Author Interview: Adam Howe
Today, I am lucky to do a Q & A with Adam Howe, author of Black Cat Mojo . If you haven't read my review yet, go here: The Dark Reviews . Tell us about the book: 1) What was your inspiration for Black Cat Mojo ? Check out the story notes at the end of the book for the long version. Short version? ‘Weird news’ and ‘dumb crime’ articles. I started writing these goofy crime/horror stories and something seemed to click. 2) What made you combine these novelettes into a single book? The stories have an animal theme, and are unified by noir-ish characters, doomed by their pasts and their own bad decisions. But for purely mercenary reasons, I required a certain word count for a print version of the book, and I wanted that print version on my shelf! 3) Where did titles like, Jesus in a Dog’s Ass come from? There’s a popular slogan for a UK paint brand. ‘Does exactly what it says it on the tin.’ I was writing about a dog’s ass. There was no prettying that up.
