Hunter S Jones Interview
I recently had the opportunity to connect with author Hunger S Jones and ask her a couple of questions. Her new book, September Ends is coming out October 1, 2013.
What made you decide to write?
There was never a decision. It has always been there. Some people sing, some dance, some act. I play with words. You can take only 26 letters in the English language and arrange them into a novel. It fascinates me. I hid in it, in them.
Poetry appears to play an important role in your upcoming book. What poets inspired you to include this aspect in your writing?
The poet who is my collaborator was the biggest influence on September Ends. However, I'm from Tennessee where everybody tells their stories in a song. Poetry is the music of words, without the guitar. With all that being said, my biggest inspiration, poetically has always been Elizabeth Barrett Browning. What a love story she wrote, then she actually lived it. What a truly exquisite story.
With today's instant communication society of email, Twitter, and Facebook, why have your prose for September Ends written in letters, diary entries, and poems?
The format for September Ends is different. You will have to read it. It encapsulates our digi-drama.
What other art forms are you active in?
Nothing. I can't sing, can't act, act play guitar and I can't draw. Words. My entire life has been words. I've got a lot to say.
What are you currently reading now?
My edits and promos for September Ends are all consuming at this pre-publication point. Although, I am looking forward to reading Steven W. Kohlhagen's Civil War era historical mystery "Where They Bury You". It appears to be a fascinating read and something different.
If your intrigued, below you'll find the blurb for the book and make sure to look for it Amazon.
Overweight and dull. That’s how I felt.
My grandfather and brother died. I hid inside a black cave deep in my soul, numbed for a decade on meds, booze, and bad love, married to my glorious career.
My name is Liz Snow, from Atlanta, Georgia, and this is my story.
One hot summer I fell hopelessly in love with successful attorney, Peter William Hendrix III, from Chattanooga, Tennessee. We bonded because of Shelley and Keats. Pete introduced me to the works of modern English poet, Jack O. Savage, It was like The Poet was drawing us together through his blogs and poems, like he had a message for my life and my love with Pete Hendrix.
I lived it in my heart and soul.
It all went tragically wrong once I learned Pete’s secret.
As September ends I jet to London, England. Pete Hendrix betrayed me big time. There was no time for my revenge. With an unstable mind, and a broken heart – my life was a kaleidoscope of stabbing shards of pain.
London ignored me. Maybe I didn’t exist. I was lost and lonely in a flat in Kensington.
I hear that Jack O. Savage will make a rare public appearance. I wrangle an invitation to the art gallery where he is reading. I was curious. In some ways, he was the cause of my trouble.
It turned out my fallen rock-star-with-words was even more damaged than I.
Jack O.Savage, The Poet became my friend.
Then, an unexpected kiss at a county fair on a perfect English summer’s day changed everything forever. Jack the man became my lover.
Magic.
My elusive dream of a lifelong love began.
If Pete was what I’d always wanted, Jack was what I always needed.
The mystery unraveled as the kaleidoscope of my broken life evolved and I found myself living a rainbow of perfect bliss.
Sometimes when you believe it’s the end, it’s only the beginning.
September Ends is a contemporary romance with erotic and supernatural elements. It reveals the intricate web of passion and desire which ensnares Liz Snow, Pete Hendrix and Jack O. Savage. The story is told through Liz Snow’s diary, Jack O. Savage’s poetry, and from letters sent across the Atlantic. Traveling throughout the lushness of a summertime in Tennessee and Georgia, September Ends journeys into the elegance of London’s West End and is finally settled in the countryside of Cornwall, England, a decade later.
September Ends is the story of sin, redemption and salvation through love, because love happens when we least expect it.
