Eclectic writer: Friday Augustina Vanhoven is visiting and talking about her latest release #MFRWAuthor #supernatural suspense #research

1. Tell me about your latest release or the book you wish to feature? Genre?

The book I’d like to feature is the second book in my supernatural suspense series, Cursed. The story is set in the mythical town of Dante’s Hallow, Maine. The year is 1880. A sailor is attacked by a werewolf, becomes infected and begins attacking animals before starting in on humans. It’s up to Nick Harwood and the rest of the team to stop the threat without revealing the supernatural world to the citizens of the area.

2. Where did the idea arise?

I loved the television show Supernatural. I wanted to write something that was a salute to the show but not a copy. The wish gave birth to The Eldritch Series. Each novella releases in the fall in time for Halloween.

3. How much research was involved? Did you stay on point or be distracted by wanting to look at just one more thing?

I researched what things were like in 1880. Do trains run in the area where I placed the story? How does a cannery process fish? I also had to study herbs to find out what they do. I did a lot of research into myths and legends about the supernatural. I pretty much stayed on point with the research for this book.

4. How long did you take to write the book?

It took a little over three months to write the book.

5. Now a bit about you. How long have you been writing? What is your Sun Sign?

I’ve been writing since elementary school, short stories and poems. My first book was published in 2014. My sun sign is Cancer.

6. Do you write in a number of genres of stick to one?

I write time travel romance, paranormal romance, futuristic romance, supernatural suspense, and I’m currently working on romantic suspense.

7. Where on the internet can you be found?
