Author 911

An Interview with

Simon Oneill

Spinner of Vampire Lore, Dark Fantasy, & Big Foot Fodder

Hello Everyone,

Today we welcome the one and only Simon Oneill, the author of the Phantom Big Foot series and Eternal.  Simon has the greatest range of writing abilities I’ve seen in a writer.

Judith Lucci

Hi Simon, welcome to Author 911 and many thanks for coming here today to talk about your books.  I know how busy you are getting ready to release your new book.

Simon O'Neill

Hello Judith.  I am so happy to be here.  It’s always fun to be with you.

Judith Lucci

Simon, you are one of my favorite writers and people, too, for that matter.  Please tell everyone about your books.

Simon Oneill

Thank you Judith and I love your books too.  I am a Paranormal Fantasy author and dabble in YA and Adult.  My teen series is Duane Dexter's Bigfoot Adventures Parts 1,2,3 where a teenager is altered by aliens to protect a tribe of Bigfoot often with disastrous results.  Magic is Murder is my Monty Pythonesque horror novel set in stunning Cornwall, UK where a celebrity author goes on a killing spree to protect her family secret.  My big release on March 7th was Blood of the Eternal Moon, an erotic gothic romance set in Paris 1925.  Blood of the Eternal Moon is full of demonic possession and gore galore, oh and of course plenty of sex.

Judith Lucci

This is great!  It sounds like your Eternal books on literary steroids.  Your dark fantasies full of gothic images and bloody erotic scenes jump from the page and seduce the reader.

Tell us about your new release although I must say, your Big Foot series is just the greatest too!

Simon Oneill

You are too kind Judith.  Blood of the Eternal Moon is an historical dark fantasy explaining how Eternal Vampires alter our history for its beauty, but their evil servant vampires known as Sucklings will do anything to subvert their efforts and cause chaos and war.  And this time around, a female Eternal is trapped in an asylum where she is hunted by Lucien's Blood Cult.

Judith Lucci

You know, Simon, you have an extraordinary talent for making your characters real and vivid!  Do you see them in your mind as you write them?  When I read your books, I almost feel like I am seeing the video at the same time.

Simon Oneill

My secret Judith is I write them as a screenplay first, full of intense visuals with of course no thought patterns.  Then I add in feelings for more intensity but always in a POV through the character's eyes so the reader feels everything but will not know who the character is until another character interacts with them.  What’s neat is I have a screenplay at hand if requested by LaLa Land.

Judith Lucci

Well, it's certainly successful.  What is the most exciting thing happening for you now as a writer - in addition to your new release?

Simon Oneill

The release of Blood of the Eternal Moon has taken me over.  I can't stop thinking about it, dreaming about it, living it, well except for the blood slurping, but it has taken control of me in a way no other book ever has.  There are hints at Hollywood's eyes on the book which has caused a flutter or a million in my tums.

Judith Lucci

Yes, I was hoping you would mention that. What can all of us do to help with that?

Simon Oneill

Like my Author page. My author page is too lowly ranked and needs to be bumped up into 5 figures, that way the big guys in Hollywood will know I have a good fan base.  http://facebook.com/simononeillauthor

Judith Lucci

OK, that’s easy…so we should ask everyone who reads this to like your author page and ask everyone to invite “likes” as well.

Simon Oneill

Yes please, that would be great. http://facebook.com/simononeillauthor

Judith Lucci

So...where do you get your ideas and motivation?

Simon Oneill

Many things really, dreams, Star Trek original series has some great story bases to work from. The episode with the giant apes attacking Spock (miss you dude) inspired our Bigfoot as it was in the hippie era we made Bigfoot hippies.

Judith Lucci

That's neat! Now, I have one final question. Before that, is there anything else you would like to add?

Simon Oneill

I feel I have covered most everything Judith.

Judith Lucci

OK, here goes,

If you had a magic wand and could make one wish, what would it be?

Simon Oneill

I would wish that everyone would wake up vegetarians!

Judith Lucci

You are too funny!! I'm already there so no problem for me!

Simon Oneill

Judith, thank you so much for letting me come today. I loved spending time with you, you Big Foot Babe.

Judith Lucci

Thank you for coming, Simon. I’m so excited about your new release. I’ll get it tomorrow. I know it’ll be fantastic as the others.
