From Fandom Fest

I dressed as David Inman from Nikolai (although I am built nothing like the character) because we were doing the Eight Thrones LARP. And I couldn't pass up the green-screen shots. The axe was the most David-ish of the weapons to hand.

From erastes

1) Answer the 10 questions below.

2) Spread the fun and tag 5 more awesome people to participate.

1. What is the title of your book / WIP?

Barbarossa's Bitch

2. Where did the idea of the book come from?

Adam Lambert at Sydney Mardi Gras and a viewing of Road Warrior.

3. What genre would your book fall under?

Gay post-apocalyptic fiction

4. Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?

Kane (aka Dylan Taggart) is Aaron Stanford in my head. The slightly scruffy Birkhoff from "Nikita" instead of the fresh-faced psychopath from X-Men.
Barbarossa is Adam Lambert, blue eyes, black hair and all.
Fr. Douglas White, (OFM) would be Tommy Flanagan
Bokassa, the war-leader, looks a lot like Wilt Chamberlain.
Ryder, our baby faced psycho is Matthias, a model
Redmond looks frighteningly like Danny Kaye
That's about all I've managed to mentally cast.

5. What is the one sentence synopsis of your book?

Post-apocalyptic biker gang faces the end of their usefulness and must adapt

6. Is your book published or represented?

It's contracted and will be out in January from Storm Moon Press.


7. How long did it take you to write it?

been poking at it for a couple years, just settled in for the last 15K push.


8. What other books in your genre would you compare it to?

Not books so much as a Sons of Anarchy meets Road Warrior and do the Huckleberry Finn/Slipstream episodic thing.


9. Which authors inspired you to write this book?

Again, this is more movie based. The non-linear structure can be blamed on Boondock Saints. The pack is borrowed from Road Warrior and the Settlements from Slipstream. And of course, the Stand.

10. Tell us anything else that might pique our interest in your book.

Uzi-toting hippies. Christopagans. Lesbian Amazons.
And post-apocalyptic ice cream!
