Welcomes

Author, Graphics Designer & Photographer,

David C Cassidy to the chair.

Oh my god how are you David, it’s so lovely to have you here today, I am deeply honoured to have you here today. My fifth guest on our all new Author2Author Blog Chat, New Guests, Class of 2014.

Please make yourself at home and we’ll begin as soon as you’re ready.

Ellie

Tell us who you are, David…

David

David C. Cassidy. I’m a Pisces. I’m from Windsor, Ontario, Canada. I’m the youngest of ten kids. The creative “black sheep,” if you will.

{David laughs Ellie chuckles}

Ellie

And what was it like growing up?

{David laughs again}

David

Hell. We ate in groups, and being the youngest, I got the scraps. Seriously, though, it was tough standing out—although I do remember being the only one of ten who was put in a harness and tied to a clothesline so I could only run up and down the backyard—I had this odd habit of running off and getting lost. I’d give my mother fits. For the most part, though, I pretty much lived in my head. When my brothers and sisters were living “normal” lives, I was buried in books.

Ellie

Wow, David! That’s a pretty crazy upbringing, I can’t imagine the laughs and the cries you had in your household. My childhood was a lonely one also, and I was the youngest of four, let alone ten!

Ellie

The next question is; how do you think your family would describe your work?

David

They’ve disowned me. Velvet Rain was too intense for them.

{David laughs}

David

Honestly? They’ve seen my photography, they’ve read my books—and they’ve said all the wonderfully positive things you’d expect family to say. Still, I do remember one thing in particular about Velvet Rain. I was sitting at my computer around 3:00 a.m. one night, and an email came in from my second-oldest brother. He never writes that late. The email was titled, “WOW.” I had no idea what that meant, of course—he sends all kinds of things to me. For all I knew, it could have been a really cool photograph that he figured I’d like. But when I opened up the email, all it said was, “WOW. I just finished your book. I don’t ever stay up this late, but I couldn’t put this thing down. Well done, bro. Amazing.” I was floored.

{Ellie smiled}

Ellie

That is pretty awesome!

Ellie

How do you find the time to balance your work life with family life?

David

I’m a writer. We don’t have lives. We just write about other people’s lives.

{David smiles Ellie laughs}

Ellie

Or we live inside their lives instead!

Ellie

Do you have any religious beliefs?

David

Ever since my mother’s death—bless her angelic soul—and the current poor health of my father—I’ve had to re-evaluate my belief systems. I like to think God is looking after my mom, and that’s she looking down on her soulmate and her kids. Does that mean there’s an after-life? I sincerely hope so. Otherwise, most of us are going to be pretty damn disappointed.

Ellie

I couldn’t have said it better, David. I too have recently re-evaluated my belief system since I lost my son. Every minute of the day I hope he’s being looked after and that he’s happy at God’s side, or even better, living the life he was once deprived of, until we meet again.

Ellie

Not exactly the question to want to ask at this point, due to the last comments but it’s one in which I have asked many times before. But, hypothetically speaking, for whatever reason given, you had only 2 minutes left on this Earth. What would be your last words and to whom would you say them too?

David

Well, isn’t this the easiest question to answer. Okay, so it’s fourth down and I’m deep in my own end zone. I guess I’d look up at the sky and ask God for another two minutes, so those clouds that I’m waiting for to move into that great landscape I’m trying to take a picture of show up.

- Now, if I could talk to the Big Guy, I’d tell Him I’m sorry we all screwed up His garden down here—and then I’d ask Him if aliens exist. I need to know.

{Ellie smiles}

Ellie

What an epic walk into the unknown. Not only do you not lose yourself in the inevitability, but you would apologise and ask one of the most awesome questions we’re still yet to find out; Are we alone in the universe?

Ellie

What came first the chicken or the egg?

David

This has always intrigued me—it’s the ultimate paradox. It’s like asking, “Where does the universe end?” It can’t go on forever, but it can’t be finite—our minds can’t reconcile it. I think the human heart is like a paradox. It wants what it wants, but it can’t always have it, which seems utterly unjust—and utterly inconceivable. Doesn’t everyone deserve to be happy?

Ellie

Yes we do hun, yes we do.

Ellie

Are you into Astrology?

David

No. But I’m seriously into astronomy. There’s nothing more relaxing and more mind-blowing than a deep summer’s night of stargazing. It really stirs the soul.

Ellie

Do you believe in Fate & Destiny?

(Fate as in ‘how you end up’. And Destiny as in ‘where you end up’)

David

You know, I like to believe in both, and it comes from personal experience. Long story short, I’ve had brushes with death on more than a few occasions. VERY close brushes. Each time I was spared. The Fates spared me for my Destiny, which is to accomplish my goal—to be a successful writer. This might all sound very cliché, but you asked.

Ellie

It’s so uncanny how we’ve shared similar accounts, David. I’ve been dealt some pretty crappy cards in my life. I’ve had a few near death experiences and still I’m here, still sieving my way through life to find what it is I’m supposed to do, meant to do. Touché

Ellie

So do you believe we’ll be able to accomplish ‘Time-Travel’ one day?

David

If we don’t blow ourselves up, yes—it’s inevitable that we’ll accomplish incredible things. The reality is, we won’t get there. I don’t want to sound pessimistic, but I firmly believe that we’ll ultimately put ourselves out of the picture. We don’t know how to handle progress or technology. There’s a line in Terminator 2 that I have never forgotten:

“It’s in your nature to destroy yourselves.” James Cameron nailed it.

Ellie

One of my favourite quotes, also. So with that last question, theoretically we don’t destroy ourselves, how long do you think it’ll be before we get it?

David

Okay, you’re putting me on the spot here. Assuming we don’t end up in smoke, given the pace of computing advances (Moore’s law), the fact that Star Trek will happen (how else could we have had II, III, IV, V, and VI?), and that eggheads have already teleported light particles … well, probably by the 24^th century—because the Borg did it.

{Ellie Laughs}

Ellie

Also a Star Trek Fan, love it!

{They laugh together}

Ellie

So we’ve done time travel, let’s say we accomplish that and you want to go back; what advice would you give your 18 year old self if you could go back for only 30 minutes?

David

Do what you love. Take risks. Never regret. And finally, go to California and find a guy named Steve Jobs and give him $1,000 as start-up money.

Ellie

What are your favourite; Music

David

Classical and Jazz/ Classic Rock/ New Country is really growing on me.

Ellie

What inspired you to be a writer?

David

Ellie

How long have you been writing?

David

My whole life. My oldest brother used to bring my stories to his friends at university—they couldn’t believe it when he told them they were written by a ten-year-old. Apparently, my deep-rooted insanity started at a young age.

{David laughs Ellie chuckles}

Ellie

Do you have any other talents other than writing?

David

I juggle. No, really, I do. Photography, sure, and graphic design as you know, but I also do a lot of vocal impressions. “Doh!” See? I just nailed Homer Simpson.

{Ellie laughs}

Ellie

Good one!

Ellie

How dear to you is your writing?

David

How dear is your right arm? It’s part of me, like breathing. I love creating magic on the page. But writing’s also a nasty, vile demon. I think for most writers, we need that demon to keep us going. If it came easy, we wouldn’t be true to it.

Ellie

So you’ll deffo write for the rest of your life then?

David

I can’t stop writing any more than I could stop making images. Neither will stop until they pry camera and pen from my cold, dead hands.

Ellie

Do you ever run dry of ideas?

David

I’ve always got ideas. Some good. Some great. Some I’d rather forget. But there’s always something stirring up there. My mind races a million miles a minute. My brain never rests. It’s thinking of ten things at once, 24/7. I don’t know why that is—or what it is—but it’s a nice thing to have.

Ellie

How would you feel if one day, you suddenly discovered you had lost your ability to write?

David

Yikes.

Nuff said!

{Ellie chuckles}

David

It would be very empty, creatively. I’d still have photography, right? Tell me I’d still have photography. Or is that the next question?

{Ellie laughs}

Ellie

No you still have photography

{David sighs in relief}

Ellie

If you could have written any book in the world, by any author; what would it be and why?

David

That’s a tough one—probably the toughest yet. But you know, The Five People You Meet In Heaven is right up there. It’s a masterpiece from Mitch Albom. You can’t read that book without going, “My God, this is a work of art.”

Ellie

Will deffo go look at that one.

Ellie

Do you write anything else like besides books: (poetry/ music/ songs/ scripts etc…?)

David

Well, I do write taglines and book blurbs for other authors. I’ve got a knack for writing blurbs that snap. Most writers would rather have a root canal than write a book blurb, and I don’t blame them. It really is its own art form. I mean, taking your 300-page baby and condensing into three crisp sentences—please, bring on the dentist chair.

Ellie

What are your hobbies?

David

Astronomy. Love the stars. Reading—I read everything. History, science, art, news, whatever—if it’s in print and I’ve got it in my hands, I’m reading it. I love sports, playing them, watching them. Rollerblading is always a blast.

Ellie

Can you write on demand or under pressure?

{David laughs}

David

Writing is pressure. If there’s no pressure, there’s no magic.

Ellie

What is your favorite genre to write in?

David

I write thrillers and horror, but comedy is right up there. Having said that, I’m not bound by convention—I cross boundaries as a story needs it. If you look at Velvet Rain, you’ll find it has all the elements of a classic tragedy and a deeply moving love story, with sci-fi, thriller, and horror elements.

Ellie

And fav to read?

David

Horror and Thrillers. Although to me, they’re one and the same. It’s a fine line.

{David smiles}

Ellie

What are you reading now?

David

A Tale of Two Cities. It’s good to go back to the classics now and then.

{Ellie smiles}

Ellie

Who are some of your favourite Authors?

David

Clive Barker/ Stephen King & Mitch Albom.

Ellie

Books

David

A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens/ In Cold Blood by Truman Capote/ Weaveworld by Clive Barker/ Tuesday’s With Morrie by Mitch Albom.

Ellie

What is your favorite food(s)?

David

Cereal. I eat it every single day.

Ellie

What is your favourite food(s) to cook?

David

Cereal. But I tend to overcook it/ Pasta, and anything with chicken.

Ellie

Oh my god the more we go on your started to sound like me

{Ellie laughs}

Ellie

And something you’d like to cook but haven’t yet?

David

Cheerios Soufflé. Multigrain Cheerios, of course. Plain Cheerios would be just plain silly.

Ellie

When you eat out, what cuisine would you normally go for?

David

I hardly ever eat beef, but now and then I just have to skip the Veggie Burger and sink my teeth into a real juicy work-of-art from South St. Burger. They ROCK.

Ellie

So now we’re officially on questions to do with your work now hun…

{Ellie claps like a seal and laughs, David finds this amusing with a smile}

Ellie

Okay, so tell us about the Books we’re here today to talk about, David?

David

Velvet Rain is a thriller. I would liken this story to King’s The Green Mile. While the stories are utterly different, the spirit of the books is very similar. You have these heroic, tragic characters that want nothing more than to be just like the rest of us, but know in their hearts that they’ll never be free of their curse. The real magic is the arc between a tortured soul, Kain Richards, and the delicate fabric of the lives of those he touches. While certainly a thriller, the book is, at its heart, a deeply moving story with a life lesson.

Fosgate’s Game is a supernatural novella. It’s very Hitchcockian. I’ve always been a big fan of old TV shows like the original The Twilight Zone and Rod Serling’s Night Gallery. Another favorite was Spielberg’s Amazing Stories. This story is most definitely in that vein, harking back to an old-time ghost story told round the campfire. It’s a fun, dark piece that fans of those kinds of shows will appreciate.

Ellie

Velvet Rain takes place in the 1950s and early 1960s. Is there any reason the story was written for that time period?

David

For me, a lot of the power of this story comes from the period. It was a simpler time, a precursor to the upheaval of the sexual revolution, the war in Vietnam, the oil embargo of the 1970s, all of the ugliness we see today on our 24/7 news channels. I wanted to keep the focus of the story on the characters. It’s all too easy with a story like this to let it get carried off by references to the web and computers and all of today’s unnecessary distractions. The story is about complex, yet simple, people, and their spirit should reflect their times.

Secondly, since the story deals with very graphic, and very real, situations, I didn’t want the story to come across as just more of today’s brutality. Back then, topics that are presented in the novel were utterly taboo and swept under the dinner table—but these things did happen. Velvet Rain takes these on in that context with great respect.

Ellie

A lot of readers have commented at how intense Velvet Rain is. Were you ever tempted to pull punches or skirt an issue?

David

Never. I wanted people to see the reality of what a real-life monster looks like in the flesh. Brikker is evil, pure and simple. But more importantly, he’s real—as real as those running the camps during the Holocaust. To hold him back with kid gloves not only lessens the impact of the story, it lessens the message: Evil exists.

Now, there are those who might say I’ve gone too far. I completely respect that. But I’ve also read real-life accounts of the Holocaust that are equally, if not far more, disturbing. Does a documented case of real-life torture get a special pass over fiction? I beg to differ.

Moreover, the graphic scenes are not gratuitous violence for the sake of violence. In those particular parts of the novel, the violence is deeply entwined within the context of the story—those scenes are truly telling, revealing just as big a part of the story as anything else.

Ellie

Are there lessons to be learned in Velvet Rain?

David

The story brings a lot of issues to light, particularly the human fear of what—or who—we don’t understand. But if there’s one overriding theme I want readers to realize, it’s this: We can all be heroes to someone.

Ellie

So you’re an Indie Author, what was it like for you, to publish your first book?

David

No words do it justice. To have worked so long on something and finally see it to fruition—you can’t describe the elation. I think every author would say the same thing. For people who work so very hard at coming up with the right words, it’s an irony that not one of us could really describe it.

Ellie

What was it?

David

Velvet Rain was the first.

Ellie

David

Ellie

What genre is your work mainly ventured in, do you tend to stay in the same vein or are you hoping (if not already) to explore new ventures?

David

I tend to write in the horror and thriller genre, but I’m never going to limit myself—I don’t see why I should. Even within a story, I’ll cross any genre boundary if that’s what the story calls for.

Ellie

Have you ever or do you ever find yourself a struggling writer?

David

Writing is pain. It’s always a struggle. I need that struggle to keep me sharp and drive me forward. It’s no different than the characters I write about. They have pain. They have struggles. Defeat is not an option.

{They laugh together}

Ellie

And is it hard to come up with ideas and plots?

David

That’s part of the pain, part of the struggle. But honestly, as a character-driven writer, I probably have an easier time coming up with plots than if I was a plot-driven writer. For me, stories have to come out of the characters naturally, and when you get inside a character’s head the way I do, living their wants and their fears, coming up with challenges is much, much easier.

Ellie

How about characters? Are they easily born and developed in your world of creativity?

David

My characters are never easily born. I research them to death, and by the time I’m ready to put pen to page, they’re as real to me as you are.

Ellie

Do you ever get random moments when you suddenly get ideas flying at you in all directs?

{David laughs}

David

My brain is stuck on overdrive. I swear I have a condition or something. I’m constantly bombarded with thoughts on ten different channels at once, and it never stops. It’s probably why I don’t sleep well. I run on empty all the time.

{David laughs again}

Ellie

How do you hang onto them?

David

I write stuff down.

Ellie

Who was/is the easiest Character to write?

David

In Velvet Rain, the twisted Doctor Brikker was easy—and very hard. When I write, I almost get into a trance-like state when I’m putting words to the page, and with Brikker, I had to climb inside the mind of pure evil. That was a tough thing to do, but only in the sense that it was difficult to write about the vile things that he does. But in the end, once I submitted to his evil, the character came easy. Still, the guy scares the shit out of me.

Ellie

Who was/is the hardest character to write?

David

It turned out to be the main character, Kain Richards. He has a lot of depth. He’s very real. People who’ve read the story and know me well have said, “You know, you’re Kain, you know that?” I laughed it off, but time is the great teacher. Looking at it objectively now, yes, there are a lot of similarities, the least of which is the long hair.

{They laugh together}

Ellie

Are any of your characters (In either of your books) based on real people?

David

Well, Brikker would certainly fit in with the likes of Josef Mengele. I mean, the guy is as twisted and evil as Mengele was, and his means just as so. It’s not a coincidence—Velvet Rain is a period piece, and Brikker most definitely emerged from the horrors of the Holocaust. He was there.

Ellie

Do you have a favourite character(s)?

David

In Velvet Rain, my favorite character is Kain. He’s got such depth to him, but he’s so perfectly flawed. Brikker is another favorite, of course. Being the bad guy, he’s expected to be flawed—but the thing about Brikker is his humanity. He’s dark, he’s evil, he’s powerful. But he knows his limitations, and is deathly afraid of Kain Richards.

In Fosgate’s Game, while Fosgate is the quintessential English bastard with no issues with morality, it’s his foil, Chadwick, who makes the story work. Chadwick is everyone who has ever felt trapped in a situation that seems utterly hopeless, no matter which decision seems the right one.

In other books and movies, I have a lot of favorite characters. Sherlock Holmes. Jean-Luc Picard. Dirty Harry. Indiana Jones. I love iconic characters.

Ellie

Without giving anything away from your books too much!

What is/are your favourite scene(s) in one of your books?

David

I love the opening scene of Velvet Rain. We see the pain and the loneliness that this unnamed drifter endures. As a man on the run, we can’t help but feel for what his tortured life has become. Leaving him nameless throughout the scene says a lot about his character, and how he feels about himself. To him, he just exists in this hell that won’t end.

Later in the book during a flashback to Kain as a child, there’s a telling moment when he’s with his grandfather. It’s a tragic scene where Kain realizes for the first time that this apparent gift is not something to be trifled with. It really defines the rest of his life.

Ellie

Have you ever trashed a piece or complete piece of work before someone read it? Feeling it wasn’t good enough?

David

It was King who said, “If it’s bad, kill it.” The danger in killing your babies is that they’re your babies. You have to be brutal. You have to be cold. Having said that, my work as a photographer has served me well in this regard. Photography is no different than writing—they both tell a story, and the best images tell the best stories. I’m always pushing myself further to make the best image possible, and just as I would never show anyone an image I’m not happy with, I would never tell someone a story that doesn’t work for me.

Ellie

Do you have a ritual before writing?

David

I have an old 1905 Underwood near my desk. It’s a big, beat-up beast that probably pumped out a thousand stories in its time. I like to think it holds limitless stories, and I always run my fingers over the keys before I sit down at the computer. Sure it’s crazy, but so am I.

Ellie

Do you have a special place or time to write?

David

I write when I write. I’m a disciplined person, but creativity can’t be constrained to a schedule. My brain doesn’t work that way. Sometimes I’ll go days or weeks without writing, and then I’ll write. I can’t force it. I won’t force it. I’ve learned that if the words aren’t there that day, it’s best to get up and do something else. I let the subconcious figure itself out, and it always does.

Ellie

Writers often spend their time researching.

Do you visit specific locations on the web or places?

{David laughs}

David

You might say that. I spent two years researching the characters, backgrounds, and time period of Velvet Rain. That was before I wrote a single word. It’s a period piece, and you have to get it right. Being a history nut, I was fortunate in that I knew where to look. Still, there was one stretch where I had to find someone who spoke a certain dialect of the Sioux language—not an easy task, believe me. It took me months to track down a gentleman in the U.S. who could translate one simple phrase for me.

Ellie

Do you ever get Writers-block?

David

Every writer does. It’s natural. My God, we’re not gods—although King is pretty close. That guy cranks out words like there’s ten of him writing at the same time.

Ellie

How do you overcome it?

David

The first step is admitting you have a problem. {laughs} At that point, you have to learn to walk away and do something else. Beating yourself up won’t solve it. Let your mind rest. It’ll figure things out.

Ellie

How long does it take you to complete a book?

David

I’m a turtle. Velvet Rain took years to research and write. My stories have a lot of depth and complexity to them, but in the end, I think the work speaks for itself. A lot of people have said that they get whisked away by my stories, and that they really feel a loss when it ends. After all that work, that’s the best praise they could give me.

Ellie

How much down-time do you have in between projects?

David

None. I have no life.

{David laughs}

Ellie

Who or what has been your biggest literary influence?

David

There are really three writers that stand out, and here’s what I’ve learned from them:

Mitch Albom taught me to say so much in so little.

Clive Barker taught me to imagine—and then to imagine more.

Stephen King taught me the art of the story—how to lie your ass off and make them believe.

{Ellie smiles}

Ellie

I love Stephen King, don’t need reasons, it’s in his name.

Ellie

If your book(s) had a soundtrack who would create your Soundtrack

David

Thomas Newman did an amazing score for King’s The Green Mile. His score for The Shawshank Redemption always chills me. He has a gift of capturing the essence of a story. Trust me, when Frank Darabont gets a hold of Velvet Rain, he’ll have Thomas Newman do the score.

{They laugh together}

Ellie

Well here’s to the success on that. Don’t forget me when you’re rich, rich, RICH!

Ellie

So with the soundtrack in mind again, would it be Motion Picture or Score?

David

Definitely a score. Velvet Rain is so similar in spirit to stories like The Green Mile and The Shawshank Redemption, it would simply beg for a score, just as those films do.

Ellie

So when it’s turned into movie/film what actors/actresses would you have to play your characters?

David

Velvet Rain was written like a movie—in fact, all of my stories unfold like a movie. I’m a very visual person, and it comes through in my writing. Having said that, I often write with actors in my mind. It helps me focus.

I’ve always seen Hugh Jackman playing Kain. He just seems to fit the role perfectly.

For Brikker, I see Bob Gunton, the warden from The Shawshank Redemption. The man can scare the crap out of you with a grin.

For Lynn Bishop, I see Jodie Foster. She’s always had that sensibility and natural beauty that the role calls for.

Ellie

So what’s up next for you, David?

David

I’m finishing up a supernatural thriller, The Dark. It’s a story about a little boy who learns that everything has a price.

Ellie

Of all the books/ stories you have written, which is your favourite?

David

Velvet Rain. It’s a story that’s very dear to me. Not because it was the first book I published, but because of the story itself. I love a great tragic hero, and Kain Richards ranks right up there.

Ellie

You want to share anything with us, a quote of wisdom

David

“Keep your foot on the gas and your eye on the road. You’ll get there.”

Ellie

And the last thing I would like you to do if that is okay? can you give us a few words to your readers and potential new readers about your books/ work…

David

For all of those readers who have read my work, thank you. For those of you who have gone the extra mile and written such wonderful reviews as my books have received, another level of thanks is due. Reviews and word-of-mouth is the lifeblood for any author, and your ongoing support is so very much appreciated.

I try to write the best damn stories that I can, taking you to places that you’ll always remember. Nothing gives me a bigger kick than someone telling me they’ve read one of my stories and it had a real impact on them. To me, that’s gold.

And, Danni, I’d like to thank you too for such a wonderful time here, and for this opportunity to reach out to readers. If they’d like, they can purchase Velvet Rain from Amazon, and download Fosgate’s Game for free. Happy reading to all!

Fabulous interview, David, although that's hardly a surprise. You're easily one of the funniest and most talented people I know.
Unknown8 February 2014 at 17:42
Totally agree with you both. It's been amazing getting to know you all. :)
Unknown9 February 2014 at 18:15
