    February 11, 2013 / Comments Off on Interview: Flimsy Little Plastic Miracles by Ron Currie, Jr.

    I recently had the pleasure of reviewing the outstanding book, Flimsy Little Plastic Miracles by Ron Currie, Jr. This post modern love story is a novel after my own heart….in a word, superb! It’s got everything that I love in a book: a couple that should never have gotten together but can’t seem to stay away from each other, unreliable narrators, complex and dark characters, exotic locations, and really tell who doesn’t love a story where someone fakes their own death. I was thrilled when Ron Currie, Jr. agreed to do an interview with me as well, so without further ado please welcome Ron Currie, Jr. to The Lit Bitch!

    One Holy Hell Crushed Seraphim is One Holy hell of a year old! It’s been one year since I stayed up all night to watch my debut novel go live. When it finally popped up on Amazon, I peed my pants a little. I never knew I wanted to be an author, but holding that book was a huge tearjerker for me. I wrote this story as a way to tell the tale of a woman that was a cursing, smart-mouthed nightmare who also happened to have the courage to save the world. It was book one in the Seraphim Series and the conclusion, Bittersweet Seraphim, will be dropping in…
