catherineldf2008 Haunted Hearths and Sapphic Shades interview with author, editor and publisher Selina Rosen. See the Sacchi Green post for general book info.
Can you talk a bit about your inspiration for your story "The Dyke You Know"?
I took care of a friend who died of cancer in my home. She was a Cheyenne Arapaho and three of her five brothers were medicine men. One of them came to smoke the house the day after she died. He told me he'd found an evil spirit in my house--not a big bad but a little one. He lived in the wall in the hall way. He said a teenager playing at witchcraft had conjured it and he got rid of it. That's where the idea for the story came from.
Have you ever had an encounter with a ghost?
Maybe. You see things, feel them, and at the time you're sure and then later on your logical mind talks you out of them.
What's your favorite ghost story (you can pick a movie if you prefer)?
Tell Tale Heart by Edger Allen Poe. I'm sure not everyone sees that as a ghost story but I do.
What are you working on now and where can readers find out more about you?
I'm working on the sequel to "Bad Lands" titled "Bad City" with Laura J. Underwood, a stand-alone novel on my own with the working title "How I Spent the Apocalypse," I'm co-writing a time-travel book with Claudia Christian tentatively titled "Two Against Time" and of course several short stories.
