3Q’s – Erik Hanson spreads his Wicked Blood!
Another fun one today friends!
Erik Hanson has been churning out some really dark fiction as of late, so it made perfect sense to invite him over and have a quick chat!
Welcome, Erik!
Steve: What does your writing time look like? Do you try and write at the same time each day? Do you have a word count you attempt to hit?
Erik: The fact that I have a young daughter makes it impossible to write the same time every day. As for word counts, I don’t have a specific number in mind. In the past, I would write until my back or head hurt and then marvel at the amount of words I produced. Nowadays, I just write in chunks. Sometimes it could be 300 words; other times, it might be 1,800.
Steve: You win the lottery and the only condition is that you need to fund another author’s book to be made into a movie. What book would you choose to be filmed?
Erik: While J.W. Ocker is gaining mega-traction in the genre, I would order someone to adapt his middle grade horror book called THE SMASHED MAN OF DREAD END. It would appeal to kids and adults. Furthermore, it would give a director lots of creative visuals to play with. I am shocked that it hasn’t been nabbed yet.
Steve: Tell me about your newest release (novel/story/poem/novella) and why someone should read it!
Erik: WICKED BLOOD from Demain Publishing is my latest novella. Everyone should read it if they like fast-paced horror with loads of family dysfunction. Also, it can be read in a single sitting. Most readers have said so.
Steve: Bonus Question! If you could be an extra on any TV show, which one would it have been and why?
Erik: My brother used to live and act in Hollywood, so the joy of being an extra has been drained out of me since I have stepped on a few sets. It’s depressing because a lot of the magic is removed once you see actors do tons of takes in fake spaces. That said, I would love to be on the set of STRANGER THINGS. Even though the latest season got off to a slow start, the last three episodes were incredible. I feel like a writer could learn a lot by being on a set with that much creative energy in the air. I’m a pretty straightforward writer, so it would amuse me to be around that blend of sci-fi horror.
Awesome! Thank you so much, Erik!
