FIVE MINUTES WITH FRANCES FORSTER

Could you tell the readers a little bit about yourself?
 
Hello, I am Frances Forster a young married adult. I have loved horror and halloween ever since I was a child. I won an award back in grade school for the best story written on a field trip I didn't go on. Ever since then I have been into writing.

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

 I love to watch horror movies or play video games, especially horror games.

Other than the  horror genre, what else has been a major influence on your writing? The love of writing, I can't get enough of letting my imagine run free.

A lot of good horror movements have arisen as a direct result of the socio/political climate, considering the current state of the world where do you see horror going in the next few years?
 
 I really cannot determine that but the way the world is going "horror" will be at a higher state of scary. I believe as the world goes on the world becomes more "scary" than it was years ago.

What are the books and films that helped to define you as an author?
 
  Stephen Kings books have helped me as well as his movies.
 
Are there any reviews of your work, positive or negative that have stayed with you?

 I have many good reviews of previous work that will always be cherished. I have had some reviews that help me shape into a better author.

What aspects of writing to do you find the most difficult?

 I find myself sometimes with writers block and trying to stay focused on one story other than trying to go onto something else.

Is there one subject you would never write about as an author?
 
I am not really into life situations such as writing about personal life and having everybody to read. I also am not really into romance. I have never gotten into chick flick sorta things.

How important are names to you in your books? Do you choose the names based on liking the way it sounds or the meaning?

When writing and planning names the names just pop into my head like they're suppose to be there. For my upcoming books some of the names I got from in-laws.

What tools do you feel are must-haves for writers?      
   
A computer, binder, paper , pen and planner!

What is the best piece of advice you ever received with regards to your writing?

Never fix errors when writing a book just keep going until you have finished. Then go back and fix the errors.

Getting your worked noticed is one of the hardest things for a writer to achieve, how have you tried to approach this subject?

 Interviews, social media, word of mouth and giveaways.

What piece of your own work are you most proud of?

 All of my work is something to cherish. I believe you should cherish all of your "babies".

And are there any that you would like to forget about?

Umm, not yet!

For those who haven’t read any of your books, which of your  books do you think best represents your work and why?

Trick Or Treat, which is coming out this Halloween. I believe it shows the true meaning of what I can write and what darkness comes from my imagination.

Do you have a favorite line or passage from your work, and would you like to share it with us?

"Something is always lurking in the dark."

Can you tell us about your last book, and can you tell us about what you are working on next?

My last book is, Hell Hound. It is about a elderly lady name Mary, who loves her precious farmhouse to bits but Mary can't live forever so she casts a spell on her beloved hound dog, Spike. Which makes him lurk the farm with a itching craving of human flesh.

 I am currently working on, Trick Or Treat. It's about two brothers who love the spirit of Halloween so they decide to play a prank on a man who lived nearby. Needless to say they regret it. Now 30 years later the towns legend is coming to life and kids are vanishing one by one.
 
If you could erase one horror cliché what would be your choice?

I would erase, every girl running into the woods as an escape route.
