Author Crymsyn Hart Death’s Dance #booktour
Welcome to my stop on the Crymsyn Hart tour for her new book and first book with Seventh Star Press Death’s Dance. I’ve got an interview with the author to share.
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 the first book in the Deathly Encounter Series
Please tell me about yourself
Hello Jess, thank you for having me. What is there to tell about me? LOL. Well I have been writing professionally for eight years now. I have published over eighty different works. I have been married for ten years, have three crazy dogs, and a day job in insurance that keeps me busy. I read tons of stuff, have a love for all things vampire and horror. And well… I love to write.
What is something about you that no one knows?
Wow you want the deep, dark, and deadly secrets. I’m not sure I can say anything unless you want to deal with my muses. Hmm…one thing that I can share that no one really knows is that I am closeted puzzler. I love doing puzzle.
What are you reading now?
Currently I am reading, Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter. Thankfully I finished The History of Embalming. Now that was a very dry read, interesting, but put me to sleep after a few pages.
Some favourite books and authors?
Some of my favourite books are The Making of Monster by Gail Petersen. The Vampire Huntress Series by L.A. Banks. The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley.
Favourite authors that I read no matter what, Christopher Moore Nancy Kilpatrick L.J. Smith Clive Barker
What is your workspace and writing routine like?
My writing workspace is usually sitting on my couch with the dogs piled on top of me. LOL I have an office where I do my day job work, but I like to keep the day job and my writing separate. I even have two separate computers for it too. Although once a week, I gather with my friends and fellow authors at the local Starbucks and we write or procrastinate. However, my house and my office is filled with pictures of ravens, fairies, dark gargoyles, all things that are conducive to my writing style. Good thing my husband and I have many of the same likes.
Is there a genre that you haven’t written but would like to try?
I thought about writing a mystery or a crime thriller. That would be something different and interesting that I might get into. All depends on if the mood strikes me.
You worked as a psychic for many years, could you share about some of the experiences you had doing that?
I worked as a psychic for four and a half years to get me through college and did a few other gigs for my boss at the time even after I moved on. We were still friends and I was local. Well I never met any celebrities, but I was featured in the Boston Globe for being the best local psychic at the time. That was pretty neat. At times I would open the store I worked at and would walk in to the place smelling of roses when there was nothing in the store or around that should make it smell that way. Candles would spontaneously ignite at times. Things would touch me in the shop when no one was there. I’ve seen a few apparitions in my time too.
Death’s Dance features a character that is a psychic as well, how much of your own experience did you use with Kerstin?
Yes, they say write what you know so it was easy for me to make Kerstin a psychic. Well I don’t see grim reapers, but I am a medium as she is and am empath. There are several scenes in the book like when she wakes up and there are spirits all around her waiting to be heard and to mess with her. I used to get that a lot, but not much these days. I’ve never been involved in a television show. So there are some connections, but not too many. It’s the first in the Deathly Encounters series, how many books are planned? So far I have four books in the Deathly Encounters series planned out. Three are written and the fourth one I just started. Although I can see another two down the line if things work out or just shorts to fill in gaps between the books.
I’ve not read your work before so for someone like myself, what do readers have to look forward to and which book would you recommend we start with?
Reading my work all depends on what you like. I write paranormal romance, horror, fantasy, and a mixture of everything in between. Death’s Dance is my first horror novel in a long time. If you like romance I have several books I did that are my favourites.
Dragonkin Hairy & Hung Awakening the Wolf Masquerade A Conspiracy of Ravens
I have a few things coming out in the future to look forward to. I have a book I just sent in called Come & Yeti, a romance between a space yeti, Bigfoot, and two shape shifting female aliens, with Purple Sword Publications. Mind you this is supposed to be a more comical take on sci-fi and shape shifters. Death’s Revival, Deathly Encounters Book 2 will be out soon with Seventh Star Press. I have another vampire romance called Turning Ash scheduled to come out with a new imprint with Seventh Star. The second book in my Gods Trilogy, Gods & Frogs, Oh My!, is coming out soon with Purple Sword. Besides that I am constantly working and editing when the day job allows it.
Thank you again for having me. It was nice chatting with you.
