Language in the blood: Book 1 by Angela Lockwood



Until the outbreak of the First World War, young Cameron Blair would have liked nothing better than to stay in Edinburgh and marry his childhood sweetheart. As the call to arms goes out, Cameron and his pals sign up to fight for their country. They are soon delivered into the nightmare of war, and there Cameron more than meets his maker.

The story follows Cameron as he comes to terms with his new ‘life’, from his first days as a hapless vampire in war-torn France to the glamorous modern day setting of the Côte d’Azur. Along the way, he develops a distinctive taste for the finer things in life: jewels, yachts, small dogs and champagne-infused human... 



About the author
Angela Lockwood-van der Klauw was born in the Netherlands. She learned her trade as a jeweller and gemmologist at the Vakschool Schoonhoven before moving to Edinburgh as an apprentice jeweller. There she met and later married her husband Adam. Angela ran her own jeweller’s shop in Edinburgh for ten years before she and her husband moved to the south of France in 2011. Like Cameron, Angela prefers the climate there, but often thinks about the town she left behind and its people.

Cameron’s story was born in the spring of 2013, a very wet spring during which Angela found herself climbing the walls, frustrated that she couldn’t go out and have her usual long walks along the seafront. Seeing his wife’s frustration, Adam suggested ‘Why don’t you write a book?’

Angela thought about it for a few days, then switched on her laptop and started writing. This is her first book.

The Girls of October by Josh Hancock



 "The Blair Witch Project of books...a superb novel." -David Royce, horrorcabin.com

The Girls of October tells the story of a young woman who develops a strange fascination with John Carpenter’s Halloween, believing that somewhere within the 1978 horror classic lays the truth behind an arcane force that has terrorized her since her childhood.
As an escape from a world that has not always been kind, film student Beverly Dreger takes comfort in spooky urban legends, horror movies, and monster magazines. But when a string of bizarre murders draws her closer to the folkloric entity known as “the bogeyman,” Beverly must unravel the mystery of her past and confront an ancient evil.
An epistolary novel, The Girls of October collects fictional primary sources—newspaper articles, film criticism, screenplays, short stories, interviews, police reports, and more—to tell a chilling story of psychosis, family secrets, and murder.

What inspired you to start writing, and when?

I don’t know—I just know that I was always writing fiction, probably as early as the third or fourth grade! I used to cut out pictures from monster magazines and comics, tape them inside a notebook, and then create fictional stories around the pictures. My parents, though mildly concerned about my interest in darker material, always encouraged my writing, and their bookshelves were filled with works like The Exorcist, Pet Sematary, and countless mystery and thriller novels. Throughout high school and college, I continued to write and began to develop an interest in combining different aspects of the arts (poetry, fiction, film, photography) into a single work that tells a cohesive story. My interest in multimedia led to the writing of my novel.

What is your preferred genre?

My preferred genre is literary horror, especially anything that unites different types of media to tell a story.

How many books have you written?  If more than one, are any a series…or trilogy?

The Girls of October is my first novel, but my previous book, Cabin 28: The Keddie Murders, told the true story of an unsolved quadruple homicide that took place in Northern California in 1981.

Tell us a little about your book.

The book is called The Girls of October, released by Burning Bulb Publishing this past April. The novel was born from my love of the horror films I grew up with, including Halloween, Friday the 13th, and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. But I didn’t want to write a slasher, “blood and guts” book. Though there are many gruesome scenes and plenty of chills, The Girls of October is an academic work masquerading as a horror novel. It features essays, research papers, short stories, news articles, letters, 911 calls, police reports, psychiatric interviews, and an entire dissertation on John Carpenter’s Halloween—all to tell the fictional story of a film student who believes a supernatural entity has been stalking her since she was a child. It combines my love of academia with my love of horror to tell a story that hopefully readers will enjoy!

Do you have plans for a new book?

My next novel is called The Devil and My Daughter, and it’s a collection of essays, articles, interviews, press kits, scripts, and oral histories that work collectively to tell the story of a group of young filmmakers trying to make a demonic possession movie.


Do you plot or write by the seat of your pants?

I always plot, but I allow myself the freedom to deviate from that outline when necessary.

Did you have an editor edit your books?

As an English teacher for over 18 years, I feel comfortable with my own editing skills, but it’s always important to have fresh eyes tackle your work. For The Girls of October, I worked exhaustively on editing and proofreading the book before finding a publisher for it. Then the publisher and I worked together to perfect any remaining issues.

Are you a self- published (Indie) Author?

No, though I am drawn to the small presses. Cabin 28: The Keddie Murders was published by Adelmore Books, and I believe it was their first non-fiction, “true crime” publication. The Girls of October found a supportive home with Burning Bulb Press, who has an impressive roster of authors, including Gary Vincent, John Russo, and David Fairhead.

What book are you currently reading and in what format (ebook/paperback/hardcover)?

Lately I’ve discovered an interest in cryptozoology, so I’m currently reading paperback versions of Lyle Blackburn’s The Beast of Boggy Creek and Linda Godfrey’s American Monsters.

Who designed the cover of your book?

The cover was designed by my publisher, Burning Bulb Press.

Do you find yourself intrigued by the cover of a book enough to buy it? 

Absolutely. When I discovered Mar Danielewski’s House of Leaves, it was purely by accident. I happened to be wandering through the bookstore and the colorful spine caught my eye. When browsing books online, I think the cover is even more important and should really grab the reader’s attention in some way.

Your thoughts on receiving book reviews - the good and the bad - 

Reviews are always a good thing, whether they are positive or negative. I think all a writer can ask for is an honest review. So if you love the book, tell the audience why you loved it; and if you didn’t like it, be clear as to what put you off.

List 3 of your favorite movies?

Well, The Girls of October makes it pretty clear that John Carpenter’s Halloween is in my top three. I also adore William Friedkin’s The Exorcist and David Fincher’s Zodiac.

What is a movie or TV show that you watched just recently and really enjoyed?

As a horror writer, I’m delighted by the recent uprising of horror/thriller television, including The Walking Dead, Hannibal, True Detective, and The Bates Motel.

Where can your readers stalk you?

My books can be found on Amazon and Goodreads, and readers can explore the world of The Girls of October at thegirlsofoctober.tumblr.com.


Is your book in Print, ebook or both?

The Girls of October is in print softcover, at around 290 pages or so. There is also an e-book version available, but because of the epistolary nature of the novel, I think the print version is much more user-friendly.

Author Interview – Patricia Daly-Lipe, author of A CRUEL CALM, Paris Between the Wars


Book Description from Amazon: "Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all -well, yes and no. Read A CRUEL CALM's view of this age old dilemma." ~ Rita Mae Brown, author of eleven novels and two time Emmy Award nominee.
A CRUEL CALM, Paris Between the Wars, is a moving love story set in the era between World Wars I and II, a time of idealism and innovation when Paris was the cultural capital of the Western World. Politics, religion and social mores determine the fate of Elisabeth, a young Catholic socialite from Washington, D.C., as she learns whether it is only after great sorrow that love can come again. 
A CRUEL CALM brings Paris society and culture alive as Elisabeth experiences the aftermath of the first world war while mingling with writers, artists and socialites such as Gertrude Stein, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Coco Chanel, Joseph Campbell and Ernest Hemingway. With the omen of a new world war brewing, this is a story replete with historical detail, universal conflict, and forbidden love.


What inspired you to start writing, and when? Inspiration is an excellent term for it connotes writing coming from within (as from the heart). My writing has always been creative and inspired, from childhood through school and college and beyond by who and what is around me. After college, I wrote for newspapers and magazines. It was after I had “inspired” students in a creative writing course in Annapolis that I was advised by Richard Lederer to convert the course into a book. Hence my book ‘MYTH, MAGIC and METAPHOR, A Journey into the Heart of Creativity’ was published. Since then, all my books have come as a result of someone or something calling for my experiences to be put into print.
What is your preferred genre? All my books are a different genre, but A CRUEL CALM is historical fiction. That allowed the facts to come together in a story that could not be verified completely but allowed a view of the past from a personal perspective.
How many books have you written?  If more than one, are any a series…or trilogy? I have written eight books which includes one which I revised with additional material. They are all of a different genre.
Tell us a little about your book. This is the story of my mother’s life. She died when I was only 18 and did not tell me about her life before I was born. I spent 14 years researching. My second language is French, so I was able to interview people in Paris who knew either my mother or the era, 1927-1939, during which she resided in Paris. I also was able to interview a gentleman who had worked on the Spirit of St. Louis in San Diego. He gave me information about the famous flight of Charles Lindbergh. My mother was at le Bourget Aeroport when he landed.  I read James Joyce so that when he spoke to the protagonist (aka my mother), he was speaking in his own voice. Other writers and artists also speak in their own voice as a result of my research.
Do you have plans for a new book? Having just completed two books in the past two years, I am taking a bit of time out.  A CRUEL CALM is being developed into a feature by LITTLE STUDIO FILMS. I also have presentations coming up for which I need to prepare, especially one (about my book PATRIOT PRIEST) which I shall be giving just prior to Pope Francis’ arrival at Catholic University in Washington, DC.
Is there an Author that you would really like to meet? James Joyce! 


Was there an Author that inspired your writing? In my book MYTH, MAGIC and METAPHOR, I give many examples of different modes of writing. But the bottom line is listen to your heart. Do not listen to others or try to copy another author. Everyone is unique. Everyone has his or her own voice. 


Do you plot or write by the seat of your pants? I think about my writing, my individual project, then, based upon the genre, I plunge into whatever aspects the writing requires. Some can be from “the seat of my pants.” Others require research.


Did you have an editor edit your books? I have had editors read and recommend changes, but not for all my books. The La Jolla book (La Jolla, A Celebration of Its Past) came from articles I wrote for La Jolla Village News/ Beach and Bay Press. The publisher read the articles from a period of over two years and asked if these articles could be made into a book. It took a year to condense the articles since my articles comprised over 500 pages and the publisher only wanted 200 pages including photographs. So yes, there is more to be published about La Jolla.
Do you prefer ebooks, paperbacks or hardcover? Paperbacks…I like turning the page and paperback books are less expensive. But for a cherished book, I always buy hard cover.
Where do you prefer to buy your books? Often my books come from Amazon.com, but I love roaming bookstores, especially stores where used books are also available.
Are you a self- published (Indie) Author? Two of my books were self published: ‘ALL ALONE, Washington to Rome’ and ‘Messages from Nature’. The latter is a collection of short stories published in various magazines over the years. A CRUEL CALM just got republished by ROCK IT PRESS.
What books would you like to read again? The work of Dostoyevsky, Phyllis Whitney, Toni Morrison,… oh my, in my library, I am surrounded with classics and never tire of rereading them!   
Is there a particular movie that you preferred over the book version? Green Mansions
What book are you currently reading and in what format (ebook/paperback/hardcover)? Hardcover: ‘OLGA RUDGE & EZRA POUND by Anne Conover
Who designed the cover of your book? Me! With the help of my husband who took the photo from what we believe was my mother’s apartment on the Île St. Louis. Quite a story there, but save for another time.
Do you find yourself intrigued by the cover of a book enough to buy it?  no
Do you have any advice for other writers starting out? Feel a passion for your subject and write. Do not share with anyone; finish it completely; then put it away for a few days before you reread it and have some objectivity. Finally, make changes you feel needed ---all this before you hand over your work to an editor.
Do you write under a pen name? no
Do you ever write in your PJ’s? no
What are your pet peeves? Noise, especially my dogs barking and asking that I check the front door and then find no one there!


You are trapped on a tropical island - who would you like to be stranded with? My husband!


Pick one - Wine, Chocolate or shoes? Wine


Cats or dogs? dogs


Tell us about someone or something that just made your day – Having Alexia Melocchi of LITTLE STUDIO FILMS call and ask if I would like to have my book made into movie!
What is your favorite food and beverage? The real Caesar salad (with anchovies) and  chai tea latte
How many hours per day do you try to devote to research and writing? Varies from all day to a couple of hours
What are 3 things you never leave home without (apart from keys, money and phone)? Proper attire, credit card, and pen
Sleep in or get up early? 8 AM  (could be considered early?)
Laptop or desktop for writing? desktop
Your favorite gadget? Remote control for the garage door
Where and when do you prefer to do your writing? In my library at home and in the morning (after I take care of my horses)
Your thoughts on receiving book reviews - the good and the bad -  They either confirm a job well done or give me incentive to improve unless, as in some cases, the reader did not understand the content.
Do you have a bucket list? My bucket is overflowing with wishes but the way the world is these days, most are on hold!
One of your favorite quotes – Inspiration is more important than knowledge. Albert Einstein
List 3 of your favorite movies? The Wizard of Oz, ET, The Sound of Music
What is a movie or TV show that you watched just recently and really enjoyed? Madame Secretary

Gregory Hines - writer and director of MOD-X, a short sci-film set in a post-apocalyptic Earth.



IN 2099, EARTH IS IN A GLOBAL REBELLION LEAD BY THE HACKTIVIST DEACON AGAINST THE RULING CLASS KNOWN AS SANCTION. LEAD BY THE COMMANDER, THEY ENSLAVED MAN TO EXTRACT EARTH’S REMAINING RESOURCES TO FUEL THEIR INTERSTELLAR SHIP TO THE NEW FOUND PLANET MOD-X. IN ATTEMPTS TO END THE REBELLION, THE COMMANDER HAS SENT IN THE INFAMOUS BOUNTY HUNTER VION TO DESTROY DEACON BEFORE HE TAKES OVER THE INTERSTELLAR MAINFRAME COMPUTERS...

Can you tell us about you and your film?
My name is Gregory Hines and I am the writer and director of MOD-X, a short sci-film set in a post-apocalyptic Earth.

A bounty hunter is sent in to stop a rebel leader from hacking into the interstellar ship’s mainframe computers.

I was intending to write a post-apocalyptic film with a friend but unfortunately our schedules couldn’t line up. However, using our our idea of a bounty hunter tracking down a criminal as a platform I wrote MOD-X. I had this notion that the elite class of Earth had temporarily escaped the toxic and dying planet in an interstellar ship where they plan to escape to a new found planet called MOD-X. Meanwhile, the rest of man is left to toil in slave labor to help fuel and build their ship. I liked the notion of an extreme divide between classes which helped spur the idea of a rebellion.

What inspirations and techniques did you draw from in the filming of MOD-X?
To create the imagery for MOD-X I looked to films such as The Book of Eli, Star Wars, Saving Private Ryan to Mad Max (original). I also pulled inspiration from the filmmaking methods of Christopher Nolan, Stanley Kubrick, The Wachowski and Cohen Brothers to M. Knight Shyamalan. I was careful in developing my cinematography techniques as over 90% of the film was shot handheld and I wanted smooth shots yet movement that produced tension. The other aspect was planning the Visual Effects (VFX) shots. Seeing a completed shot (mentally) when there is nothing in front of you is very difficult. Additionally, the technique of framing the shot and directing the actors as if they were in a world not yet created requires a lot of pre-design and prep.

How many hours per day do you try to devote to research and writing?
During the writing process, I try to put in at least an hour a day of research and writing. However, I find that I devote about 4+ hours a day given that I have the time. Currently, I am in the process of developing my first feature script with my friend and colleague Jeff Woodruff. We make it a point to come together once a week for 1-2 hours meetings where we talk about our ideas, research and anything that we have written in the past week. This ensures that progress is always moving forward and we stay on track.

Do you plot or write by the seat of your pants?
I have done both, however, the current process of writing our new film we are plotting out an outline. I really enjoy this method as we don’t get so committed to ideas that we spent hours writing about. In an outline we move faster, freely juggle ideas around and find that overall it is a more pleasing way to write.

Do you have any advice for other writers starting out?
Regardless of what genre you write in, I always say write what you love. In the end you will be happier, and end up with a better product.

One of your favorite quotes –
“Carpe Diem” …“Seize the Day”
Horace (23 BC)
