Dale Eldon

On today's Author Spotlight, I have the privilege of horror writer, Rebecca Besser as my guest. She has written several short stories, a free blog serial novel, and currently has a novella out on Amazon. She is a doll, she is scary, and she is one heck of writer. I give you my friend, Rebecca Besser...

Rebecca Besser

When did you first want to write for a living?

I had a couple tragic years, and when the Institute of Children's Literature kept sending me offers of enrollment, after taking and passing their writing test a couple years before, I decided it was the right thing to do for me. Using my writing talent has helped me through a lot of hard things in my life.


What made you decide on horror?

Horror isn't the only genre I write -- I like to explore different types of writing. But, I tend to like writing horror because it's fun and limitless.


How long have you been writing?

Pretty much my entire life. I won my first writing award in the 1st grade.

What kind of inspiration do you have?

That's a tricky question, because inspiration comes from everywhere, you just have to be open enough to see it.


Favorite authors/or books?

My fav authors are: Jean M. Auel and Linda Rios Brook
Jean M. Auel's Earth's Children Series and Linda Rios Brook's Reluctant Demon Diaries Series.
