ANGELIQUE: First things first, why do you like me better than Eric Butler? LATHAM: Well you were able to put up with my drunk ass at AuthorCon so that gives you an advantage over him. However, he did let me go to his house and play with his dogs so I'm not sure I do like you better. ANGELIQUE: What's your biggest compulsion? LATHAM: My biggest compulsion is making other people happy. It's kind of my toxic trait too because I never think of myself. lol ANGELIQUE: If you had to die of some horrible infectious disease, but you were able to pick which one, what would you choose and why? LATHAM: Hmmm, I'll have to go with leprosy. The reason I would choose that is because I think it's a pretty cool way to die, I mean body parts falling off?? Hell yeah! Imagine how many people I could freak out just by dropping pieces of myself all over the place! ANGELIQUE: What are you looking forward to, writing-wise, the most next year? LATHAM: I'm looking forward to getting our book finished, as well as finally getting my book Demon Diary done. ANGELIQUE: What one book do you wish you had written? LATHAM: I would have to say The Necronomicon. I would have so much power and be able to get whatever I want. Or die a horribly painful death, either works. ANGELIQUE: What's on your Christmas wish list? LATHAM: A lot of books and a raised covered garden bed so I can try and grow veggies again next summer. I'm lame what can I say. ANGELIQUE: My wife wants to know if you're team Edward or team Jacob? LATHAM: Honestly neither, but if I HAVE to choose I would say team Jacob. Edward is such a pansy with his damn sparkles and teenage angst, and he's not even a teenager!

ANGELIQUE: Tell me about your newest release Beldam of Oz... KELVIN: It’s a prequel to the original Wizard of Oz story, but told my own way and coming at it from a completely unusual angle. Its full of gore, but also heartache and true horror. It hurt to write but I think its my best work yet ANGELIQUE: What makes you an irritating cunt? KELVIN: Honesty. People really don’t seem to expect it or know how to handle it. I am not one of these to tow the line and tell someone they are amazing because they are the current big name or similar. But I will continue to be me. ANGELIQUE: Give me your best dad joke... KELVIN: I have an apparently irrational fear of escalators. Its so bad that I have to take steps to avoid them… ANGELIQUE: What's your most prized scene that you've written so far? KELVIN: Possibly the last scene in Beldam of Oz ANGELIQUE: What's the best part about being an author? KELVIN: Getting feedback from people who have tapped into the worlds that I have created. I’m not about the money. In truth I consider myself more of a storyteller than an author. ANGELIQUE: You can sit down with any author alive or dead and have a conversation, who would it be and what would you ask them? KELVIN: I would speak to Bruce King, the author of one of my all-time fave horror novels Demon Shield and ask him why he only ever wrote one horror novel. ANGELIQUE: What's the dumbest thing you've ever done? KELVIN: Oh God, the list is endless. I would probably say the dumbest thing is a mix of several. For years each morning Drama would put a vitamin next to me while I was writing and shout, “Eat it” and I would. The trouble is now whenever anyone puts stuff next to me in my peripheral vision I eat it. I’ve chowed down dice while playing d&d, tokens, and more, chewed wax melts, candles and more, plus I nearly choked on a toy car. Oh, and I also drank fragrance oil, Drama passed me to smell |
