Author Interview - Devon Ashley - Metamorphosis

AUTHOR INTERVIEW

DEVON ASHLEY

METAMORPHOSIS

I just love to talk vampires with Devon Ashley. She is all about the creepy and freaky! Today you can a chance to peek in on our conversation. Thanks Devon and The Teen {Book} Scene for arranging this interview.

Vampires! Do you remember the first time you read a story or watched a movie about them? Did it freak you out? 

My first experience with vampires was watching Anne Rice’s Interview With the Vampire when I was a young teenager. You’d think it was the mere presence of Tom Cruise that gave me the heebie-jeebies but really, it was Kirsten Dunst’s character that freaked me out the most. That awful creepy curly hair!!! Now that gave me nightmares!!!

You like scary things! Do you have any special Halloween plans or traditions?

Well, normally I would take my little man out trick or treating with his cousins but we’re gonna be moving during that time, so momma’s gonna have to come up with something special for him!

THAT COVER! I love that vivid blue and how about that eye! Is it everything you hoped it would be? 

So far I’ve been making my own covers (obviously – lol), but it’s because I want them to be dark and simplistic. The eye shine on the final cover of Metamorphosis is just what I was looking for. Originally I had an eye shine with more of a dark rainbow effect, but it just didn’t show up that well when I got the book in my hands. So I enlisted the help of a fellow writer with a graphics program and she found a way to really get that eye to POP! And I also love how the blue lettering on the cover looks like it’s going through its own version of Metamorphosis.


What paranormal power do you think would be the WORST to have? Why? 

I’m thinking Bone Manipulation. Gross! Who’d want to be able to manipulate or rearrange the bones within their own body? Ou-chey!

Do you believe in vampires? 

ROFL. Um…if I say no and they are real, will that cause one of them to start stalking me for fun? To each his own – you mind your business and I’ll mind mine!
