Interview with Author Jerome Mark Antil
As a
writer, what would you choose as your mascot/avatar/spirit animal?
I feed birds…in front of my studio.
How
many hours a day do you put into your writing?
7 hours daily -7 days a week.
Do
you read your book reviews? If yes, do they affect what you write in the
future?
Yes and yes, I do learn from some if I can
tell they read the book.
Do
you leave hidden messages in your books that only a few people will find?
No, other than using friend’s names as
characters.
Can you tell us a little bit about the characters in Mamma’s Moon?
Gabe, an aging romantic, retired
army captain - a black man – who loves
to jazz dance. Sasha and Lily Cup – two of the most successful women in New
Orleans – about 38-39 – who ‘slut up’ a few nights a month in their Chanel’s
and go jazz dancing at a dive club on Frenchman’s Street. Peck, the Cajun
French Forrest Gump and Millie, his love.
Can you tell us a little bit about your next books or what you have
planned for the future?
I’m writing a trilogy – retelling stories
about growing up in the shadows of WWII.
Do you allow yourself a certain number of hours to write or do you
write as long as the words come?
I write seven hours a day – typically a couple
thousand words a day.
What inspires you to write?
Telling stories – people can read after I die and
can’t tell them.
Would you rather
Read fiction or
non-fiction?
Non
Read series or
stand-alone?
Hmmm. Either.
Read Science fiction
or horror?
Fiction
Read Stephen King or Dean
Koontz
Steinbeck – but I’ve been compared to King – so King.
Read the book or
watch the movie?
Movie and then book.
Read an ebook or
paperback?
Either
Be trapped alone for
one month in a library with no computer or a room with a computer and Wi-Fi
only?
Computer and wifi – then I have my library too.
Do a cross-country
book store tour or blog tour online?
I am now.
