Interview with Christopher Moore

[Hastur]

Woooo!!!!!!

Christopher Moore, author of Blood Sucking Fiends, Practical Demonkeeping, Coyote Blue and Island of the Sequined Love Nun has agreed to give us an interview for our story board.

Now, the rules are very, very, very, simple:

What have you always dreamed of asking him? This goes double for his being a successful author. Do you know who he is? If not, read the bloody books!

Please post all the questions you would like to ask him here, on the board. I will be collecting them, collating them, and within a week or two will have a full scale Interview with the Author for your insight, pleasure, and general information.

Hopefully, this will become a regular feature of the ChudStories board (interviews with good authors, that is). Meanwhile, have fun, and get those questions cracking!

Please note: Christopher Moore will only answer the questions he wants to answer. You can ask anything you like, but he will edit as he sees fit. Thanks.

Is Practical Demonkeeping headed for the big screen?

Terribly entertaining book.

Peace.

Since you seem to make it a point of tackling a different sci-fi or fantasy staple in nearly every book (vampires, Native American myths, demons), are there any mainstays of those genres that you haven't had any luck bringing your style to? Mummies, for instance? Or cannibalistic humanoid underground dwellers?

Do you have a laundry list of those staples that you work off of or do you just happen to come up with stories that fit into those science-fiction/fantasy archetypes?

[Hastur]

Since my ISP demonstrated their lack of Customer service over the weekend, I am leaving this open until 07/03/2002. I'll be sending him the list then, so let me know if there is anything else you want to ask!

Excellent interview, Hastur! Glad to see my questions get some play.

He doesn't sound as funny as I would have expected, though. Did you find that to be the case in talking to him, as well?

Can't speak for her, but when we had him at a con, he was quietly funny. Very good with smartass answers to dumb questions, getting in there with a sarcastic comment every now & then, but not the life of the party. I get the feeling he's kinda shy, really, but when you're an author, you have to pimp your work.
