With her permission then, I would like to present the latest of our authors to go under the spotlight.....William Bove!!!!!!

(That was your cue for spontaneous applause....no? Nothing? I don't know why I bother some days...mutter, mutter, mutter)

Anyway, first here's a little introduction to this awesome Author who is another thoroughly nice chap and always very pleasant and well spoken whenever I see him in our Author Chat on Facebook:-

                                                  ***

William Bove lives in St.Charles, Missouri and was first published by the now defunct VampLit Publishing which is no longer in

existence. From there,William then went on to have several publications in Visionary Press and can currently be found in two forthcoming anthologies; One from Scartlet River Press called "Tortured Souls Vol 2 and another called Lycanthroship published through JEA.

Also from JEA, we can expect to see the first novella in the "Once Upon A Grave" trilogy soon of which I have heard very good things indeed! 

Now for the questions...

What is Once Upon A Grave about both on the surface and down deep? On the surface it is a horror novella about a group of vampires trying to survive during the great depression. Down deep it is about our connection to life and death and how that connection can change us. Also about all that is primal within us and the need to be strong and to survive by carving our own path.
