Q & A with D.G. Kaye

New Series: Q and A with D.G. Kaye and Promote Your Book – Featuring James J. Cudney

Published on by

Welcome to the first author interview in my new author interview series: –Q and A with D.G, Kaye and Promote Your Book.

I’m thrilled to introduce my first guest, author James J. Cudney IV to this series. Jay is going to share a bit about himself and his writing, as well as an excerpt for his newest release – Haunted Ghost House, Book 5 in his Braxton Campus Mysteries.

 

James J. Cudney IV

 

About the Author

James is my given name, but most folks call me Jay. I live in New York City, grew up on Long Island, and graduated from Moravian College. I spent fifteen years building a technology career in the retail, sports, media, and entertainment industries. I enjoyed my job, but a passion for books and stories had been missing for far too long. I’m a voracious reader in my favorite genres (thriller, suspense, contemporary, mystery, and historical fiction), as books transport me to a different world where I can immerse myself in so many fantastic cultures and places. I’m an avid genealogist who hopes to visit all the German, Scottish, Irish, and British villages my ancestors emigrated from in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Writing has been a part of my life as much as my heart, my mind, and my body. I decided to pursue my passion by dusting off the creativity inside my head and drafting outlines for several novels. I quickly realized I was back in my element growing happier and more excited with life each day. My goal in writing is to connect with readers who want to be part of great stories and who enjoy interacting with authors. To get a strong picture of who I am, check out my author website or my blog. It’s full of humor and eccentricity, sharing connections with everyone I follow—all in the hope of building a network of friends across the world.

When I completed the first book, Watching Glass Shatter, I knew I’d stumbled upon my passion again, suddenly dreaming up characters, plots, and settings all day long. I chose my second novel, Father Figure, through a poll on my blog where I let everyone vote for their favorite plot and character summaries. It is with my third book, Academic Curveball, the first in the Braxton Campus Mysteries, where I immersed myself in a college campus full of so much activity, I could hardly stop thinking about new murder scenes or character relationships to finish writing the current story. I can’t believe I’m already writing the sixth book in this series. Come join in the fun…

Blurb:

It’s Halloween, and excitement is brewing in Braxton to carve jack-o’-lanterns, go on haunted hayrides, and race through the spooky corn maze at the Fall Festival. Despite a former occupant’s fervent warnings, Kellan renovates and moves into a mysterious old house. When a ruthless ghost promises retribution, our fearless professor turns to the eccentric town historian and an eerie psychic known for her explosive predictions, to communicate with the apparition.

Construction workers discover a fifty-year-old skeleton after breaking ground on the new Memorial Library wing. Could it be Prudence, Judge Hiram Grey’s first wife, who disappeared during a fiery Vietnam War protest that destroyed parts of the campus? While Kellan and April dance around the chemistry sparking between them, a suspicious accident at the Fall Festival leaves Hiram in a coma and another dead body to investigate. Kellan’s research digs up a tale of horror and pain about the true history and dastardly connections of the Grey family, forcing April to accelerate her plan to capture the elusive killer and placate the revenge-seeking ghost.

 

Jay is generously sharing an excerpt with us:

 

Excerpt: Haunted House Ghost

 

             Hunkering behind a weathered, illegible headstone in Wellington Cemetery’s oldest and scariest graveyard, I remained silent and stationary amidst a slew of exhumed corpses. Though surrounded by slender, tall white pines, a gnarly and knotty willow tree’s sweeping canopy of dying branches furtively brushed my neck. After an onslaught of howling winds furiously whipped my quivering skin, I peered over the loosened tomb marker and gawked at the mounds of freshly flung dirt. Why had a ruthless monster dug up so many coffins near the Grey mausoleum?

Skulking two rows away, the determined villain’s soulless eyes glowed like burning coal. The chilling tone of St. Mary’s somber church bells blasted—midnight’s fortuitous arrival. Its ominous beckoning prompted my unsteady feet to falter, crunching a pile of decaying leaves and foolishly revealing my secret location. Suddenly enshrouded in fog and hovering near the nameless gravestone, the rogue’s flowing black and gray robes resembled billowing smoke from an overworked chimney. “I hear you breathing, Ayrwick. Come out, come out wherever you are. I’m not finished with this game.”

“I don’t know who you are, but your obsession with me has spiraled out of control.” As an aloof moon cast an eerie luminosity, I cursed my new modern, sporty aviator eyeglasses for clouding over. Apparition or figment of an overwrought imagination, I couldn’t be certain; nor did I care at that moment. “You can’t be real. My mind is playing tricks on me.”

The ethereal bogeyman glided inches above the churchyard’s hallowed ground. The soles of its feet would vaporize upon stepping in the sacred dirt of the meandering pathways. “Are you ready to die?” the menacing, shrill voice taunted while hunting and cornering me in the darkness of my desolate hiding spot—the cold, melancholy resonance frightening all the bats, owls, and other nightlife creatures into hurried seclusion. The masked phantom narrowed a sinister gaze and brandished a mammoth-sized, razor-sharp scythe that cut swiftly through the crisp air and aimed with precision for my neck.

My arms felt like Jell-O as I struggled to push the heavy cement slab to the ground, then jumped feet first into a vacant grave with my hands and arms protecting my soon-to-be decapitated head. The stealthy tormentor cackled wildly and seized my forearm with an uncannily strong and bony grip, delivering a shot of pure ice that raced through my veins and barreled toward my erratically beating heart. My body froze as though a glacier engulfed and preserved me for all eternity.

 

A Fantastic Early Review:

 

Laura
5.0 out of 5 starsReview of Haunted House Ghost

September 9, 2019

Format: Paperback

 

I’ve asked Jay to choose 5 questions to answer for us so we can get to know a little more about him and his writing.

 

What’s the worst part of publishing for you and why?

Marketing! I am not a natural marketer or networker. I’m shy. I’m quiet. I’m
an introvert. Social media and online marketing are my salvation because I can
accomplish it from behind the Internet wall. I’m attending my first book
conference this fall where I will have to interact live with readers. It’s scary… yet I
know once I’m there, it will be fine. I ran a 100+ technology organization in my
former life, leading meetings with hundreds of people and interacting with every
level of executive and entry-level worker. The issue is: I don’t like to promote
myself. My approach to life is never push someone to do something. I might
suggest why I like a book, TV show, or food, but I’ll never force it on someone. It’s
hard for me to say “you’ll love my book” because I know someone might not like
it. I also don’t want to pressure anyone into doing something they don’t want to
do. Those aren’t ideal personality traits for someone who has to self-promote
their work. I can do it in small increments but not in-person or to a larger
audience. It gets easier over time; I will admit to that.

D.G. – I can totally relate Jay. Most of us authors prefer to work behind the scenes. Public speaking terrifies me, weird, since I’m a born talker. I know you share a lot of other author’s work, and the saying goes – 80/20 is the way to go – 80% interacting and sharing of other’s and 20% we are certainly entitled to promote our work, but ‘buy my book’ is not the way.

 

What’s your opinion on self-publishing?

Self-publishing is, like most things, wonderful and painful. I tend to be a
direct guy, so I won’t sugarcoat my response. At this point, anyone can publish a
book. People who have no experience or talent can draft something, create a
cover, prepare formats, and launch a book on Amazon or another sites. Once
marketing and advertising kicks in, the book is out there. Compared to a decade
ago, the number of available books is astronomical. This has made publishing, like
many other technology-advanced fields, thoroughly flooded. Unfortunately,
readers struggle to choose which books to read (there are too many) and authors
can’t find enough reviewers or fans because of it. On the flip side, it provides so
much more opportunity and options for people to choose what’s best for them –
something that we all deserve and need to be successful.
There are positives and negatives that follow this trend… and so, I think
self-publishing is great because it offers an opportunity to talented authors who
aren’t great networkers and can’t find an agent or publisher. It also provides false
confidence to some and can create setbacks. Ultimately, as both a reader and an
author, I look outside of just the book to determine whether something is right for
me. Check the publisher’s and writer’s social media accounts, blogs, websites,
credentials… determine whether it’s a good fit for you as a person before making your decision how to proceed.

D.G. – That sounds like sound advice Jay. And yes, anyone can publish a book, but if it’s a slapped together piece of crap it’s not going to sell, and if it does, after the first terrible reviews come in, it’s no threat to better books.

 

Do you prefer to only read books in your genre?

No, I like all genres. I will add to that though… I am, at my core, a mystery
reader. I enjoy the ranges from a cozy to a hardcore thriller. I absolutely prefer
series over non-series. I like both contemporary and historical fiction, especially
when it falls within the mystery genre. I’m not an avid fan of science-fiction or
fantasy because they aren’t tangible to me. I don’t usually enjoy those types of
movies or television shows either; I need to understand the boundaries of
something I’m reading or watching. Often, in science-fiction or fantasy, anything
can happen. I’m structured and realistic in most everything I do, so I prefer the
same in my hobbies. That said, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed books from other genres,
but they are neither my normal read nor something I’ll usually accept a book
review request on. My reviews will never be as strong as the author would want
in those cases.

D.G. – It seems we have something in common. I too have a difficult time reading Fantasy or Sci-Fi, and your explanation has helped me understand better what it is that keeps me from reading. But also, as a nonfiction writer, I mostly enjoy nonfiction and historical fiction, family sagas, etc. – stories about people and their lives. But your answer – ‘they aren’t tangible’ is the best explanation.

 

What’s your favorite mode of writing – computer, hand written,
dictation, and why?

I use my laptop. I edit as I write, so often, I stop and fix things each day
from the chapters as I create the story. I would constantly be erasing and crossing
things out if I used pen and paper. My hands and fingers would probably exhaust
easily too. I can type all day, but I feel cramps in my hands if spend more than an
hour with a pen. I attempted dictation software a few times but failed. Either my
vocal tone or accent is difficult to interpret, or the software isn’t ready for prime
time. I spent more time fixing issues than necessary, so it’s easier for me to just
use a computer from the beginning. I do like to print out a semi-final version and correct it with a pencil to find issues my eyes or software can’t find on the
computer. It provides a good balance, and it shows me what it’s like for a reader
of one of my books to experience the story. I like to walk the walk and talk to talk, so to speak.

D.G. – That’s interesting, and where we differ. I’m a dinosaur writing longhand. That way I don’t stop my thoughts with editing, writing freehand. First round revisions begin when I enter in the computer. But I agree on the importance of printing out a copy to edit in a later stage because our eyes absolutely catch things differently on paper. And lol, love the phrase ‘the software isn’t ready for prime time!’ 🙂

 

If you could have any of your books made into a movie, which one
would you choose and why?

I would love to see Watching Glass Shatter, my debut novel, made into a
movie or television series. The story is told from the perspective of Olivia, a
widow, and her five adult sons. Chapters alternate between each of them,
showing readers their own personal style, voice, and opinions on their father’s
death and secrets bubbling in the background. It has the drama associated with
popular shows viewers watch today, but it also has a myriad of emotions that
people struggle with every day. The story unfolds in cliffhangers with each
chapter, which would easily become episodes. The book ends with realistic
outcomes and expectations for all the characters; it’s not just ‘we’re happy again.’
I’m midway into the sequel now, and I can definitely tell you that the lives of
these characters mirror the reality of drugs, death, affairs, abuse, fear, and
secrets. Sometimes they are minor, others they are impactful. Readers love to hate certain characters but fall hard for others.

D.G. – Oh yay! I’m excited to hear about a sequel to that book, I look forward to reading it! And I wholeheartedly agree, it would make a fantastic TV series with all the relevant factors many face in life.

  6. Good morning,

    Happy Friday! I just woke up here in NYC on Friday the 13th feeling thrilled about the onset of autumn and Halloween. I stepped onto the terrace to a chill in the air and the scent of leaves falling around me. Then, I checked my phone while brewing coffee (a necessary this early) and found our interview had posted.

    The first thing I noticed was that lovely picture of you. It’s such a classic style that truly makes you shine. I love it! I am honored to be part of your new interview series. To be there today when you kick it off, I am just plain lucky. I can’t wait to see this take off…

    It turned out wonderful. Everything shines, and your responses were a fun surprise. I’m glad we have a lot in common, even if we don’t share the same format for writing. Perhaps I should try it your way to see if it yields different results!

    I’m off to share this everywhere. I hope you have a thrilling but restful weekend. You deserve it. Congratulations on the new segment. And thank you from the depths of my gratitude.

    xoxo

  10. I love that picture Deb, you are looking fab! I had similar glasses once upon a time and when I wore them the first time in my class to teach, the looks of my students conveyed how good they looked! No one could say it though while I was teaching. 🙂
    Congratulations for this new feature at your blog and Jay’s interview tells a lot about him. I too am very bad at marketing my books, am introvert and don’t know how to approach but with friends like you and Sally, I feel blessed.
    Yes, I agree with Jay, Watching Glass Shatter is a wonderful book for a movie or T.V. series. It has so many layers and characters have their own issues to tackle. Wishing Jay all the success and thanks for sharing this lovely interview.

It seems the majority of us writers don’t prefer the marketing part of the biz but it’s a good thing we all have a wonderful community here to help promote each other. And thank for the comment about glasses, lol. So funny, I just got them a few months ago – I swear I had similar ones as my first pair when I was 9 – I hated them back then! But of course, I wasn’t as bold back then as I grew to be. And of course, glasses didn’t have fancy doohickeys on them back in the day. ❤

  13. I’m delighted to read this new interview and book promoting feature on your blog, Debby. You look marvelous and beautiful. I like your dress, or top, and your necklace. Turquoise is my favorite color because it’s my daughter’s birthstone.

    I enjoyed reading the interview and you picked great questions, Jay. I’m shy to promote my book also. I feel apologetic to push my book. I had several book signing events but it was organized by a third party.

    I write mostly with the computer because that I used computer for last 10 years of my career before retirement. When I do write with pen and paper, I crossed out and inserted constantly. I sometimes write on the notepads of iPad or phone. It makes me feel like I’m writing a diary nobody would see and I feel free to write.

    I now have about four of your books, Joy. I could feel the autumn leaving falling from the ceiling of my office when I visited your website this morning. 🙂

    Thank you again for this interview, Debby. 🙂

  27. Hi Deb, what a fantastic interview series, can you tell I’m on a catch up roll, lol?! ❤ Great Q&A, thank you for introducing a brand new blogger. Hi Jay, it's great to meet you! I really enjoyed reading your answers. Congratulations on your new book and review, I enjoyed the excerpt, perfect for this time of year with Halloween just around the corner 😉 'Watching Glass Shatter' is not only a great title, but a book that I know I would love. Deb, I read similar books to you (and a lot of true crime too lol) and totally can see what you mean, Jay, about sci fi and fantasy not 'being tangible'. In short story form I really enjoy it (like Hugh's fab collection!) but sci fi/fantasy/dystopian novels aren't for me. You've got the same writing process as me too…definitely all on the laptop but agree, printing out a copy further on for editing is a must. And the self promotion…arrrgh. I FEAR it!!! Anyway, I will go on all day, so I will wrap up. Oh..one more thing, being a Brit, would love to know which villages 🙂 Loving this series, thanks again, Deb and Jay 🙂

The question of genres made me smile – that is a good explanation of why some people don’t read SF or fantasy, and with that in mind, I am humbled and honoured that you’ve tried out my fantasy, even when it isn’t a tangible genre for you, Debby ❤

    1. Deb, you know I love your writing. My whole life I’ve always gravitated to nonfiction, documentaries and women’s fiction or chicklit for some lighter reading breaks. I also only watch the same on TV with inclusion of lawyer, medical and true crime stories. Ever in search of truth and analyzing personalities are my hobbies, so maybe that explains why I never got into Star Trek, space shows or dystopian worlds. And funny that books like Orwell’s 1984 became of interest to me last year again only ever read in high school, because of similarities to some of the politics that have evolved in the last few years. Oh ya, and Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale, well, because I guess you can figure out my train of thinking, lol. Thanks so much for visiting and leaving your interesting comment. ❤
