Author Interview – S. J. Krandall

Author Interview – S. J. Krandall

Hello my little demons,

It’s Sunday and here’s another blog post for you guys. This week I have another author interview for you guys, come and meet the true story inspired author; S. J. Krandall!

About S. J. Krandall

Based in New Jersey, S. J. Krandall lives with her husband, two sons and two dogs. Having worked with children for more than twenty years, she’s now a stay at home mom, using what spare time she has to enjoy her interests such as travelling, writing, art and photography.

Fun fact, today is actually her birthday, so please join me in wishing her a very happy birthday!

Fear Farm No Trespassers

Fear Farm No Trespassers is a short story collection that is based on true stories. And there’s something about true story inspired horrors that really interests me, especially after reading the reviews on Amazon! It’s going straight on my wish list!

Synopsis:

Within one year, reports of several missing people took over the media. The victims, all had ventured to parts of the deep wooded countryside never to return. Rumors, posted from local townsfolk, of what might have happened to them caught the attention of the public. Some said the undead may have taken them. Others believed that quick changes in weather patterns played part in their disappearances. A survivor, the only witness, was committed for madness as her story went uncredited. Even though some information was strange investigators, family, friends and adventure seekers all looked into them finding nothing. The lack of any evidence baffled the minds of the people involved as they continued to search for answers. Among them, a young woman so obsessed with these stories in her past that her own nightmares become a reality as she stumbles upon unspeakable horrors playing out before her very own eyes. Are they made up in her mind? Are they a dream? Or is she next? Whether real or fantasy, a story was unfolding before her and she could not stop the images that played out as she confronts who or what was responsible for these individuals grotesque fate.

Interview

Now, let’s try to understand how her mind works and where the imagination for this book came from…

Where do you get your ideas?

I get my ideas from the world around me. Nature plays a significant role and I am able to focus and create through my surroundings. I take walks and visit the country a lot, which where most of my ideas come from. 

Do you have a schedule when writing? Or do you try to fit it in when you can?

I do not have a schedule when writing. I try to fit it in when I can or when the ideas come to me. My days make it harder to follow schedule so this works for me at this time.

Are you working on anything at the moment?

I am working on my second book at the moment.  It will be part of the Fear Farm series which is a series of quick scary reads.  I am also dabbling in some short stories. 

What’s your current book about?

My current book, which was published in July, is a collection of shorter stories that all come together for one gruesome ending.  It is about missing people and the mystery that surrounds their disappearances. It is all seen through the eyes of one obsessed traveler as it retells each and every person’s horrible fate. 

Is your book based on a real person?

My book is based off of real events that have occurred to real people in real settings.  Their names and locations have been changed and embellished upon for the sake of fiction. 

Do you prefer to read the book first, or watch the movie first?

I need to read the book first and compare it to the movie version, but I am a movie buff. I love watching movies.

What do you like to do when you’re not writing?

When I am not writing I love to create in other ways.  I do photography (which can be seen on my social media accounts) and art.  I love to garden, take walks and travel.  I am also a mom to two wonderful sons and we do many things as a family.

How do you use social media as an author?

I am still learning a lot about social media use.  I can be found on twitter, Facebook and Instagram. I post a bit about myself and my work along with my photography and other fun things.  I like trying to communicate with readers and other horror fans and I love to see what others are creating in return.  I have seen such amazing talent on those sites.  

Big thanks to S. J. Krandall and opening me up to her extremely interesting book! Another happy birthday and all the best in future endeavors! (i.e. Book 2!)
