DInosaur Ghost Interview

INTERVIEWER: What inspired you to write Dinosaur Ghost?

VARICELLA: Liberal rage.

INTERVIEWER: I knew it!

VARICELLA: It's true. I wanted to take my frustration with republican party nonsense and transform it into something wicked and funny. I found the experience cathartic.

INTERVIEWER: Aren't you worried about alienating half your audience?

VARICELLA: No, I was operating under the assumption that republicans don't read.

INTERVIEWER: So you don't fear a conservative backlash?

VARICELLA: As Donald Trump says, all publicity is good publicity.

INTERVIEWER: But you don't actually want to see republicans eaten by dinosaurs, do you?

VARICELLA: Of course not. Some of my closest friends and family members are conservatives. Please remember, no republicans were harmed in the making of this book.

INTERVIEWER: I'll try to remember that.

VARICELLA: Good.

INTERVIEWER: Dinosaur Ghost marks the second time you've written a novella in which a person has sex with a dinosaur. (The other being the romance parody, The Oiliest Secret.) What's up with that?

VARICELLA: I'm pretty sure I invented dinosaur erotica.

INTERVIEWER: Neither story is very erotic.

VARICELLA: Oh, then never mind.

INTERVIEWER: So, why did you do it?

VARICELLA: I wrote both books at the same time--alternating chapters--and they ended up merging into one book with that scene as the climax. I eventually separated the two stories and made a few changes, but that aspect remained.

INTERVIEWER: Any plans to continue exploring that theme in the future?

VARICELLA: Nope. I think it's all out of my system.

INTERVIEWER: So what are you working on now?

VARICELLA: I always have several projects in the works. I'm about to publish three horror stories as an eBook under the title Split. I'm also working on a humorous novel about a southerner who is brought back from the dead by a deranged medical school dropout. It's called Frankenbubba. Another is a mainstream novel called Blood Cries.

INTERVIEWER: Thanks for talking with me.

VARICELLA: My pleasure
