Could you tell us a little bit about yourself?
My
name is Karina Halle. I’m born and bred in
Describe your book ‘Darkhouse’ in 30 words or less.
Darkhouse introduces us
to 20-something Perry Palomino, her tumultuous relationship with her partner
Dex Foray, and the paranormal world they
encounter as ghost-hunters.
What was the hardest part of writing your book?
Knowing I’d have to re-write it, ha ha.
What books have had the greatest influence on you?
As a book, I’d have to say Jane Eyre. That book was
a great inspiration for my series and for Perry and Dex (strangely enough).
Otherwise the authors that influence me are Christopher Pike and Stephen King,
among others.
Briefly share with us what you do to market your
book?
Everything you can think of. It’s a fathomless
mystery, trying to figure out how to garner success when you only have yourself
to rely on. But I do what I can. Giveaways, contacting book reviewers, doing
radio, contacting book suppliers, reaching out on social media, writing guest
posts, creating book trailers – these are just some of the things I do to
market my Experiment in Terror series.
How do you spend your time when you are not
writing?
Read. Market
and promote my books. Drink wine. Listen to music. Travel. Waste time on the
internet. Take fun and interesting classes. Think about going to the gym.
What are you working on next?
I’m using NaNoWriMo as an excuse to start writing
Book #5 in the EIT series. I will also complete an EIT short story I started a
month ago entitled The Benson. It’s a good introduction to the characters and I
plan to release it for free sometime this month.
