Today I am interviewing Selena Kitt who has three Christmas stories which contain elements of erotic horror and suspense releasing this December.

Kiki: I read a lot of holiday stories, kind-of a junkie. And, I love it when genres I usually read like paranormal and suspense are included in them. How easy is it for you to mix the genres of suspense and horror with a holidays-themed story? Can you tell us what inspired these stories?
Selena: Suspense and horror are great at Christmas, because it makes such a wonderful juxtaposition. Take one warm fuzzy time of year, add something awful, resolve that element, and everyone lives happily ever after. (Well, sometimes…) What could be better? I’m a grumpy Scrooge on the surface with a big heart underneath, so really, it’s not hard to put that paradox into the work!
Kiki: I was going to ask you something like what Christmas means to you, but I thought maybe a word-association game would be more fun, and possibly more revealing :) So, write a word or phrase that comes to your mind after each.
Coming Dec 10th |
Selena:
Decorating the House – tangled Christmas lights
Christmas Shopping – Amazon.com
Wrapping Presents – paper cuts
Cookies - fattening
Egg Nog – even more fattening!
Mrs. Claus – The Year Without a Santa Claus
Snowmen – Brrr!
Kiki: Okay, back to Christmas stories again. Do you read them? And if so, do you have a favorite one you could recommend?
Selena: My favorite Christmas story is The Gift of the Magi. I read it to the kids every year.
Kiki: What about Holiday movies or Christmas TV specials? Are there ones it just does not feel like Christmas if you miss them?
Coming Dec 17th |
Selena: It’s a Wonderful Life is my all time favorite.
Kiki: Do you have a special holiday tradition? What about a special Christmas recipe you make every year?
Selena: We make sugar cookies every year – the kind you roll and cut. Then we frost and decorate them. The kids love it, and I used to do it with my mom, so it’s a tradition passed on.
Kiki: Last, I hear you have another great giveaway going on. Please share the details!
