I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Rhiannon for the past few months. So far, I’ve seen her go from a little-known author to someone who’s up in the Amazon charts with several other recognizable authors.
Her website biography says:
As a little girl, Rhiannon Frater was always afraid of the things that may lurk in the dark. It was not until her mother gave her an electric typewriter at the age of twelve, that she decided it was better to write about the monsters than be afraid of them. She wrote compulsively from then on and did a good job wrecking her wrist from her endlessly scribbling in class when she should have been paying attention.
As an adult, she was a columinist for The Edge Magazine covering the Goth/Industrial scene in Central Texas. She also interviewed the legendary Petery Murphy of Bauhaus fame for the cover of Reloaded Monthly.
Then, on a whim, she wrote a zombie short story and posted it to two online forums. The response was overwhelmingly positive. She kept adding to the story for the next two years as she drove the backroads of Texas for her day job as a governmental consultant to rural communities. She discovered old towns full of rich histories and offbeat characters. Her travels fueled her story and reminded her of all the reasons she loves being a Texan.
Now, let’s see how Rhiannon answered the questions I sent her.
