Author Margaret Millmore is here today. We’re
chatting about her latest book, a supernatural thriller titled, What Haunts Me (Ghost Killer – Book 1).
Welcome, Margaret. Please tell us a
little bit about yourself.
I’m a native Californian and
currently live in San Francisco with my husband and two cats. I’m the author of
six books (two novels, one 3 book series, and book one of a new series):
Doppelganger Experiment (World Castle Publishing, September 2011; republished
via Amazon Digital, January 2014), The Four Series – Book I, II and III (World
Castle Publishing 2012/13, republished via Amazon Digital Services, Inc.
October 2015), The Dragonfly Door (Amazon Digital Services, Inc. October 2013),
and What Haunts Me (Ghost Killer – Book 1) (Amazon Digital Services, Inc.,
November 2014 and Creativia Publishing, December 2015).
Please tell us about your current release, What Haunts Me.
The
ghosts that wander among the living do not haunt in the traditional sense;
instead, they plague the innocent with disease, deformity and addiction. And
once a ghost finds its victim, it will haunt them for a lifetime... or kill
them quickly.
After George gets ill, the dreams begin. Suppressed memories are
triggered, allowing him to see ghosts, and a deeply buried instinct emerges.
George finds out he can kill these monsters, and heal their victims. The
ability to save lives is something George cannot ignore, but it soon becomes an
obsession and begins to eat away at his sanity.
His quest for understanding leads him to new friends and allies, and
exposes him to enemies he could have never imagined. In the end, can you really
ever kill something that’s already dead?
What inspired you to write this book?
My husband had a strange
dream and told me about it, initially I thought it was interesting and filed it
away for later review (I was working on another novel at the time and it was
all consuming). However, as the months went by, the dream never left my
subconscious and before I knew it was happening a story had unfolded the What
Haunts Me series was born.
What exciting story are you working on next?
I’m currently working
on book 2 in the series, expected release is summer 2016
When did you first consider yourself a writer?
I think it was after my 2nd
book was published, it felt real at that point (and I’ve published 4 more since
then)
Do you write full-time? If so, what's your work day
like? If not, what do you do other than write and how do you find time to
write?
I am very fortunate that
I’m able to write full time. I usually get up around 5:30 a.m. and handle
emails and such, then write for 4-8 hours, if there’s time left in the day, I
work on promotional matters.
What would you say is your interesting writing quirk?
I like quiet while I
write, but when writer’s block hits, I crank up the Motown music, it seems to
open the mind and release the blockage.
As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I wanted to be an interior
designer, but life has a way of changing things and I ended up in the
commercial real estate field for almost twenty years.
