Fresh Face Friday: Bonus Mini Interview & Giveaway w/ Nathan Wrann

YES! A Fresh Face Friday bonus!

What better way to start off a Friday then with an awesome Interview & Giveaway?

So I figured that I'd ask Nathan a few questions so you guys could get to know him a little bit better :)

 If you weren't an author, what would be your dream profession?

 I would be a filmmaker. As a matter of fact, I'm currently on hiatus from film making (I have two super low budget films under my belt already, HUNTING SEASON and BURNING INSIDE and Dark Matter Heart is based on an original, unproduced screenplay that I wrote in 2005) because I don't currently have the resources (time, money) to pursue it at the level that I would like. I still want to continue to tell stories and writing novels and short stories allows me to do that without the massive money investment (and risk) involved in film making. Once I'm on my feet and established as an author I'll split my attention between writing and film making. I'd also like to go back to producing and directing for the stage as well. Ultimately I'd like to be able to do all three. As soon as I have the resources to do it at the level that it demands, my short film adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher is ready to shoot.

What: Dark Matter Heart (A Cor Griffin: Bloodsucker Novel)

A new town.

Warp It Up - July

I must say that after the completely hideous month that I had in June, July was a HUGE turn around!
Though I didn't read as many I was wanted to, I still got out of my rut and started a reading fire.

Here's how it went:

Purchase Info: Amazon, Barnes & Noble

A new town.

A new school.

A new beginning.

Seventeen year-old Cordell Griffin and his mother move from Los Angeles to the Pacific Northwest to deal with his "allergies," and start a healthier new life. Cor has one goal: To blend in and be invisible. Unfortunately for him, no matter how far he goes, he can't run away from his secrets. Secrets about who he is. Secrets about why he's sick. And secrets about why so many people he meets end up dead, drained of blood.

 So, going into this book I was thinking that it might be a typical vampire read. Thankfully I was wrong.

Yes, Cor prefers to come out at night.

Yes, he has to drink blood to live.

But he's not 100% sure that he actually IS a vampire, and that's what I loved!
