The February Author Interview-Deno…Deno. A certain Mr Sandz
Hey, hey, hey fellahs, can we just be a bit nicer here?
Ok..but you see that this here button….?
Okay…..Deno, firstly ��tell us a little about your good self?
Deno. My name is Deno Sandz, originally from Chicago, Illinois now residing in Ohio, a U.S. Army Veteran.
I���ve published horror novels such as: ���Miss Mary Weather: A Southern Nightmare���
(2000), ���Pen of Iniquity��� (2008), ���I,AM��� (2010), ���Blood Plantation��� (2011), ���Cry
Heaven Cry Hell���The Return of Miss Mary Weather(Sequel)���(2013), ���Icabob Shaw���
(2014),�� ���The House of Shangri-La��� (2014), and ���7even Dreams: A Dialogue with
Evil��� (2015), and�� have numerous unpublished novels in the works.�� I have
written articles on every aspect of society.�� 
My short stories transcend the heart, soul, and mind of the reader.�� For example, my story, ���Awakened��� is a teaching tool in the Oakland School District for the last five years.
I have other short stories published in the pages of magazines across the country.�� I
also write poetry/prose.�� I am the creator of Deno Sandz Productions/Six
Shortyes Films.
Shey….��Horror writers come in many types.�� How would you describe
your work?
Deno. I would describe my work as ���Soul Frightening,��� ���Consolidated Horror
Fiction,��� ���Thought beyond reality,��� and ���Optical Fear Provoking Entertainment.���
Shey. So? Scary Maries eh!��
What drew you to write and get into this ‘murderous’ business?
Deno.�� The love I had as a young person to read and
imagine propelled me to write, creating an acronym I call today: ���V.I.C.���: This
is Visualization, Imagination, and Creativity.
Shey.�� Who would you cite as your main influences?
Deno. I would have to say the Lord my God, then my grandparents
and parents.
Shey. ��Your grandparents must be very special to you Deno. Where does your actual inspiration come from?
Deno, My inspiration comes from the world���s mind, body, soul, and its parallel existence to another world that we cannot see, thrust upon us in our nightmares.
��Shey. ��Can you tell us a bit about your next release?
Deno. My next novel is entitled: ���Whorehouse on Penguin
Creek���
��It’s a paradise gone bad.��If you are ever driving, pass a sign that reads, ���Whorehouse on Penguin Creek��� next exit–keep driving����� Because not every pleasure is good for you. In the summer of July 1834 in Arkansas, during the time of the, ���Wild Man of the Woods,��� believed to be a Bigfoot���a gigantic hairy man-like creature with huge feet,�� six people of a secret cult�� brutally sacrificed themselves�� in the name of Satan. One by one their bodies fell and descended beneath the shallowly waters of Penguin Creek………�� Until they were reborn with a drop of human blood….
Shey. What is this King of Cleve biz?
Deno. ��It was an honor and privilege to receive a TOP AUTHOR AWARD from the Land of Cleve Achievement Awards: Raise the Glass Ceremony 2014.�� Cleveland has shown me true artist adoration.�� In addition, through these great accomplishments/awards bestowed upon me.�� I am humble and grateful to receive the accolades such as King, Acclaimed, Master, and Prolific from artistic enthusiasts, fans, and friends.
Shey.�� A lot of��aspiring authors follow this blog, any writing tips?
Deno.�� If you are not inspired to write on your own, why write. If you are not willing to be inspired, why write?�� Bad reviews should not discourage you from continuing
to write. In addition, remember: ���If a writer���s work is to be read, the writer
too must be read.���
Shey. That’s cos you ate it. Thank you Deno, for joining us today. Now I do believe Bobby Bub wants a word. Just let me press this button…….
Blurb:
A reinvention of the 19th Century Dime Novels
What happens when you curse God and touch a book of Dead Dreams written by the (Son of Satan)? This book makes the reader wonder if the Dialogue with Evil is a
distortion. Is the mirror reflection of reality without a mirror his (Omar
Small)?
