The Author Interviews, Round 3: #6: Bruno Carlos Santos
Please welcomeBruno Carlos Santosto round 3 of the Author Interviews.
Tell us a little about yourself - Perhaps something not many people know?I was born in a coastal town in Brazil but I like cold weather best... I’m addicted to a kind of tea called "mate’." I’m much more romantic than I wish I was, and if I could, I’d eat pizza every day.What made you want to become a writer?It feels like it was meant to be. I´ve been writing and reading my whole life, so when I finally got published, it felt so natural.Million dollar question, are you working on another book?Oh, yes! It is called "Solitude Creek" and will give terrible nightmares to anyone who dares to read it.Pen or typewriter or computer?Pen for taking notes, and computer for heavy duty writing.What tactics do you have when writing? (For example: outline or just write)I always carry paper and pen, so when inspiration strikes I’m all in.Do your characters seem to hijack the story or do you feel like you have the reigns of the story?Yes, once I create them, they take it over and I become a mere beholder of their deeds.If you could spend time with a character from your book who would it be? And what would you do during that day?It would be Lucille; I would ask her to sing to me. I have a thing for female voices.What is the toughest criticism given to you as an author?My book had been just recently called the "worst anthology ever" by a reviewer from an horror website.What has been the best compliment?"Your book gave me chills."Who is your favourite author and why?I really like Clive Barker, but if I had to pick one, I would go for H.P. Lovecraft. His pantheon of disturbing deities are pure art and I'm a kind of outcast just like him.If you would like to support Bruno, please consider purchasing a copy of his book.
