1. Interesting cover, it caught my eye, for sure :)

2. Sounds really good. The book trailers look great.

3. Hi--thanks for checking in!

4. If you scroll up about halfway there are 3 YouTube videos. I accidentally made contact with a Youtuber and created video animations of the first stories from each of the first 3 books. So you can listen to The Cave, IT Walks and Curse of the Ancients for free to get a feel for my writing and a taste of what the stories are all about :)

5. love the cover

   1. Thank You! I give all the credit to my Press: RedCape Publishing!

   2. Question for Author--What inspired you to become a writer?

      1. Sorry--missed this. I think I've always been telling stories. As a kid, when I played with toys and action figures I was always creating story lines and scenarios. As a teen, I discovered Dungeons and Dragons and found I liked running the game more than playing--I got to be the story teller. It was then I also tried my hand at writing.

         As for the horror, my mom was huge into horror so I grew up reading the greats like Lovecraft, Poe, Ambrose Bierce, and watching old horror movies as well as contemporary. I'm also into cryptids which shows its influence in some of these stories.

         Thanks for asking!

6. Looks like the beginning of a great series

   1. Thank you! I'm just getting Season 2 out this summer. I'm working on #3 now. It's got a lot of fun characters I really have gotten attached to :)

7. I had one period where I was getting people attempting to get in. I am currently running my WordPress sites through GoDaddy--I ended up changing passwords and it quit. I get updates though when people are commenting or anything is happening with my sites.

   1. Sounds like a good read

8. This sounds like quite the horror read.

   1. Thank you! You can scroll up and three of the stories in the set have been made into YouTube narrations so you can check out my writing style :)

      I also have a website dedicated to these stories and you can get background BIO's on the characters and other info.

      1. This sounds like a great read

16. I like everything about this series - genre title and covers!
    Thank you for sharing this excerpt.

    1. Happy too! Thanks for taking the time to check it out.

17. Not my genre but I think there are times I should read things that are a total escape (this sounds like it would be that)

    1. Thank you for checking it out at least. If you were going to start horror I'm not sure this is a good one to start with :) :) :) I do prefer more psychological horror. I'm not into the slasher side of horror, but there is some graphic violence--if it fits within a story, I'll put it in there, but I like to focus on the characters and how they deal with the horrific.

       Still, if you have friends into horror, please let them take a look :)

18. This sounds like a really inspire read!

    1. Thank you! If you scroll up you can listen to 3 of the stories. I teamed up with a YouTuber named Nigel Watson and he liked them enough to narrate the stories and used AI animations. It will give you a feel for my writing style. Appreciate you stopping by.

19. I like the book details.

    1. Thank you. I'm proud of these stories. You can listen to 3 of them narrated by clicking the YouTube links above if you care to. I appreciate you stopping by and commenting!

20. The book sounds really great.

    1. Thanks! You can listen to 3 of the stories narrated if you get curious. Just scroll up to the YouTube links. I accidentally crossed paths with a YouTuber named Nigel Watson and he read some of my stories and was excited enough about them to create those narrations along with AI images.

       Thanks for checking out my stories!

21. Great cover!

    1. Thanks for checking it out! I have to give credit to my press: RedCape Publishing from Brighton in the UK. They've been really supportive of my stories!

22. Just for background, this started as a single story. It was The Cave (which you can find above in the YouTube links). I got it picked up to be published by a press and they asked if I had more stories in that world. Actually I'd been working on a novel but was only about halfway into it but that idea of more stories got my brain going.

    I ended up writing 18 more stories to create Season 1. I kept the short story format creating a serial of stories and divided into 3 novellas, each focusing on a different team of characters as they battle interdimensional threats. The 4th novella is a finale bringing all of the teams together to go up against a common enemy.

    19 stories all connected so you can break up the reading as you find time. I grew up admiring serial cartoons and even weekly TV shows--which most follow a similar format. It was a lot of fun to write and led to the second season which is releasing now. Season 3 is beginning and should wind up the series for now.

23. intriguing

    1. Thanks for stopping by and checking it out.

24. Interesting Plot, refreshingly different!

    1. Thank you! I liked horror serials growing up like Jonny Quest. I like the idea of independent stories linked together with crossovers of characters and intertwining plots.

25. It looks like a good read.

    1. Thanks! If you scroll up you can find links to YouTube narrations of 3 stories. I accidentally connected with a Youtuber named Nigel Watson and he liked the stories enough to create those three complete with AI images and scenes. You can listen and get a taste of my writing style.

       Appreciate you saying hello and checking out my work.

26. Sounds cool! Thanks for the character art & videos! I loved them! :)

    1. Very welcome! Thanks for stopping by!

27. Neat cover

    1. Thanks! I work with a press out of the UK called RedCape Publishing and they designed the cover for that book. The individual novellas all have different covers and you can see one below. I really liked them because the covers treat the stories like case files:

37. Do you have any advice for new writers?

    1. Hi, thanks for checking in!

       I do. First and foremost figure out what works best for you: what times of day you get your most creative, where that needs to happen, and how often. It's all up to you. When I was first writing I was told all of these "rules" about writing and what I've learned is that none of that is set in stone.

       I write best at night, and can write almost anywhere. I also do not write every day. I believe you have to find your own rhythms. I do write regularly, but I take breaks too because I think you need time to recharge your creative side. I rarely write much in the summer--it's kind of my down time. I knock out the most words between January and May--it's my high productivity time. BUT, that doesn't mean that will work for you.

       Take other people's advice with a critical eye and find out what works for you.

       And the other thing is patience and perseverance. Keep writing and keep working and opportunities will happen. It's a pain in the butt, but it works.

       If you need help with building well rounded characters you can go to my website and download a "Character Development Questionnaire" for free: https://craiglcrawfordbooks.com/extra-stuff/ It's just a list of things I ask about my main characters that really helps me get to know them, so that when I start writing, I know how they think and react.

       Feel free to ask more questions and thanks for stopping by! -Craig
