Steve & Melanie Tem Talk on “The Man on the Ceiling”
Over at Storytellers Unplugged, Janet Berliner has taken a heavy deadline and turned it into her gift to us all…she convinced multiple award-winning authors Steve & Melanie Tem to do a joint essay on their writing process, and their upcoming novel from Wizards of the Coast.
“In March, Wizards of the Coast Discoveries will be releasing the novel-length reimagining of their multi-award-winning novella “The Man On The Ceiling.” Publisher’s Weekly has already praised as “This visceral, psychological view of the horrors that occur in an average person’s life will draw in readers with delicate, exquisitely detailed and almost hypnotic language.” In honor of that, Steve and Melanie offer a back-and-forth on why writers write what they write, whatever you want to call it.” READ THE ESSAY!
Meanwhile, I’ve revised the first twelve of the thirteen chapters I’ve completed of my novel “Gideon’s Curse,” a chunk of which will become a stand-alone novella for my upcoming Dark Regions Press collection, ENNUI & OTHERS STATES OF MADNESS. I intend to title the novella “The Preacher’s Marsh,” and I’m pretty excited, because it’s some of my best work ever. More on this later.

Um, the preacher’s marsh is where I buried the bodies. You’re not supposed to know that.

I think of all my books, Marky, you’ll like this one best….not sure EXACTLY why, but I have that feeling. Don’t worry…in the NOVEL the bodies get back up…
