AUTHOR IN THE HOUSE! Today we're pleased to welcome Jack Wallen.
For Whom The Reap Tolls
SC: Tell me a
little bit about your main character of this book.
JW: The main
character in the Reapers series is Grim, the Reaper. He’s been around for
centuries serving a singular purpose—Guiding the souls of the dead back into
the Universal Pool, so that they may be re-purposed for other living beings.
Centuries of life have made him a bit bitter and sarcastic … a character trait
that is very much challenged when he accidentally reaps the love of his life
(in the first book of the series). Grim is charming, funny, and self-aware to a
fault. I will also say that there is more of me in Grim than any other
character I’ve written to date.
SC: Do you believe in the paranormal and if so, do
you have an experience you can share?
JW: I
certainly do. I come from a very broken home and family. My mother suffered
from numerous mental issues and had me and my sister convinced (as children)
she and the house were haunted. Once upon a time—this was during undergraduate
school—I was going through a rather hard period in my life. I was living with
some friends and things were spiraling out of control. One day I came home from
rehearsal for a nap. My roomies were all quite concerned about me (especially
considering I never nap) and were watching me from the door of my room. They all
swore I was laying in bed, with both arms at my side, when the blanket at my
feet slowly made its way up my body to cover me. My friends insisted it
happened—and had no reason to lie to me. I’ve had other, similar,
instances—such as, where I saw my guardian angels floating above me (one of
which wears a stovepipe hat).
SC: What
titles are you working on now that you can tell us about?
JW: I am
currently in the editing process with my book “Dead Twin Sister” (the sequel to
“The Dark Seduction”), as well as about to finish up the first draft of
“Suicide Machine” (The sequel to “Suicide Station”). I will then be embarking
on co-authoring a new series, for Devil Dog Press, with Jaime
SC: Thanks so
much for stopping by, Jack. Let's take a look at your book.

About the Author:
Jack Wallen is what happens when a Gen Xer mind-melds with present day snark. Jack is a seeker of truth and a writer of words with a quantum mechanical pencil and a disjointed beat of sound and soul. Although he resides in the unlikely city of Louisville, Kentucky, Jack likes to think of himself more as an interplanetary traveler, on the lookout for the Satellite of Love and a perpetual movie sign...or so he tells the reflection in the mirror (some times in 3rd person). Jack is the author of numerous tales of dark, twisty fiction including the I Zombie series, the Klockwerk Movement, the Fringe Killer series, Shero, The Nameless Saga, and much more.
