirrels in your book? What a letdown. So, do you have a favorite myth? If so, tell us about it!
CT- El Dorado, the famous lost city of gold.
ZM- Ooo, that’s a good one and not one I hear of very often. On to another topic, any advice for authors about book covers?
CT- Take the advice of your peers because sometimes they see flaws in what you may not be able to see.
ZM- Any marketing tips you’d like to share with other authors?
CT- Socializing and networking plays a huge part. I know some authors are in their comfort zone and don’t like to reach out but in order to be successful in this community we have to continue to interact and help one another. Those are the facts, Jack.
ZM- Tell us about your next book project. Anything Ten Lives related?
CT- I’m currently working on a short story that has time travel. And I’m also writing up the first draft of Ten Lives sequel …spoilers…Seven Lives.
ZM- What are you reading now?
CT- I have a few books to finish as of right now. I’m currently reading V.L. Holt’s Battle Bred series, Jan Hind’s Sneaking Suspicions, I’m listening to the first book in the Dark Tower on audible, Ghostbusters:Containment comic anthology.
ZM- You sound a bit like me, only I have ten plus books in my to be read list. Well, it would appear that is all we have time for today so here’s the blurb for Ten Lives and then you can check out my review of Ten Lives by clicking here!

Blurb:
After agreeing to hunt down an ancient relic on an alien world, Mike Wesley may have gotten more than he bargained for: the mark of the hero which gives him the ability to respawn after death, ten times.
Now, between the deadly booby traps and the cute, cuddly yet murderous cat creatures that inhabit the world of Kelenia, he’ll need each one of his new lives if he wants to make it back to Atlanta in one piece.
