Author Interview with YA and horror author Marlena Frank
I’m thrilled to share that I’ve been featured in De Mode Magazine of Literature’s “11 books to add to your reading list this winter” feature in their Oct/Nov/Dec issue!
I was so honored to have them reach out to me a while back and they’ve been wonderful to work with. I’m so glad that The Impostor collection caught their eye and made them want to include it. They gave me a very in-depth interview and it was definitely a awesome, new experience working with a magazine.

This Thursday at 6 PM EST I’ll be interviewed by Beth Worsdell, who runs the Writers Rock interview series. She’s also a fellow author in an upcoming anthology titled Link by Link, due out from Filles Vertes Publishing December 1st of this year.
If you missed the reading I did from Broken last week as part of it being the Book of the Month for the Atlanta Chapter of the Horror Writers Association, you can find the full recording here:
Finally, I’m pleased to announce that The Seeking is available to Pre-Order! Pick up your copy today because it’ll be a fantastic read for this Halloween.
Remember me mentioning how bad I was about sharing interviews here? Especially around a book release? It’s such a busy time that sometimes posts fall through the cracks. I’ll share hen on social media, but sometimes I forget to post them here.
Well here’s another poor interview that I forgot to post. This one is with fellow Parliament House sister, Heather Kindt. (Her book, The Weaver, comes out soon!) I talk about what inspired me to write Stolen and even mention some of the earliest original works I’ve ever written. (You’ll be surprised!)
I also discuss my journey on becoming an author, from my fan fiction days, to focusing on my computer science degree, and finally getting back into writing again. Every person’s journey to finding their craft is different, and these days there are so many potential paths to take too.
I hope you enjoy it!
So I apologize folks, but I am terrible at remembering to share interviews I’ve done on here. I share them around like crazy on social media, just because it’s easier to to do, but when it comes down to posting them on my blog, I just forget. It’s one of those bad habits I’ve noticed since my debut novel, Stolen, came out in January, and it’s something I hope to tackle as I continue doing interviews down the road.
The researcher in me thinks there has to be a pattern, because I see other authors struggle with this too, especially as interviews get done around release dates. When you have a book coming out, not only are you prepping for your own release party, but you’re also working on book tours and putting together materials for those. Interviews for some reason just get forgotten after the initial social media push.
So in trying to make up for that lapse, here’s an interview I did back in March for The Horror Tree. Now if you’re a horror author looking for publishers to submit to, this site is indispensable. They’re a free site, and they post up information that is often more detailed than what’s on Duotrope. For short story horror writers, it’s a gem.
So you can imagine my excitement when I was asked to do an interview for them! This is one of the most comprehensive interviews I’ve done about not just Stolen and The She-Wolf of Kanta, but also for Night Feeders. Check out the link below!
