Hunter S. Jones - The Next Big Thing
Let’s start off today’s by giving a big shout out to Lucy Pireel for nominating me as
The Next Big Thing and for inviting me to this blog hop. Thank you so much! This
is my virgin experience at blog hopping and I am enjoying myself immensely-probably
enjoying myself a bit too much, as usual, but that’s okay. It’s very flattering
to have one’s work recognized by your peers.
My name is Hunter S. Jones, author of Fables
of the Reconstruction, my debut novella. It is an historical fiction
concept of zombies based on the Creole and Haitian voodoo stories. It sheds a
whole new light on the zombie topic, so I have been told by the aforementioned
Ms. Pireel in her fabulous review of Fables of the Reconstruction on
Amazon.com.
Hercules Publishing calls Fables of the Reconstruction
“A New Genre” which is the greatest compliment a writer could or would ever
wish to receive. The iconic musician, Gerg Anidem, on his Empower Radio
Show, endorsed Fables by saying the book is “Erotic. Exotic. Hypnotic!” How cool is that?
Here’s a bit about me. I have always been a writer,
mainly covering indie rock bands, fashion and a few historical and artistic features
along the way. I do not know why I write, it is just an intrinsic part of my
nature. Sharing the sensation and the experiences of my life are rewarding. Incredible
imagination – you bet! I currently live in Atlanta, Georgia but my formative
years were spent mainly in Nashville, Tennessee. Many things could be revealed
about me and my life. However, nothing you will ever learn about me is as
interesting as the art form I create. It is wonderful that you want to learn
more about my life and my writing. The fact that you are reading this blog promoting
me as The Next Big Thing is thrilling.
Now, I want to take this opportunity to introduce some of
my favorite authors. You may already know some of them and others may be new to
you. Either way, it is definitely worth your time to take a look at their latest
work:
Steve
Christie, author of Good
Deed, a great Scottish crime novel. This is Steve’s first novel and you
will be impressed by how well it is written.
Laura
DeLuca, with whom I share a delicious secret, is your next
need-to-know author. We can let you know more about our secret in the next few
weeks. She just released a book this week, and it is named Morrigan.
GL
Giles, co-author of Unputdownable
Tales of Terror.
E.
R. Pierce has a fun series you’ll want to read, Eating
Out. This is one hot lunch.
Author
Nicole Hill. Have a look at Legacy
Forgotten (The Avalon Legacies)
Have a look at their latest work, purchase and also check
out their blogs next week.
Now,
let’s get on with it and talk about my debut novella and my own ‘little
monsters’ as I lovingly call them.
What is the title of your book?
Fables
of the Reconstruction. You can find it only on Amazon.com and only in ebook
format. Buy it today and make me happy.
Where did the idea come from for the book?
Fables
of the Reconstruction is based on a series of dreams. I wrote this book while I
was under an intense amount of physical pain following Achilles tendon surgery.
Whether you like the book or not will depend upon your personal taste and I
accept that. For me, this little book has given me a creative outlet to place
all the pain and fears I experienced during and after surgery. Creative writing
kept me from the depression that generally haunts everyone who has to undergo
Achilles reattachment. I hope you enjoy reading Fables of the Reconstruction
half as much as I enjoyed the experience of creating it.
What genre does your book fall under?
Paranormal,
Erotic Fiction. I chose to call it Rock Romance. Maybe
you could call it Historical Romance, Alternate History, Dark Fantasy or
Horror. You can decide once you read it.
Which actors would you choose to play your characters in
a movie rendition?
Pierre
von Minzle is definitely Jack White. If Jack isn’t available, then I will consider
Johnny Depp. I can imagine Charlize Theron playing Mary Montague. As for Polly
Poppet, I believe Dita von Teese would be fantastic. George Wilson of the
Buffalo Bills would be perfect as Jean Paul Rouselle or Waka Flocka could play
him, too. They’re both in Atlanta, so maybe I’ll mention it to them. I’ll let
you know what they say.
What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?
Fables
of the Reconstruction is the story of a Belgian pimp in Victorian London who
has a ‘magic’ powder and claims to be undead.
Will your book be self-published or represented by an
agency?
I
currently self-publish.
How long did it take you to write the first draft of your
manuscript?
The
completed first draft of Fables of the Reconstruction took about six weeks. The
ideas and the concept presented themselves easily enough however, the
historical and supernatural content took substantial research.
What other books would you compare this story to within
your genre?
I
really don’t have an answer to this question.
Who inspired you to write this book?
I
had repeating dreams about the main character. I came to realize that his story
needed to be told.
What else about your book might pique the reader's
interest?

This review is from: Fables of the Reconstruction (Kindle Edition)
Fables of the Reconstruction is an original and fascinating tale told from several perspectives, taking place during the time of Jack the Ripper. Author Hunter Jones offers an alternate recipe for turning the alive to the undead, in this extremely erotic nove
lla. This is certainly a book intended for adults, but the writing is solid and intelligent, and the story interesting, particularly within the context of Whitechapel and the era represented. I recommend Fables for any fan of zombie fiction, historical romance, erotica, and just plain fun(adult)reading!
Musician Gerg Anidem of UNIR1 Empower Radio says Fables of the Reconstruction is "Erotic, Exotic and Hypnotic!"
It's called "Original"-"Psychedelic"-"Racy"
Buy it now - only on Amazon.com!
Sorry for the white background - I did a cut & paste from the original email. This appears to be how it translates to Blogger. Enjoy~
