I am SO thrilled to bring you this interview with Crymsyn Hart as she promotes Death's Dance. Don't miss out!!
VP: What is your inspiration? What helps you get through
writer's block?
Crymsyn: My inspiration for writing is really the world
around me. I think every author can say that too. I get a lot of my ideas from
dreams or see something interesting on the news that my brain weaves into a
plot line. I even get ideas based on new words that I learn.
Writer’s block is a pain. Mostly I clean, wait it out, read
a book, or just get away from the writing altogether.
VP: Do you listen to music when you write? Have a completely
silent space?
Crymsyn: I do listen to music when I write. I don’t listen
to anything specific just a lot of many different bands. Sometimes I have
silence, but mostly I need to listen to something to drown up the noise around
me.
VP: When did you first start writing? What genre do you
prefer?
Crymsyn: I started writing early on. The first thing that I
started writing was a fantasy story about unicorns with the friends of mine. I
was in fifth grade. I prefer writing in both the paranormal romance and horror
genres.
VP: What is your
favorite book (or who is your favorite author) and why?
Crymsyn: My favorite book is called The Making of A Monster
by Gail Petersen. I remember picking it up when I was a teenager and I’m not on
my third copy of it. It’s a vampire novel about a woman who gets more than she
bargained for when she meets a man she has fallen in love for. I love it
because it’s an anti-love story. Something about it just resonates with it.
VP: Do you have
another job and if so what is it?
Crymsyn: I do have another full time job. I work in the
insurance industry. I am lucky to be able to work from home most of the week so
I can spend the time with my dogs.
VP: Who is your favorite character? Why?
Crymsyn: My most favorite character is Azrael, the angel of
Death. He appears in at least half of my books. Because he is a grim reaper at
heart, he can move between dimensions so with each book being a different
universe he can pop in whenever he likes. Plus, I also made him into a vampire,
so that makes me happy. Normally when he pops in, he reveals something more
about his past that I never knew.
VP: What scenes are most difficult to write?
Crymsyn: These days the most difficult scenes to write are
the sex scenes when it comes to my paranormal romance books only because I’ve
written so much of it. After a while it gets boring trying to come up with new
ideas where to put what where. Although in horror, I find trying to balance
scenes with being scary enough and not going over the top of the scare
difficult.
VP: Do you see yourself in any of your characters?
Crymsyn: I do see myself in many of my characters. Not in
all of them, but the ones that I see myself in I tend to be my most favorite.
VP: Indie pub or trad pub?
Crymsyn: Indie all the way. I love all my indie publishers.
Most have treated me fairly and I am involved in the publishing process.
VP: If you could
take the place of one of your characters, which one would you choose and why?
Crymsyn: I would
like to take the place of my character Brenna in my Soul Reaper series. She’s also
a grim reaper, a psychic, and a vampire. Also she’s the character that is most
like me. (Because I’m secretly a vampire…shhh) Brenna lives in a world where I
had molded many of the characters with people I worked with at the time and
used the place I worked with as the main setting for the novel.
VP: What is your
favorite TV show/movie from your childhood?
What is it now?
Crymsyn: As a child
my favorite movie was Poltergeist. I have a tossup now between two movies: It
and Rose Red. I watch them the most when I am writing.

Death’s Dance Book
Synopsis: Being a psychic, you would
think talking to the dead was a walk in the park. However, it’s not always that
simple. The hooded specter haunting me is one I’ve been dreaming about since I
was a kid. One day, he appeared in my bedroom mirror. Good. Evil. I don’t know
what his true intentions are.
Enter Jackson, ghost hunting show host extraordinaire, and
my ex, to save me from the big bad ghost.
From there…well…it’s been a world wind of complications. My
house burnt down. I’m being stalked by an ancient evil and gotten myself back
into the world of being a ghost hunting psychic. Jackson dragged me, along with
a few other psychics, to a ghost town wiped off the map called Death’s Dance.
From there things went from bad to worse.
Death's Dance is Book One of the Deathly Encounters Series
