plenty of “creepy,” some paranormal events, and a fast-moving plot,
check out BULWARK. You might just be afraid to turn off the lights after reading the last page.” – Red Feathered Quill
“Brit Lunden’s paranormal fantasy novella, Bulwark,
is genuinely eerie and spooky, filled with the kinds of scary effects
that true lovers of the dark crave and rarely find. There are no gushes
of blood or other cheap special effects, just a consistently good
pulse-pounding story about an ancient evil and the one man who stands up
against it. Readers who grew up with the likes of Barker, King and Lovecraft will have a field day reading this classy, dark fantasy novella.” – Jack Magnus for Readers’ Favorite (5-Star Review)
“Author Brit Lunden has weaved an entertaining story that
spans paranormal, romance, and mystery. Thanks to the splattering of
action and the mysterious connection of characters and happenings, this
fast paced story is well suited to those looking for a light and
enjoyable thrill.” – Bianca Schulze

Brit Lunden – Author Interview
Your book is set in Bulwark, Georgia. Have you ever been there?
I’ve been to many parts of Georgia over the years. I just opened up a business there. But I’ve never been to Bulwark other than my imagination.
Where do you get inspiration for your stories?
Everywhere. Sometimes it’s a phrase or a discussion with my kids. Other times, it’s a sunset or something from the news. Inspiration is all around us.
In your book you state, “Sometimes both dreams and reality could be a nightmare.” Why is that?
When you think about it, there is a fine line between reality and fantasy. I think about those things all the time. Sometimes, just to mess with my kids, I tell them this is all a dream, and when they really wake up, they realize that. lol
There are many books out there about horror. What makes yours different?
I like to think my books are different. I’m sure all authors feel that way, however, one of the nicest compliments I received by a review for the Devil and Dayna dalton is that I was not a cookiecutter paranormal romance.
What made you write a version of Hansel and Gretal?
I never expected the book to take that turn. I was going for zombies or werewolves, but the characters took me to the Gingerbread House and it just fit. I mixed in the story of Countess Elizabeth, the Hungarian noblewoman who bathed in the blood of young servant girls, and that where the plot went.
Do you have another profession besides writing?
Yes, I am the CEO of a large ground transportation company. I also manage both my son’s and my writing career.
How long have you been writing?
Nine years, now.
Do you ever get writer’s block? What helps you overcome it?
A good pint of ice cream. Speaking to another author, or even just a bike ride.
What advice would you give budding writers?
Get on a Goodreads author thread and talk with other authors. Ask questions and learn about their mistakes.
On rituals:
Do you snack while writing? Favorite snack?
Popcorn and ice cream. (not together)
Where do you write?
In bed.
Do you write every day?
As needed for the project. I have a lot going on, so writing is skipped for editing or promoting.
What is writing schedule?
See above- I never miss a deadline, though.
Is there a specific ritualistic thing you do during your writing time?
I stall by checking every conceivable website or email, then once I start, I go until my eyes close.
In today’s tech savvy world, most writers use a computer or laptop. Have you ever written
parts of your book on paper?
When I worked on my children’s non-fiction series If You Were Me and Lived in..- I use postcards to keep track of the information.
If you’re a mom writer, how do you balance your time?
I write late at night so it doesn’t interfere with my kids or business. Believe it or not, t 42 and 37, they still need me. I spend an hour on the phone with each of their households nightly and make sure to include my daughters and law and grandchildren. I have always worked and rely on a network of people to help. I use Instacart to save time grocery shopping. I try to condense my house responsibilities to the day when I can get the most done. I always make time for me and exercise regularly, get my hair and nails done. I never miss activities for any of my family members. Writing will wait.
