Interview - Happily Ever After: Twisted Versions of Your Favorite Fairy Tales by Elizabeth Black

- What is your “day” job if you are not a full time author?

I'm a full time author.

- If you wrote a book about your life what would the title be?

Fools Rush In. Or Slippery When Wet. I can't decide. LOL

- What is the hardest thing about being an author?

Keeping my confidence up. It's easy to feel isolated and depressed as a writer. It's practically part of the job description.

- What is the best thing about being an author?

Creating new worlds and fascinating people.

- Have you ever been star struck by meeting one of your favorite authors? If so who was it? 

I have been star struck, but I try to hide it. My first love is horror. I've interviewed some of my favorite authors for The Horror Zine and for podcasts. These guests include Joe R. Lansdale (the Hap Collins and Leonard Pine series, which was made into a miniseries for Sundance), Jonathan Maberry (Z Wars, which was made into a miniseries), Douglas Clegg (Neverland), Ramsey Campbell (The Hungry Moon), Ray Garton (Live Girls), Daniel Knauf (writer: The Blacklist and Carnivale), Walt Bost (sound: iZombie,  Veronica Mars), Jack Ketchum (The Girl Next Door), Josh Malerman (Bird Box, which was made into a movie for Netflix), and Paul Tremblay (A Head Full of Ghosts, which is about to be made into a movie.). Joe Lansdale is one of my favorite writers. I controlled myself when I first contacted him. LOL

- What book changed your life?

"Claudia" by Barbara Brooks Wallace. I read it when I was 12 years old, and I was being relentlessly picked on by kids in class like the girl in the book. Claudia called her bully a "Horsey Petunia". I liked the term so much I used it on one of my bullies, and my teacher overheard me. She liked the term so much she started using it whenever the bullies would get on my case. After using that term, the bullies let up on me since they didn't like being called a Petunia. LOL

- What were some of your favorite books growing up?

The aforementioned "Claudia", by Barbara Brooks Wallace. I was severely picked on when I was a kid, and I could relate to that book. I own the complete works of Edgar Allan Poe. I love his dark tales, especially "The Black Cat", "The Cask of Amontillado", and "The Masque of the Red Death". However, my favorite of his is a poem he called "To F—", for Frances Sargent Osgood. It's a beautiful love poem – the kind of thing you wouldn't expect Poe to write. I grew up in Baltimore where Poe died, so the interest in him was natural. I also enjoyed Sherlock Holmes' stories, "The Bell Jar", Nancy Drew mysteries, Shirley Jackson, Alfred Hitchcock's scary stories, and "Siddhartha".

- What books are currently in your to be read pile?

I just finished "Ancient Enemy" by Mark Lukens. It was a very good horror novel. I want to read the sequel. I have some Douglas Preston/Lincoln Child novels to read. I love a good adventure or mystery. Right now, I'm reading a biography of writer Shirley Jackson. She wrote "The Lottery" and "The Haunting of Hill House".

- Which do you prefer ebooks, print, or audio books?

While I love to hold a print book in my hands, I prefer ebook since I may store thousands of books on the device, which beats having to stock up on bookcases. I already have ten packed big bookcases in the apartment. Ebooks are also inexpensive. They appeal to my sense of instant gratification.

- If you could live inside the world of a book or series which world would it be and why?

I would love to live in the cavern in the game Uru: Myst Live. It's a sweeping, soothing place to me. It's also stunning. Lots of rock and stained glass lit by fire marbles. I also would enjoy living in the Shire from "The Lord of the Rings", although I didn't like the book. The Shire sounds like a nice, safe, friendly place to live and it's beautiful.

Excerpt – Call of the Piper

"Kiss me there once more." Henry begged.

"Only if you let me fuck you again."

"I won't stop you."

Henry Mountjoy stretched on his bed as the young man's mouth wrapped around his engorged cock. He fisted the bed sheets, ready to burst for the second time that afternoon from the best mouth fucking he'd ever had. As that tongue flicked along his shaft, Henry arched his back, stirred by the expertise of his lover. Thin fingers fondled his balls, rolling them around like hacky sacks, and the man played Henry's cock as if it were a skin flute. Stars burst behind his closed eyes, and his pulse beat hard in his throat. Every nerve on his body tingled with excitement.

No one had ever made love to him with such finesse, certainly none of the village women. No matter now nubile they appeared they stirred no passion in Henry yet he pretended to enjoy their ministrations only to keep his father at bay. He'd enjoyed secret trysts with an occasional butcher and even one veterinarian, but none had affected him the way this man had. The man who tended to his ache arrived in the town only three days earlier, but the instant attraction drove Henry mad until the fellow accosted him in a deserted room in the manor house.

"I want you inside me again." Henry said.

"Of course, you do. Turn over."

Fragrant oil dribbled down his ass, and within moments the man entered him; first just the tip until Henry adjusted to his girth, and then he slowly slid his entire cock inside. Henry craved the filled-up sensation from this man whose cock was so huge it threatened to cleave him in two. Henry had entertained all manner of pricks, but this man's far surpassed the rest. Not only was he large, he knew what to do with it. After several swipes at his sweet spot deep inside, the build-up of arousal overwhelmed Henry, who shot his load all over the clean cotton sheets. His lover pounded hard, driving that stake home until he came with a cry. Warm cum dripped down Henry's ass and cooled against his thighs. The young man rolled off Henry and took him in his arms, two becoming one in the afterglow of their lovemaking.

"Was it good?" The young man asked.

"What?"

"Your hearing is terrible. I asked 'Was it good?'"

"Are you kidding? You're incredible."

He smiled. "I try."

"So, when are you going to tell me your name? Even my father doesn't know your name and he hired you to drive away the rats in town."

"My name isn't important. You may call me the Pied Piper."

"That's not a name, that's a title. Aren't you called Lucas or Jeffrey or something more exotic like Erasmus?"

"No."

"So, what am I to call you?"

"Call me 'Master'".
