Southern Fried Chicas

The Chicas asked me to drop by. I was going to write up a whole blog post about my new supernatural thriller, RED. It’s a near-future, post apocalyptic twist on the Little Red Riding Hood fairytale. The idea behind the story came from one question: What if Little Red Riding Hood and the Big, Bad Wolf turned out to be the same person. In the end, I decided it would be best to let Red talk for herself.

Without further adieu, I’d like to welcome Gina ‘Red’ Santiago.

“I don’t have all day, so let’s get to it.”

Of course, I know you’re a busy woman, what with running the town of Nuria and all.

“Are you going to ask me any questions?”

What is it like being on a tactical team?

“Some days are boring. Most days are boring. It’s only when you encounter an Unknown that things perk up. I’ve never had one surrender yet.”

Speaking of which, I heard you got your nickname by pursuing Unknowns. Is that true?

“No, I got my nickname from shooting Unknowns. Get your facts straight.”

That’s a big gun you have.

“Yeah, it’s great for blowing big holes into people.”

Gulp.

“It’s a laser pistol. The wound cauterizes as it’s removing your heart from your chest. Want to see?”

No, no, I’m good. Um, how did you meet Sheriff Morgan Hunter?

“The usual way. On the job. I was investigating a murder not far from his town. One thing led to another.”

He’s hot. Don’t narrow your eyes at me. It’s true.

“If you know what’s good for you, you will keep your paws off him.”

Sure, anything you say. No need to point the pistol at me. Is there anything else you’d like to say to the readers?

“Buy the book–or I’ll hunt them down and rip their entrails out.”

I’m sure that will encourage them. Okay then, thank you very much for your time.

 Sorry everyone, but Red’s a woman of few words. If you have any questions about the book, fire away and I’ll try to answer them.
