Let’s welcome the very
talented HUNTER S JONES today, read on…
Would you share a bit about yourself Hunter?
The art
form I create when writing is much more interesting than anything you will ever
know or learn about me. However, since you ask, I have lived in Tennessee and
Georgia my entire life, except for one “lost summer” spent in Los Angeles. I
was always a complex kid. My first published stories were for a local
underground rock publication in Nashville. I have published articles on music,
fashion, art, travel and history. Currently, I have a music blog and published
my debut novella, Fables of the Reconstruction, in 2012. I have a fascination
with Edgar Allan Poe and Anne Rice, although like any Southern girl, I will
always idolize Margaret Mitchell for writing Gone With The Wind. I live in
Atlanta, Georgia with my partner, my books and a million dollar view.
INSPIRATION:
As usual, I have no idea where the stories
come from. It's as if the universe sends me a concept, I research the
concept/idea and by the time I begin writing, the story seems to write itself.
Most of my stories have a spiritual and supernatural aspect. I enjoy studying
the beliefs of different cultures. Fables of the Reconstruction is interlaced
with Haitian and Creole Voodoo. One of my vignettes, The Legend, is about a
Cherokee love spell gone wrong.
A
Celtic Tapestry explores the eight
Celtic Festivals.
My story, Magic in Memphis, is the Yuletide story. I actually
studied with a Third Elevation Wiccan Priest to insure that ceremonial aspects
of their beliefs were correct in the story. The Altar, the candles--their
placement and color, it is all so very important to the practitioners and
should be acknowledged. Magic in Memphis is about a Wiccan practioner who lives
in Atlanta, Georgia. Victoria Bryant, is a PR executive and meets an English
businessman, James Wellington, at a corporate meeting. She falls madly in love
with him. This is their story, not really my story. It is a romantic love
story.
