Book Release: CLOAKED
IN FUR by T.F. Walsh
Well, a few weeks back, we revealed the cover for Tania's book, and here we are again, celebrating her release day! And because this is a blog that looks as film as well as fiction, I just had to ask Tania to share the kind of movie that helped influence her writing of this book. And she was nice enough to pop over here to answer! So let's give a warm welcome to debut author, T. F. Walsh
Hi Kate,
thanks for having me on your blog today.
What
inspires your writing is a question that many writers get asked, and asked a
lot. But one thing I have never been asked is what colors your writing? Inspiration
for a story or scene is important, but the influences for your characters and
settings are often a reflection of your style. I like to think that the way I
color my stories is what truly makes my writing unique to me. The color of my
stories tends to be on the dark side, with a bent towards paranormal and
definitely a pinch of fantasy and romance thrown in. If I had to pinpoint what
influenced this style, I would probably have to say it was the movies I watched
growing up.
In my early
teens, I spent way too much time watching movies. And more often than not I was
watching the same movies over and over again. And despite being too young, I
found myself drawn to the classical horror genre of movies. My favourites where
Clive Barker's Nightbreed, The Lost Boys, American Werewolf in London and Bram
Stoker's Dracula amongst many others. These movies were dark and paranormal
fantasies but with a twist of wry humor sprinkled throughout. Just how I like
my movies.

You know I still haven't seen American Werewolf in London. I should now that I'm an American living in London. I loved The Lost Boys. Own the DVD and watched it a few months ago.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your comments about experiences coloring writing. I haven't seen any of those movies. Not surprising really because I'm such a wuss! Don't like to be scared too much.
ReplyDeleteIt's great seeing Tania here. She mentioned the same movies that fueled by imagination as a youngster.
ReplyDeleteI'm seeing Tania everywhere! Great movie picks. Clive Barker is definitely one of my favorite. Hellraiser was a favorite of mine. Though for his books, I really love WEAVEWORLD. Have a wonderful weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat's a writer's life without a little darkness? right? right? :)
ReplyDeleteLoved to hear more about Tania's process!
Kate, thanks for having me on your blog today... it's great chatting about movies and influences on writing:)
ReplyDeleteT.B. - if you don't mind horror movies, you should give American Werewolf in London a go. It's good.
Shelley - Thanks for popping over:)
Medeia - So cool that we watched the same movies growing up.
Christine - Clive Barker is pretty cool - gruesome, but good.
Adriana - Completely agree - can't escape the dark:) Thanks Adriana.
