I’ve had people tell me they are between books, looking for something new to read; a new author, a new genre. There are more writers than ever before: More good writers, more not so good writers. The choices of things to read are enormous. The purpose of interviewing a writer is to give you, the reader, a chance to hear from the writer directly, to hear the writer’s own voice. So here’s Hunter Goss who spent most of his working life in what is probably the most obscure and unglamorous corner of the fashion world: making finished leather and selling it to shoe and accessories manufacturers. Now he writes.
What is your philosophy of writing?
First and foremost, to come up with a story that will entertain. I like for my stories to deal with issues that everyone can relate to, so I try to have characters that have a lot of things going for them, but at the same time have doubts and insecurities. That way there’s a kind of discovery and learning process that goes on over the course of a story.
I like to use allegory, too, so that characters are dealing with things we find it difficult to discuss in the real world. And that’s very much the case with Night Market. Right now, our financial markets are trying to recover from a situation that, at least on the surface, is very much like the Panic of 1907. And just like 1907, people look at it and say it was all Wall Street’s fault so that was a good place to start.
What’s the name and genre of you book and who is the audience for it?
Night Market is the title, and since I mash up genres, I call it a Historical/Paranormal suspense. People who might want a change of pace from the more customary kinds of vampire stories. In Night Market, the vampires aren’t angst-ridden or tragic. They’re adult, they’re predatory, and not in the least ashamed of who they are. They’re capitalists, too, which these days probably makes them even more scary. But if you’re well traveled, have a sense of history, have a collection of cultural references banging about in your head, like stock markets and finance, food and wine, and even conspiracy theories, then you should be reading Night Market.
Is this book part of a series?
Night Market is the first in a series that will follow protagonists Andrew Kirkland and Veronica Fontera from the turn of the twentieth century right up to today.
Describe your protagonist, physically and emotionally, and describe the challenges the protagonist needs to overcome and the motivation for overcoming them.
Andrew Kirkland is twenty-six years old in Night Market. He’s tall, athletic and in appearance resembles his boyhood hero Wyatt Earp. He grew up on dime novels of the Old West, played football for Harvard and has a definite sense of right and wrong. Andrew’s sense of fair play is simultaneously his greatest strength and his biggest weakness and more than once, enemies attempt to take advantage of it. Andrew has to learn how to exist in a world where there are varying shades of grey without compromising his core set of ethics and beliefs.
Andrew’s co-protagonist is Veronica Fontera, a curvy Italian born over 400 years ago in Venice. I also made her an anomaly for her time in that she’s tall, symbolically making her Andrew’s equal. She grew up in an environment where scheming and subtlety were the norm and took up so much time and effort that ethics and goals were sometimes lost in the shuffle. It was a time when an elegant plot was the end in and of itself which fits her predatory personality, forged by a defining moment in her human life, really well. Veronica’s big challenge is to move beyond the grudge she’s held for four centuries while at the same time keeping the best parts of her predatory nature.
A sub-plot that runs through this and the other stories I have planned for them will eventually allow both of these characters to evolve in some surprising ways.
Describe your antagonist, physically and emotionally, and talk about motivation.
The villain in Night Market is an Austro-Hungarian vampire, Josef Graf von Borbek; ‘Graf’ being his title, the German equivalent of Baron. Borbek is an aesthetic looking Austrian who was a military leader in human life during the Thirty Years’ War of 1618-1548. He has a facial scar, but unlike Austrian and German nobles of the early 20th century, he came by his not in a student dueling society, but the hard way. In battle.
