Author Interview - A Cry in the Moon’s Light and Father Daniel’s Compendium of the Undead by Alan McGill


What’s your one line pitch or teaser for the book? Grab a reader’s attention with one line.

The beautiful lady in the carriage will learn that only love can defeat evil, but is it love or danger that cries out to her in the deceitful light of the moon?

Tell readers a little about your main character or characters.

The main character is a shy and demure woman commonly known as mi Lady. Her name is not revealed through much of story for reasons that become apparent later in the series. A beautiful peasant girl forced to leave her village after a tragedy involving the love of her life. Years pass until one day she is forced to travelthrough the Dark Forest.She is as courageous as she is kind using her wits to survive. 

Where do you like to write? Do you have an office or writing nook?

I prefer to write on my desktop in my home office. It’s a quiet place where I am surrounded by an eclectic collection of posters, memorabilia, and other cool things.

What is one of your best marketing tips for other authors? 

Prepare everything as early as you can before your release date. From video’s to stills. Don’t wait until the last minute and try to put everything up at once. 

What websites or tools have you found that offer the best results?

Fiverr is a favorite of mine to find other talents to enhance what I am doing. 99designs is also good. 

When doing my audiobook/podcast recordings, I use two tools to create the best finished product. I use Adobe Audition and Audacity.

Any advice for aspiring writers?

Write your story your way. Hire a professional editing service to make it right if you can afford it. Be realistic with your expectations and goals.

About the Author:

Alan McGill is an American author who lives in an old farmhouse with a clowder of cats. Alan was close to his grandparents, who grew up during the Great Depression. They were married young and remained together until his grandmother's passing. His grandfather served in the Navy during WWII and was a gifted storyteller who wove humorous tales about tough events.

Alan grew up listening to these stories of right and wrong and watching fictional heroes--such as the Lone Ranger, Adam West's Batman and Captain America--stand up to bullies and protect those who count not protect themselves. This inspired him to always do what was right in his own life and shaped his love of storytelling.

He is a multi genre author whose debut novel, A Cry in the Moon's Light, combines horror, romance, and mystery. As with all his books, A Cry in the Moon's Light centers on characters who strive to do the right thing regardless of the adversity they face. The book focuses on the theme of love--a pure and deep love that defeats all evil.
