Q&A

When and where do you prefer to write?

Actually I don’t have a preferred time, it sometimes depends on the schedule of the day or if I’m working, I can write in the mornings or evenings

Do you need peace and quiet when you are writing?

Nope, I can write with the radio on or my husband watching telly or on the airport during busy times before da Rona happened. I always did my homework from school with the radio on and when I’m concentrating I start hearing one song and suddenly, when I’m done I realise there’s a completely different song playing – and one hour has passed

If you had the chance to co-write a book. Whom would it be with?

Ohhh, surely Thomas Harris, or Jon Bokemkamp who invented Raymond Reddington or maybe also Mark Frost who wrote one of my favourite books ever, The List Of Seven

Say someone asks if they can use your name in a book. Would you rather be the ‘good one’ or the ‘bad one’?

Always the demeted baddie!!!!

Who would you like/have liked to interview?

I was fortunate enough to interview quite a lot of great authors and horror people but the ones I’d have loved to interview are Sir Alfred Hitchcock, Karl Lagerfeld and Salvador DalI

Where can I find you when you are reading?

In summer in the garden and in winter on the couch with the moggies surrounding me

Where can I find you when you are not writing/reading?

At work 😉 – and doing household chores or scratching a cat or probably on a short trip to a nice city

What goes through your mind when you hold your new book in your hands for the first time?

That part is still defying reality, quite a supernatural moment of disbelief mixed with a dash of ‘I did it’-pride

How do you come up with a title for your book?

Ha, that’s the worst part of it all, that and the short synopsis, if I’m lucky I have an epiphany regarding the title, if not it’s teeth-grinding work

How do you pick a cover for your book?

That’s usually an effort between the author and the cover artist and I’m lucky to have had Nikki East come up with a brilliant suggestion for Descent To Hell

Thank you so much for these great questions! xx

Thank you, Nic Parker and Zooloo’s Book Tours

About the author

Nic Parker was born in 1971 and lives in a rural part of Germany with her husband and seven cats. She fell in love with England on a school trip and has been travelling to the UK frequently ever since.

She worked in various jobs, can tell a good garment from crap, can help you find the perfect bra, knows which hotels not to book and knows the tricks of the insurance industry but her favourite job is as a bookkeeper.

Her love for horror stories and anything dark and decaying developed early in her childhood with comics and the old classic movies. The 80s were the most formative years for her when she hunted every gory video nasty she could find and started reading Clive Barker. Her taste for music is still mostly stuck in this decade, as is her undying love for neon and pastel colours.

She was already writing stories as a teenager but was disheartened by people telling her that as an outsider you don’t have any chances of being published. She learned not to trust the nay-sayers and to rather follow her dreams.

Writing is pure escapism for her and she’s happiest when she can conjure up new worlds and nasty characters.

Her hobbies include reading, movies, art, gardening, cooking and travelling to meet with friends.
