Across the Beer Bar with Haven Malone
Welcome back to my semi-regular, but vastly popular Across the Beer Bar Liz fans and anyone else who can't stand to not stalk my blog!
Today, I welcome Haven Malone to the rail.
Welcome to my beer bar Haven! What can I pour for you to start? Well, I think I would love to try one of your specialty beers. I will let you decide which one.
All right, check out this one: Quick Hatch a brown lager fermented and aged in bourbon barrels….
You are pretty new to the author thing. What made you want to jump into this particular teeming cesspool...erm..."profession?" A friend of mine wanted me to try and create a short story for an anthology she was involved in. Although I didn't have much faith in myself, she was able to convince me to try. When I finished it and sent it in to the publisher I fully expected them to say no to it. Well, that did not happen. My friend went through the story, made some editing changes and before I knew it, my story was published along with four other authors.
Tell us about your book, Victoria's Haunting? What inspired you to write it?Victoria's Haunting was my first venture on my own. I decided that, since my first story made it through the publishing process, that maybe I should try something on my own. I have always been a fan of paranormal stories combined with some erotica. So, that's where the inspiration came from. I sent the manuscript to a publisher but they decided not to use the story. Anyway, I was asked if I had ever tried self publishing which of course I had not. That's when I discovered Createspace and could publish it myself. So I went through the process and the book was approved and published very quickly through Createspace.
oh look, empty glass--what can I get next for you?That was a very good beer but I am more of a mixed drink person so, could I have a Captain Morgan and cherry coke please? sighs heavily, rolls eyes and pours Haven a glass of water pondering how many times I've said this: 'NOTHING BUT BEER IN HERE' while wondering how anyone drinks cherry coke much less laced with rum….
Do you have a preference when it comes to genres to read? if so why?I really don't have a preference for genres. My tastes range widely on what I read. I have done young adult, erotica, and some classics as well.
What are your goals for yourself as a published author? Other avenues of life?Not many goals now since I am retired. I am just going to keep punching away at my keyboard and hope that someday my writing will be good enough. Although, no matter what happens with my writing, I won't stop because I enjoy it far too much!
Ok, nightcap time, what's your poison?I believe I will have another Captain and cherry Coke please. Thank you so much for allowing me time with you. Smiles indulgently, pats Haven's head and hands her more water….
