Caitlin Bush, Aspiring Writer


Name of book: For No More
Name of writer: Caitlin Maire
Aspiring or published: Aspiring
Book's genre: Fantasy/Paranormal


Novel Excerpt:


I looked at my old window. I looked at my parents’ window. Then I gazed over at Lucifer’s window. Then the curtains opened to reveal a face.
Lucifer’s.
He just stared at me and I stared back. There was so much hate in his eyes. Especially on his bruised face. I laughed.
He started at me like I was an idiot. Then he sneered.
I paused in the middle of my laugh and stared. His eyes widened. I hissed and crossed my neck with a finger as in “you’re going to die.”
Fear entered his eyes and I walked away, pleased.
Now to find out where I can go. Yeah, nice start. I can see my vengeance now.
Me running at his palace with a pitchfork. I step on his flowers; I chip his paint laughing hysterically. Then guards come out and pull me away. I’m thrown in jail thinking I got him good. Vengeance is sweet. Payback’s a bitch.
I love it!

Tell us about your book.


When you do something wrong you get punished. Whether you ditch school, steal a candy bar, or commit a massacre. The latter is what Iceran Bernadette (Ice) did and a punishment is what he received. He was sentenced to a small town and forced to go to school to try to control his thirst for the kill, for the blood. Away from other other creature besides his brother. Will any emotion for these humans besides anger flare? Will he be able to control himself? He better, or a world he has no knowledge of might be meeting him dead on.



Why do you write?


I write because imagination is so much better than reality. Writing helps me deal with everyday life and calms my mood.


How has writing changed your life?


Writing leads me into the inner most thoughts of my mind. Writing has lead me to my true self and has basically changed my life. I would've given up on everything long ago if I didn't have my writing to help with life.


What's an interesting/embarrassing/funny fact about your story that you haven't shared...until now?


I am embarrassed to say that I first started this book when I was thirteen and had just finished Twilight. Although my book has changed greatly since, it still pegs me to think that what I despise gave me a broad idea.

What's the worst advice you've ever been given?


I have rarely asked for advice, but when I have it has been pretty good, I guess. 


~ Now it's time for the character to get the spotlight! In this section, the author chose any character from their novel and let them answer the following interview questions. ~


Character name: Daredian Zoltar
Major character


How do you feel about your creator?


She's iight. A pretty young thing. I'd probably flirt a little then be on my way. Nah, I'd want to be her buddy though, fersure.

Where's your favorite place to be and your favorite thing to do?


Ummm...out and partying. Who doesn't like to do that? FREAKS! That's who.


What keeps you going everyday?


Mmm...besides keeping my brother in check, wooing the ladies. Gotta keep them satisfied and wanting more.

The old lady down the street is rushing at you with an Uzi. What do you do?


Trip the bitch then walk away whistling.

What's something you've never told anyone about...until now?


Well, I kind of like humans. I know us creatures mostly find them revolting, and they are, but I still like them. I don't know, I guess I rather hang out with a revolting human than a stuck up fairy.
