{: a conversation on Speculative Fiction &
the fantastical realms we each equally appreciate soaking into :}

One of the things that I appreciate being able to bring to my readers on Jorie Loves A Story, are interviews with Editors as much as Authors of whom I am featuring work by during blog tours! I am always innately curious about their personal perspectives both as professionals and avid readers, as the one thing all creatives share who are bookishly inclined is a pure knack and addition to the printed word! Our explorations vary greatly as each of us are quite individualistically unique in which writers speak to the murmurs of our imagination and heart’s delight of exploration, but within the common threads which are revealed per interview, you will find that we all have one key of commonality: the pure joy of soaking into a novel or story which lights a feverish excitement in our mind’s eye!

I love being able to be in a position to ask curious questions of those who work behind the scenes to bring out emerging new talent and new stories which will give all of us something to ponder, ruminative after, and enjoy most heartedily as we seek our next best read as much as our next most challenging read if we dare to jump outside our comfort zones! A habit I most encourage all readers to take up regularly as it keeps the ability to draw an empathic eye towards the unknown and not yet discovered at the forefront of our fingertips! Therefore, as I am a relatively new reader of fiction in short story format via anthologies, as well as a reader drawn back into her roots of science fiction & fantasy, I welcomed the chance to interview an Editor of three current new releases for the Indie Publisher Seventh Star Press! The first two anthologies are part of this lovely blog tour, where faeries are explored and divided into two distinctive courts: the Seelie and Unseelie. I opted to yield to the tour director’s wisdom in knowing about my reading preferences on which anthological collection I would receive for review during the tour! He wisely elected to send me the Seelie Court!

Ahead of reading my observations on the Seelie Court and the authors whose contributions are contained therein, I am honoured to welcome Mr. Sandridge today!

Let us settle into a comfy chair, sip a cuppa tea, and listen to the conversation as it unfolded:

What do you enjoy the most being an editor of short story anthologies!? In particular, what attracts you to the fantasy genre?

Sandridge responds: Finding great stories, and getting to read them before anyone else. ;) Well, aside from the author and perhaps beta readers, but hey. shrugs I also love seeing a good publishable story from an unpublished author. I remember what it felt like to get published for the first time, and when there’s a chance to give that feeling to someone else, the editor job ends up even more rewarding.

The thing I love most about the fantasy genre is you get to experience whole new worlds and meet mythic-level heroes (or sometimes just ordinary characters caught up in extraordinary situations) and villains that you ‘know’ are evil. And the monsters, can’t forget about all the cool scary monsters.

I must confess, that is one positive attribute attached to being a book blogger, as I oft am in a position to read a novel ahead of its publication date as well! I have not yet had the option of being a beta reader realised, but I know I would enjoy the work beta readers contribute back to the writers who give them the opportunity. I receive the same enjoyment whilst reading ARCs. Yes, I agree with you on the discovery of wicked sweet stories alighting out of the emergence of a new writer about to hit the bookshelves and become a part of the experience and joy for readers to engage into their stories and the heart of their voice in written form! I smiled whilst reading you enjoy passing forward the happiness you experienced yourself. I have found this to be true countless times, as the publishing world is very close-knit and is very much a community. I will yield to your appreciation of ‘monsters’,.. as I recently added that notation in my Review Policy! Laughs with mirth!

What do you appreciate more professionally, the role of a writer or that of an editor? Do you equally find enjoyment in both roles?

Sandridge responds: Each role has their own good points, and each role has their own headaches. I prefer writing over being an editor, but that’s because I always wanted to be known as a writer. But overall, I enjoy each role equally.

Your response is short and yet goes directly to the heart of who you are at the same time! Wicked!

I read that you have written over 60 reviews, were those for novels or short story anthologies, or not entirely bookish either? How did you find your footing as a reviewer and what did you enjoy the most (or still do) by reviewing the creativity of others?

Sandridge responds: I’ve reviewed novels, short story anthologies, and short story magazines. I first became a reviewer for Tangent Online back when Eugie Foster had been the managing editor (that was around mid-2005 when I started there). She had me do a test review on a magazine, liked what I wrote, and brought me on board.
The best part of being a reviewer is that it forces you to read with a critical eye. While it’s not as in-depth as a full critiquing, it can still give you a good idea of what works (at least for you) and what doesn’t. And that is very helpful knowledge that you can apply to your own writing.

I enjoyed learning of your path towards being a reviewer, as that is one thing I have noticed as a book blogger, we all entered the world of reviewing published literary works through different veins of entrance! I, myself was given a chance to review ARCs and finished copies ahead of their publication dates via Book Browse ahead of creating Jorie Loves A Story. It was through my love of my work as a First Impressions Early Reader that garnished my pure joy and love of book blogging! As well as a few other factors, like being bookishly bubbly and a natural bourne author / book cheerleader! As evident from my visits on The Star Chamber Show! Laughs. You’re work in both fiction, short story anthology, and magazine markets is quite the legacy of work and you definitely have the flexible reach of conveying your observations in multiple mediums! A wicked accomplishment, by far!

When did you first pick up the pen? And, in which direction did it guide you?

Sandridge responds: I think I was about 7 or 8 when I first watched The Neverending Story. I liked that movie so much that I decided to try to write a story that would never end. I stopped writing that, which I had titled Jotan’s Journey, after about a hundred pages when I realized the story sucked. Then I tried a couple short stories. It wasn’t until my teens when I picked up the pen again after developing a fantasy world I call Pankea. But even then, it was more hobby than anything else (although at the time I thought I was being “serious” about it). It wasn’t until I was 25, and realized that my life was already 1/3rd over and I so far hadn’t accomplished jack, when I finally knuckled down and got serious about becoming an author.

And, here I always felt I was the sole appreciator of “The Neverending Story”!! I never once met another kid in grades school who was as attached to that motion picture as I was! You warmed my heart using that as a starting point to respond to this question! Wow. Totally impressed! Perhaps I just have lived in the wrong state for Speculative Fiction appreciators!? That would not gobsmack me in the least! I always wondered if I was surrounded by a heap of Muggles! Laughs. Oy vie. I can first-hand understand your initial writing attempts, as one of my secondary teachers (sixth grade) would have well attested to: I had the heart of a writer, but I did not yet know how to fuse the idea to the page, yet my attempts were landmark to him, as he read every bit of what I gave. This being unique as I took simple English essay or vocabulary exercises and turnt them into short stories!  Your drawing conclusion nipped off 25 years of living, as I for one always felt at twenty-five I only had lived one quarter of my life, not one-third! Mind you, I never felt that was the wrong side of the hourglass but a accumulation of adventures & stories thus far recorded in living memory! No matter how we each approach our path as a writer, the one thing remains: we were not like our peers and for that I smile a bit wickedly in fond appreciation & celebration of being a ‘creative’.

Which writers inspired you to write and share your own stories? And, can you give a bit of detail into how they gave you the inspiration?

Sandridge responds: My three primary inspirations are a bizarre mixed bag: Edgar Allen Poe, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Stephen King. It’s one of the reasons why even my heroic fantasy stories tend to veer into the dark and disturbing. I like how every single word, phrase, and sentence in a Poe short story is intentionally crafted to create a single powerful emotional effect in the reader (and his skill at alliteration is to die for). I love Tolkien’s sweeping epic scale in a world that felt real and also seemed to have a life of its own. And I’ve always been enamored by Stephen King’s “no balderdash rubbish” approach to the craft.

And then there’s Eugie Foster. Every time I read one of her stories, I end up depressed for a week due to the fact that I know there’s no way I’ll ever be able to write with such flowing elegance in a way that seems so completely natural. That, and after reading one of her stories, you’re no longer the same person you once were before you had read it.

Of the three key inspirations you’ve mentioned, one was always on my TBR List long before I ever heard the bookish reader’s slang word for “books I want to read” (as TBR is ‘to be read’ slang): J.R.R. Tolkien appealed to my sensitivity of seeking out wordsmiths with the innate ability to dig deep into narrative which is both full of depth and breadth of story. Ironically, I did not actually acquire his books until my early twenties, seeking out the Histories direct from England and yet, placing them on my shelf to await the proper season to explore them fully! Ironic or no, the season has yet to arrive — as I plumb was bewitched, enchanted, and attached to the motion pictures save the violent overtures, as it was the characters which spoke to me the most: the Elves especially and the setting of Middle Earth! I even loved Gimli! (as revealed on my book review for “A Brotherhood of Dwarves”) King isn’t my traditional go-to psychological suspense writer, (as I have an aversion to Horror; yet I like Horror in other formats like classic motion pictures & a few other quirky interests) and yet, I could not help but include “The Dead Zone” & “Hearts in Atlantis” on my tCC List! (I spoke about this over the weekend in my #ChocLitSaturdays Tweet Chat) And, somewhere on my blog & in the book blogosphere itself, I have more than once mentioned my deep pull towards Middle Earth as a world wholly realistic and true to our own. I felt as though I *knew!* Middle Earth whilst I watched the motion pictures! As though I had ‘been there previously’ and my memories were slightly out of reach!? Poe interests me but from a distance. I am reading about his wife in “Mrs. Poe” in June for an upcoming blog tour! Clearly, I never quite close the door on what does not directly interest me! (the whole reach outside your comfort zone is a personal mantra!) Now, Eugie Foster I know nothing about – I will get back to you after I have time to reach her collective work!

What was your favourite past-time as a child? Did it inspire your future creative pursuits?

Sandridge responds: Hunting, fishing, video games, watching cartoons, and playing RPG games like Dungeons & Dragons. I also loved playing baseball even though my constant itching, sneezing, and watery eyes from my allergies made it difficult to play. Out of them all, I think D&D inspired my creative pursuits the most, but then that’s what the old tabletop RPG games were designed to do.

Oh, still my heart — I love board games & role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons! Laughs. You brought back happy memories of my childhood & teenage years! (I mention my gaming past in my book review of “Virtual Blue”) Fishing was always a happy day out for me, as it was simply me, the fish in the brackish river, and the worms in the Styrofoam cup I had the most pleasure in talking to before I used them as bait! I used the approach of Native Americans in being blessed for what you need in order to gain what you need. Except to say my precision as a fisherman was not nearly as accurate as my intentions, but the solitude and serenity of nature invigorated me! Plus how many girls do you know actually *love!* baiting their own hooks and purchasing their own bait!? I send up a heart-note of gratitude to my beloved grandfather for instilling my passion of fishing and giving his grand-daughter her first Swiss Army knife, tackle box, and fishing pole! Oy vie! Baseball! I could talk heaps of hours about baseball — from sorting out how I am a Leftie to a keen third-baseman, to the joy of being a Red Sox Nation girl! A hinting of which I revealed on this blog post by a recent debut author I hosted Ms. Brenda S. Anderson! Wicked sweet meeting another gamer who is a baller!

What is your favourite aspect of being involved with the science fiction, fantasy, and horror genre? (aka: Speculative Fiction) What endears you most?

Sandridge responds: Those three genres let you create pure poppycock in ways that no other genre will allow. Of course, with science fiction, you have to get the science right (or at least consistent and logical for your world) or you’re up the creek without the proverbial paddle. They’re also the genres that are much more closely related to both the Bardic Tradition and the Mythic Tradition, and thus are the evolved versions of what our ancient ancestors had first pioneered.

I completely agree with your sentiments on behalf of science fiction especially when you consider writing science fiction based on science fact (such as I have). For me that is part of the challenge and joy of writing science fiction, but it can also be the bullet which bites off your tail if you are not considerate of how you go about structuring your world and allowing the physics of your world’s dynamics to remain centered and true to its form.

Is editing an anthology more difficult than writing a book? If so, why? And, how did you make the final selections fit into each collection of A Chimerical World as you spilt them between the two court divisions of the fey?

Sandridge responds: When writing a book you still have to do some editing on your part before sending it off to an editor, so yeah, writing can be more difficult than just editing.

When deciding which story would go into which volume, I mostly went by the overall nature of the Fey in the stories. I didn’t want to fall into the trap of casting the Seelie Court as being all good and the Unseelie as being all bad. After all, faeries are a wee bit more complex than that. The authors had picked which court their stories belonged in, and the vast majority of them picked well. There were only a couple that were submitted for the Seelie Court that I decided better belonged in the Unseelie Court, or vice versa.

This is a credit to knowing which writers to pull into an anthology and the role in which you asserted as the leader and guide of the anthology itself. I cannot wait to reveal my own observations based on the collection of shorts inside the Seelie Court and then, make a further comment on this revelation of how they were collected!

What stood out to you the most of Tolkien’s elves & Shakespeares faeries to the brink that you settled back on their memories whilst creating the project that is now A Chimerical World? What attributes of those classical creations and distinctive personalities of their creations inspired you forward to seek out new voices of faerie stories?

Sandridge responds: I always loved stories involving elves and sprites and trolls. Tolkien’s elves are some of the most well-developed elves ever created, with a rich vast history spanning tens of thousands of years. And who doesn’t love Puck from A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The best thing about the Fey is that they epitomize “The Other” in that they can be so similar to us and yet so alien at the same time. And that’s what stands out the most in the stories you find in the A Chimerical World anthologies, that alien-but-familiar vibe.

You’ll be most surprised to learn this, but although I readily watched “A MidSummer’s Night Dream” in the cinemas when the new adaptation released with actors of our age taking on the lead roles, I have yet to sit down and acquaint myself with the actual bonefide original creation! (which I reveal in length on my review of “A MidSummers Night’s Steampunk”) The uniqueness of the fey and of faeries in general is part of what inspired me to create the hashtag for “A Chimerical World” to help start the conversation on Twitter for readers who pick up the volumes and want to create a convo based on what they find inside. I love characters who are alien yet familiar myself and that is one reason I opted to be on this tour! As much as why it goes to why I am passionately attached to “Avatar”!

I am also keenly interested in how you approached selecting the stories for Hero’s Best Friend as it is also an upcoming anthology with Seventh Star Press, going on tour in the book blogosphere shortly after A Chimerical World! Why do stories set in fantasy realms and involve animals bewitch our hearts as much as they do?

Sandridge responds: Humans have had animals as companions since before written history. They enrich our lives in such ways that most of us can’t even imagine a life without them. And while animal companions in fantasy and science fiction stories are always fun to see on-screen or read about, very rarely do they ever take a lead role in the story, outside of comedies. I thought it’d be fun to switch that around.

Yes, I completely agree with you on this score – they are oft underused in stories where they could be front and center as protagonists. This is also a harkening back to what has endeared me to science fiction and fantasy in motion pictures, as “The Neverending Story”, “Pete’s Dragon”, “Chronicles of Narnia”, and “Small Soldiers” alight in mind where animals take on distinctive lead roles in order to help their companions on their journey. I look forward to being on the blog tour for “Hero’s Best Friend” and seeing the stories which came out of your mission to bring them front and center!

I know you enjoy attending book conventions &/or festivals. What is singularly your favourite aspect of a convention? And, do you have a favourite story of meeting a reader who either knew of your work or enjoyed reading the same stories you do?

Sandridge responds: The best part of conventions is the face-to-face you get that can’t happen online, and being surrounded by people who enjoy a lot of the same kind of stuff you do. I like to hit the game rooms when I have the time to spare. It’s an awesome experience to play games with other writers, complete strangers, people you meet only at the cons, and your fans—and every mixture thereof.

Yes, I would think that is the best part of bookish conventions for me as well, even though I have not yet attended my first one! I have part of my blog’s sidebar dedicated to bookish conventions & festivals (which I do realise needs to be updated for 2014 /2015 dates!) as part of my long-term goals of JLAS is to be in attendance of the very events I am listing to help others find them to attend themselves! The bubbly chatterbox in me who likes to engage in truly spontaneous conversations will be lit with joy from the first moment she alights on the convention floor to the moment she hits the dreamscapes late into the wee hours of that next morn! Oh, I cannot help but dream of attending at the moment,.. including the Imaginarium which is an upcoming début bookish & writerly convention in September | Louisville, Kentucky!

What is the hardest part to writing short story fiction? On level of how the story needs to resonate and settle into the imagination of the reader? What tools and materials do you use to write? And, where do you write the most? Time of Day?

Sandridge responds: The hardest part is not falling into the trap of telling instead of showing. It’s an easy trap to fall into because you often do it without realizing what it is you’re doing. I used to write on a PC made of cannibalized parts that I called Frankenputer, but poor Franky kicked the bucket about a year back. Currently I write on an Acer laptop, when not scribbling notes at work on sticky note pads.

I used to have a strict writing schedule of 500 words minimum every day, Monday through Friday. But that was before I got stuck with an overnight job that has a 1 ½ hour commute to work and a 1 ½ hour commute back home. Now I mostly write on the weekends and on those rare weekdays when my brain is cognizant enough to string a sentence together.

Sticky notes!? You must be a saint of a writer to write notes in such a small space of paper! I barely have space on sticky notes to write my ‘to do list’ for JLAS! As much as notes about blogs to visit, books to fetch at my local library, upcoming weekly memes, blog tours to visit, tweet chats not to miss (and generally forget about lateron!), etc. Your Frankenputer reminds me of my own grimaces of dealing with Murdoc (named after a character on “Macgyver”) a feisty printer of the past who vexed me something fierce whilst attempting to print everything from personal correspondence to drafts of my manuscripts! He was a true ‘killjoy’, hence the name as he murdered every attempt I’d make to print! (note the sadistic humour?) I feel you for the commute – my Da had the same nightmaric hours on the interstate as you before he retired! Except his was rounded to four hours a day as he went two hours in both directions. I will hope for your work schedule to ease allowing you to resume your writing without the stress of a shortage of time to enjoy it in the near future.

Why does your passion lie with Indie Publishers and how did you decide to become active in the Indies?

Sandridge responds: The best thing about Small Press and Indies is you have much more freedom and control over your creations. It’s a powerful feeling to have.

That being said, writers also have to eat, so if a big publisher came along and offered enough money, I’d certainly be tempted to say yes. ;)

I love the ability of small publishers and independent publishers to take a risk on a writer whose work would not escape the slush pile at a big house. To give writers who have a more unique voice in narrative to have a chance at being published and having the backing of a publisher who believes in their vision & body of work. That said, there have been hybrid and/or self-published authors who I have had the pleasure of meeting through blog tour events that I was thankful had the confidence and persistence to get their books in print! I am thinking of “To Live Forever: An Afterlife Journey of Meriwether Lewis“, “Inscription“, “The Storm Sullivan Saga“, “Safe & Sound“, and my forthcoming reviews of “Portals, Passages, & Pathways” as well as “The Dragon’s Pawn” (which carries on from “The Pact“). I celebrate cheering the innovative choices in publishing today!

What are three novels involving faeries you’ve appreciated but are not on a reader’s radar to read!? Meaning, they are not readily brought to light or spoken about as much as an author everyone would recognise by name alone. What captivated you by the context of the writer’s choice of faerie?

Sandridge responds: There’s a really cool elf in The Brotherhood of Dwarves series by D.A. Adams. And Eugie Foster has written some pretty cool stories involving Asian faeries and shape-changers; some of those stories you can find in her short story collections, like Returning My Sister’s Face. And Selah Janel has a novel that just came out, titled Olde School, which has Fey galore in it.

Faeries always spark imagination and wonder, and can be a theme all to their own.

I highlighted “The Brotherhood of Dwarves” because I had the honour of reading this during my previous showcase of Seventh Star Press authors & titles. I am still intrigued to learn more about Eugie Foster and I like the fact she wrote about a different cultural of faerie as much as included shapeshifters, as ever since I met the hawk in “Reclamation“, I am now keen to find more shapeshifters who appeal to me! I was happy for Ms. Janel to have a new release on tour right now as I have enjoyed getting to know her through The Star Chamber Show!

What is your greatest everyday joy?

Sandridge responds: Coffee and Mt. Dew! And lots of both!

By far the most unexpected answer I have ever received in an Interview! However, I must also admit, I was a Mt. Dew guzzling teenager who drank enough of the greenish liquid to curate enough caps to submit in to receive the wicked sweet Mt. Dew skateboard ONLY to be told by whomever was in charge of the collection of bottlecaps that ‘due to reasons not able to disclose’ the skateboard would not be sent to me nor would I be refunded the postage nor the shipping costs in which I included. I was NEVER more depressed nor deflated in my entire life! I never even thought to enter a ‘drink for a prize’ before and I never will again! Since then, I have had a distinctive cringe towards drinking the soft drink; and very, very rarely ever allow myself the pleasure of its taste. Why I elected to share this today is unknown! Hmm,… I should have revealed my new affixed addiction to java, which inspired the badge at the footer of this blog! Laughs! Consider this a ‘quirky antidote of Jorie’,… lest I ever reveal how disastrous it was for me to not collect a snowboard that was on layaway for six-months,…  raspberry mocha latte anyone!?

Converse on Twitter: #AChimericalWorld & #7thStar

I would like to thank Mr. Sandridge for his candid honesty and wicked wit answers to my questions & enquiries, which on more than one occasion (or three!) gave me such a belly-deep chucklment of laughter that I was more than overjoyed I had opted to host him for an Interview on this first leg of the A Chimerical World Anthology Blog Tour! I did, however, edit out his more flavourful expressions as anyone who regularly reads Jorie Loves A Story understands (and knows in full clarity) my position on vulgarity and the usage of curse words! Although, I will admit, in the few instances his voice was strong to push a point across, I did find myself nodding in full understanding even if, the choice of his words slightly rosed my cheeks! I do hope he will not mind the small edits and still realise his full essence is still intact! I look forward to seeing the notes which alight for him in the comment threads as much as the results of my little poll to compliment his Interview!

*note: I may not condone the use of strong language, but in certain instances I cannot help but see the humour in the logic of its inclusion. I am only human afterall! A bit like how although my preferences in motion picture run counter-current to my generation (in most instances), there are times where I find myself liking a very sophisticated & humourous film only to find strong language included in select instances of empathis! My own personal fictional writings are absent of vulgarity in case anyone up to this point is curious to know. As it was disclosed during a #ChickLitChat within the past month. Their respect and acceptance of that gobsmacked me in return and my heart warmed in knowing that even if we have distinctive differences if you own your heart & voice in writing, as much as you accept their choices in return — writers are an open-minded bunch! I have had the same experience with Speculative Fiction authors previously featured, reviewed, and hosted on JLAS!

For those keen on knowing more about The Star Chamber Show, please click-over to My Bookish Life and read towards the bottom about the weekly podcast hosted by Seventh Star Press authors on Wednesday Nights! I am their unofficial live-tweeting secretary but I had to take time off from listening due to different personal reasons as well as pursuing tweetchats which air at the same time as I disclose in that section. Full linkage to the podcasts I either was a Guest or Guest Host are also included!

All week-long I am proud to be hosting Seventh Star Press books and anthologies by emerging new talent in the Speculative Fiction branch of literature! This is my second Seventh Star Press focus week here on Jorie Loves A Story in 2014! The first focus week was self-promoted by myself and this time I have the honour of hosting blog tours for the publisher through Tomorrow Comes Media their publicity agent and firm.

I previously spoke on behalf of my passion for reading Anthologies during the A to Z Challenge!

This Editor Interview is courtesy of:

as I am happily honoured to be:

I reviewed “A Chimerical World: Tales of the Seelie Court” on Monday, 19th of May, 2014!

Please visit my Bookish Events page to stay in the know for upcoming events!

Similar to blog tours, when I feature a showcase for an author via a Guest Post, Q&A, Interview, etc., I do not receive compensation for featuring supplemental content on my blog.

Reader Interactive Question:

In an effort to make this Interview a bit more interactive for my visitors & readers, I wanted to open up a Poll to see which fantastical creatures and characters within the Speculative Fiction realms are most enjoyed by everyone who alights on this blog tour post for Tomorrow Comes Media! Specifically out of my own curiosity and due to the fact this is a blog tour for Seventh Star Press, which is an Indie Publisher for Speculative Fiction authors and their stories!

Likewise, if you have a spare second after taking the Poll (more than one answer is allowed!), kindly add inside the comment threads why your heart leads you to marking down your answer! Name which stories by which authors of whom represent your choice(s) as a way to encourage others who alight on this post to seek a new author to explore! I look forward to seeing the responses myself as I always find quite a heap to look forward to reading within the Science Fiction & Fantasy genres! Those of you who read Horror are welcome to give those choices as well!
