Tonight's author is the amazingly talented Neo Edmund. Diverse in many ways, he likes to sink his teeth into just about anything cool. From comics to novels, to feature animation, television, and film.

His newest creation is 'The Tale of Red Riding, Rise of the Alpha Huntress'  a young adult fantasy novel, and it is climbing the Amazon charts faster than Batman chasing after Catwoman. Now I know what you're thinking, 'that's not horror,' but it is thriller. Oh, and it is bad-ass too.
I'll give you the synopsis so you can see for yourself how good this book sounds. Oh and seriously, how freaking cool is this cover!


 A Tale of Red Riding, Rise of the Alpha Huntress Blurb

In this action-packed twist on the beloved Grimm Fairytale, Red Riding will not only face dangerous wolves; she will have to face the wolf within herself. Gifted with the power to transform into a werewolf, she will rise to become a legendary warrior known as the Alpha Huntress. Accompanied by bad-boy heartthrob Wolfgang Helheim, Red will lead a tribe of loyal followers armed with mystical powers of their own against a vile lunar deity, who plans to thrust Wayward Woods into eternal night.

Yeah, that's pretty cool, huh?
So what else can I tell you about this guy? Well, I COULD tell you that he's co-wrote a screenplay based on the Shayne Leighton 'Of Light of Darkness' series, due out approx 2015, and reading the synopsis of it, I can tell it's going to be amazing. It's full of vampires, elves and other fantasy...tell you what, I'll just post the full synopsis for you.

A Tale of Red Riding, Rise of the Alpha Huntress Synopsis 

When one human stands before an army of impossible obstacles, the likelihood of overcoming them in this coming-of-age modern fairytale may result in war between light and darkness.

Abandoned as an infant in Prague, naive and strong-willed Charlotte Ruzikova was raised by one of the last Vampires left alive. As a human, she knows no other home than the one nestled deep in the woods of Eastern Europe, where Witches drew spells of enchantment, Phasers threw tea parties, and Elves are the closest in kin. Charlotte has lived her life in the dark with her Guardian, content to having him to herself and revelling in his attention, until she's realizes she wants more...

Resident medical doctor and Vampire, Valek Ruzik fears the day his ward would come of age and blossom into a fine woman, and he is forced to confront his own motives as time is of the essence once his past catches up to him, and their lives become endangered...

As genocide and war threatens their secret society, the dictator in power is ready to wipe out Valek's race, but Charlotte will not allow that to happen. Fighting for the only one she's ever loved and truly believed in, she will do whatever it takes to save their love...before the sun comes up and light takes over.

Where did you grow up?

Long Beach & Huntington Beach, California. I’ve never live further than 10 miles from the ocean and that’s how I like it.  

When did you start writing?


When I was a kid, I loved writing short stories. The tales usually fell into the realm of fan fiction, following the adventures of Luke and Han, Optimus Prime and Megatron, or whatever cartoons and comics I was into at the time. In high school, I got into theater and started writing short skits. Creating my own scenes was a lot more fun than picking scenes from existing plays to perform and direct. Things took a bad turn in10th grade when I ended up with a bitter old hag of an English teacher. She said a lot of mean stuff about my writing, and it really stifled my creative spirit. It wasn’t until after high school that I started writing again. It's just something I had to do and I simply refuse to ever give up on my dreams!

Is it something that you have always wanted to do?

Yep! I’ve always wanted to write comics, books, cartoons, and TV shows for a living. I’m thrilled to say that I’ve accomplished this goal a dozen times over and things are getting better all the time. I’d also love to go into space! Can’t wait for the space tourism thing to kick in! LOL! 
  
What is your favourite genre to read, and do you have any favourite books or authors you would like to recommend?


I especially enjoy reading YA Fantasy. I’m a sucker for anything by Neil Gaiman. I just finished The Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor. Such a fantastic read. It grabbed me right out of the gate and never let go. There is another book I just love called Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. It's a gem for anybody that is a fan of 80's pop culture or dystopia Sci-fi.
 
 What about to write?

YA Fantasy Fiction! I like writing teen characters because that's the age when we're still discovering ourselves and learning about the way the world works. This being said, more and more adults are reading YA than ever before. I think this is because the books usually require a lot less reader commitment. The language is simpler. The word counts are usually shorter. The plots aren't overly complex. The pacing tends to be a lot quicker. Even still, these tales can deliver a satisfying reader experience. It feels more like watching a two-hour movie or a multi-part TV episode. |

Do you write full time? If not, what do you do?

Writing has been my full time profession for the last 2+ years. It’s an amazing way of life, but I’ve had to learn to be my own boss. As a freelance writer it’s vital to always meet deadlines.

Do you ever base your characters on anyone that you know, or are they solely from your imagination?

I usually try not to base characters on people I know. I prefer to conjure up characters from my imagination and then spend a lot of time getting to know them. I like to daydream about how it would be to spend time with each character. What would an afternoon be like with my Red Riding? How would it be to hang out with her friends or go on a adventure with them. I try to think of them as real people who are going to have opinions about how I portray them. If they disagree, they will tell me and demand changes.


            About your book                   


Tell us about your latest book. The story/plot.

In this action-packed twist on the beloved Grimm Fairytale, Red Riding will not only face dangerous wolves; she will have to face the wolf within herself. Gifted with the power to transform into a werewolf, she will rise to become a legendary warrior known as the Alpha Huntress. Accompanied by bad-boy heartthrob Wolfgang Helheim, Red will lead a tribe of loyal followers armed with mystical powers of their own against a vile lunar deity, who plans to thrust Wayward Woods into eternal night.

  What gave you the idea?

This story has been around for almost 10 years. The first version I wrote was a live action TV pilot, which I pitched around Hollywood and got rejected across the board. Producers told me that people wouldn't be interested in fairy tale adaptations. HA! At one point I was developing the project as an animated series with Jim Henson Studios, but the animation networks didn't feel that an animated action series with a girl in the lead would work. Go figure that. The novel came about largely out of my own frustration. I had a story I wanted to tell and I was going to just do it, and with the awesome new world of self-publishing through Amazon, I decided to seize the opportunity.

What genre is it?

YA Paranormal Fantasy

What are your hopes for it?

At this point I intend this book to be the first in a series of seven books. I’d also love to see it developed for film or animation, but right now I am happy working on the books.

 What’s the next project that you’re working on?

There are many projects on my plate in the realm of film, animation and comics. I'm actively working on the follow up novel for Red Riding. The plan is to have the new book out in early 2014. I'm also working on further issues of a comic books series that I am writing for Zenescope called Jurassic Strike Force. In the realm of film, I am working on a vampire hunter movie called Clan of the Vein and I also wrote the feature film adaptation of Shayne Leighton's novel Of Light and Darkness.  

As you can see, this man has many talents, but if that's not enough to convince you, then stay tuned for an excerpt of his book coming up later.


Please go over and give his author page a ’like’ so that you can keep up to date with all his awesomeness.
