On By Teri PolenIn Bad Moon Rising

Today’s author is making her first appearance at BMR, but some of you are probably familiar with her books – she writes in a variety of genres. Between sleeping in a coffin or spending the night in a haunted house? She’ll take the haunted house – she’s already lived in one, so what’s another to add to the list? Welcome Stevie Turner!

Would you rather sleep in a coffin for one night or spend the night in a haunted house?

I am claustrophobic, and so nothing would ever induce me to spend the night in a coffin.  When younger, a flatmate and I made a coffin for a party we threw at our new flat, but everybody had a go at climbing into it except me!  I spent many nights in a haunted flat as a child.  My bedroom was haunted by the ghost of a previous tenant who had committed suicide, and so yes, I’d rather spend the night in a haunted house.

Name three items you’d take to spend the night in a haunted house.

I’d take my phone of course, just in case I needed to call in reinforcements.  I’d also take in a good time-lapse camera and leave it running, and lastly I’d take something to eat because I know I’d not sleep a wink!

Would you rather use an Ouija board or participate in a séance?

I’ve done both in the past, although neither one was very successful. 

If you had to give up snacks or drinks during writing sessions, which would be more difficult?

Drinks, definitely.  My salivary glands hardly function at all due to 34 sessions of radiotherapy to the neck for thyroid cancer back in 2017.  The cancer is gone, but the after-effects linger for life.  I sip, sip, sip all day long…

Do you write to music?

No, I have to have total silence as I find music too distracting.  I cannot write a word if music or the TV is playing in the background.

What are you working on now?

I’ve just finished ‘Barren’, a family relationship drama, and am in the process of reading it through a few times.  By the time this promotion comes out, the book will be published.

When Karen and Mick Curtis attend a demonstration of clairvoyance for the first time, Karen is singled out by the medium, Rae Cordelle. Rae has a message from Karen’s son David, who passed over to the spirit world many years before. The message shocks Karen and sends her on a journey of discovery, rocking her previously happy relationship with second husband Mick, David’s stepfather.

  2. The description of this book gave me chills. It looks very good. ❤️
    I actually lived in a house when I was young (elementary school age) that everyone said was haunted and my whole family except for me saw a ghost in pink. Creepy!

  11. And here I thought my climbing into my parents bed when I heard sirens in the middle of the night was a good reason. A haunted flat! I’m not sure I would have ever slept. Wishing Stevie the best. I always enjoy reading a good family drama story. Thanks for the great interview, Teri!

  15. I can’t imagine anything much more traumatic than a message from beyond the grave, especially from a child. OMG. Shivering just thinking about it!

    Years ago, I returned to college full time and at the same time was one of the organizers of a Halloween tour on weekends. A friend built a coffin, but I was so busy organizing (when I wasn’t scrambling to do homework) that I never got around to lying in the thing!
