On By Teri PolenIn Bad Moon Rising

This author is known for her beautiful prose and imagery, whether in poetry or her fiction books. I’ve reread passages in several of her novels because of their lyrical quality. Talk about eerie – her tarot card reading from many years ago may have predicted something that didn’t turn up until decades later in her life. Welcome D. Wallace Peach!

Have you ever had a tarot card reading?

Of course, Teri. And thanks for the fun questions. I’m delighted to be visiting during this bad, bad moon. I’ve had many tarot readings, and for a while I became absorbed in giving them too. The most unusual one I received was when I first married my husband. We both had children from a previous marriage, and the reader said I shouldn’t have more kids because it could damage my heart. We never did have more children (for various reasons) and my heart was fine… until my fifties. I wonder sometimes whether the tarot cards knew something that I didn’t discover until twenty years later.

Was there a horror movie you refused to watch because the previews were too scary?

I had to ask my husband the name of the movie because, of course, I never watched it. Hellraiser. That was a bazillion years ago in 1987, so I don’t know if I’d feel the same way now. He watched it with our kids when the tykes were about ten years old, and they all loved it. Now it’s the twisted psychopaths that totally creep me out because they could be REAL.

Do you ever see figures in your peripheral vision?

Oh yeah. My youngest brother was murdered in 2003 (my own little horror story), and after his death, I saw him everywhere. I’d pull over in the car, stare at people, follow them like a stalker. I’m surprised I didn’t get a crick in my neck from all the doubletakes. It was very disorienting. And eventually it stopped. Apparently, this happens to a lot of people. I wonder… is it wishful thinking or is the person’s soul making its presence known?

Would you and your main character get along?

That depends on the book. My main characters tend to live hard lives, and they take everything so seriously. They’re usually honorable people at the core, but who needs all that drama? Not me. The exception may be Madlyn in the Sorcerer’s Garden. She’s self-deprecating and snarky, two qualities that I find irresistible, especially the snark. It’s my lightest book, and I think she’d be fun to hang out with around a fire pit and drink wine.

If you decided to write a spinoff of a side character, who would you choose?

I have a lot of side characters that I think might have a good story inside them, usually from stand-alone books where there’s more story to explore. In my recent high seas fantasy, The Ferryman and the Sea Witch, there’s been some reader interest in Grier. He’s lazy, sarcastic, self-serving, and at times, remarkably noble. Who know? He may get his own book someday.

What do you do to get inside your characters’ heads?

I write extensive bios on my main and secondary characters before I ever start writing. I know everything about them from their hobbies down to their fears, hopes, and deep dark secrets. They’re fully formed before I write my first sentence. I was also a mental health clinician in the real world, and I think those years exploring people’s emotional lives helped. My husband can always tell what type of scene I’m writing by the look on my face. His frequent question: “Are you okay?”

Thanks for the fun Teri. Happy October!

The merror rule the sea. Slender creatures, fair of face, with silver scales and the graceful tails of angelfish. Caught in a Brid Clarion net, the daughter of the sea witch perishes in the sunlit air.

The queen of the sea bares her sharp teeth and, in a fury of wind and waves, cleanses the brine of ships and men. But she spares a boy for his single act of kindness. Callum becomes the Ferryman, and until Brid Clarion pays its debt with royal blood, only his sails may cross the Deep.

Two warring nations, separated by the merrow’s trench, trade infant hostages in a commitment to peace. Now, the time has come for the heirs to return home. The Ferryman alone can undertake the exchange.

Yet, animosities are far from assuaged. While Brid Clarion’s islands bask in prosperity, Haf Killick, a floating city of derelict ships, rots and rusts and sinks into the reefs. Its ruler has other designs.

And the sea witch crafts dark bargains with all sides.

Callum is caught in the breach with a long-held bargain of his own which, once discovered, will shatter this life.

      I haven’t seen Hellraiser, never been on my radarto watch. I think the cards can pick up on things too even if it takes 20 years to confirm it. Sorry about your brother but I believe our loved ones are always near if weneed them. Great interview and I enjoyed getting to know Diana better 🙂

    2. Ha ha. Hellraiser was so scary-looking, wasn’t it? I’m glad I’m not the only one who was freaked out, Priscilla. I used to work as a grief counselor and seeing “the departed” everywhere was quite common but rarely talked about. Is it psychological or paranormal? I don’t know. Happy Halloween!

  3. It is so great to learn more about Diana here today, Teri. Diana, as you well know I love working with Tarot cards and find the readings to be uncanny and relevant. As for your brother, YES, I believe they can make their presence known. Maybe he was trying to comfort you, or to get a message through. Eventually, he had to transition on into the other world. I LOVED The Ferryman and The Sea Witch! A great story. Thanks for hosting, Teri!

      1. Such a great interview, Teri. It’s nice to learn more about Diana. And the book sounds like a winner. I had a Tarot reading years ago. And the hard times with a marriage came true! Also dabbled in Handwriting analysis. And Numerology. And had my European Sidereal & US birth chart done. Amazing how accurate! I haven’t seen people who have passed. But, thoughts about them come at interesting times. Especially when I write. Sort of like Muses, hanging around to help. So sorry about your brother, Diana. 📚🎶 Christine

    1. Thanks for checking out the interview, Brad. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Those bios take a long time to prepare, but for me, they make the actual writing go a lot faster. If the characters know who they are, their reactions and decisions are “right there” and I don’t need to labor over them. That makes for less rewriting too. Have a lovely week, my friend, and Happy Halloween. Hugs.

  10. So good to see Diana here today, Teri! And what a fascinating interview, too. Diana, I learned so much about you this morning, and I must say, I’m totally impressed! The Tarot card thing blew me away! Whoa! That was a pretty specific prediction to have come true. Gulp.

    As for The Ferryman and the Sea Witch, I can’t recommend it highly enough to folks who enjoy fantasy. What a great tale, but then, that’s what I’ve come to expect from your books. I’ve read enough of them now to know I can expect beautifully written stories about well-developed characters I’m fully invested in. However, I have not (YET) read Sorcerer’s Garden, and I can see I need to do so SOON! I luv me some snark, especially from someone who isn’t being mean about it. Will bump that one up on my Kindle for sure!

    Here’s wishing you continued success with Ferryman and ALL of your books, Diana. Great reading, for sure! 🤗💖🤗

I don’t know if that would have stopped me from having another kid if that’s what I wanted, but when it came together later, it was freaky, and I’ve wondered since if that reading was a true warning. And thanks so much for the wonderful comment about my books. If you read The Sorcerer’s Garden someday, I’d be thrilled. It’s the closest I’ve come to writing myself into a book. Lol.

  11. Great answers, Diana. So sorry to hear about your brother. I too lost a brother and for years thought I saw him in a crowd etc. My daughter, who was only 3 months old when he died, says she often feels his presence. I’m sure he’s keeping an eye on us, which is comforting.

    1. I worked in grief counseling and hospice for years, Darlene, and seeing our departed loved ones is more common than people realize. I’m not surpriised that you had that experience as well. And that’s so interesting about your daughter’s sensing her uncle’s presence. Human visual perception is so limited, and we tend to discount what we can’t see (or empirically prove). Someday, again, we may see face to face. Hugs. And Happy Halloween!

  15. Diana, I can’t imagine the horror and emotional trauma of losing your brother in such a tragic way. Losing a loved one is hard enough. Perhaps his spirit was trying to comfort you.

    This was an wonderful interview, and if I may lend a prod or two, I would LOVE to see a Greir get his own book. He was such a surprise and a standout character.

    Interesting about the tarot reading. Sometimes things seen in readings can take some time to come to pass, other times they can happen quickly, and still other times the fact you’re aware of them may influence whether or not they happen due to it – whether conciously or not – influencing your decisions. That’s my belief anyhow.

  20. Hi Diana, I am very sad to learn about your brother’s murder. What a dreadful thing for your family. My mom and I were the victims of a home invasion 1o years ago. We were held up at gun point and for months I keep seeing guns and the perpetrators everywhere I went. Your experience was most likely more spiritual in nature as you saw your brother. I put mine down to adrenaline and anxiety. Thanks for hosting Diana, Teri.

I’m cynical about the “invisible” too, in a way, but I also realize that there is way more to the universe than our puny brains can begin to fathom. Only a few hundred years ago, the technology of today would have seemed utterly magical (and probably evil too). When my grandson tells me that magic isn’t real (which is what his father tells him) I always ask him for proof. Lol. And I appreciate the kind comment about my brother. I hope he’s still hanging around. 😀 Happy Halloween.

  22. Very interesting post, Diana, and your latest book sound really intriguing, and the reviews I’ve read are all great. I love horror movies, so I can’t recall ever refusing to watch one or avoiding it, although there are other genres that I’ve either not enjoyed or try to avoid, for example, erotica, or over-the-top sugary ones. All the best and have fun.

    I think many of your side characters in The Ferryman can become main characters since you have their bios written already.
    When hubby watches horror movies next time, I’ll sit with him in the same room, watch my own YouTube but glance at the screen once in a while. Just to say that I’ve watched a horror movie, hehe! Honestly, I did that.

The original Hellraiser is a unique type of “oh no, what am I watching?” I do agree on the twisted psychopaths though. Very intense about your brother and I think both options are possible.

    The sudden death of a young person bites deep but for the cause to be murder adds another level of distress and I’m so sorry that you have that horror to bear. To lack closure can be enough to prevent people from moving on in their lives and so it’s good that you have an outlet in your wondrous writing. I loved your Unraveling the Veil series, and The Ferryman and the Sea Witch was spellbinding, too. Grier was one of those characters that begins to steal the scene from a more honourable protagonist – I’d love to read more about him. And now I must look into The Sorcerer’s Garden.
    Many thanks, Teri, for these great interviews.

  30. What a FABULOUS interview, Teri. You knew just the right questions to ask. I feel like I’ve gotten to “know” Diana over the years through her blog and her magnificent books, but gawd, I didn’t know about the Tarot cards. I’m always a bit scared to have my future read. But I’d let Diana read tarot cards to me any time. I once had my palm read, and the reader (a woman in her mid-50s, whom I never met before) looked right into my soul. It was s c a r y, because she told me truthful things I didn’t want to hear.
    Anyway, a book with Grier as main character would be HOT. Because he is. :–)
    Lastly, yes, I’ve seen long-gone friends out of the periphery of my eye – years after they’re gone. I don’t think it’s our imagination. And I think it’s a beautiful energy sighting of love. ❤

They’re meaningful, but can also apply to many people in many situations. The one I got about kids and heart troubles was so specific! That’s why it was so memorable when I actually did have heart trouble.

    2. Don’t scare me, Teagan. Yikes! I’d rather read books and watch movies about monsters and vampires… which I don’t think are real. Are they? And thanks for the kind comment about the Ferryman and the Sea Witch. Huge hugs, my friend. Happy Halloween.

  34. really enjoyed this, Diane. Very interesting answers. I can a a wee bit re seeing things but it is random. So what you said re the Tarot cards was fascinating. I remember telling friend when she’d said she would never get grandchildren, that she would. There would be two boys for that particular son, alone. Like that she wanted to know how that could possibly be since this was a second marriage for the woman and she couldn’t possibly have any more. I told her I had no idea. I did not have that bit of it but this was what I could see. Sure enough a year later that marriage broke up. He remarried and there’s now two boys. Sorry to read about your brother.

    1. That’s so cool that you have a bit of “the sight,” Shey. I’m a firm believer that we only understand a fraction of this universe, especially the invisible world around us that our eyes haven’t the ability to see. Just because something can’t be proved (right now) doesn’t mean it isn’t true. Thanks for checking out the interview and for your fun comment. Have a Happy Halloween. 🙂

  37. I’ve seen the movie Hellraiser. It was one of the most bizarre movies I’ve ever seen. I don’t think I’ve watched anything quite like it since then. I think there was a sequel, too, but I didn’t think much about it. Then again, rarely are sequels as good as the original.

    That’s awful news about your brother, Diana. I’m so sorry to read about it. I wonder why you did stop seeing him in your peripheral vision. It’s almost like he moved on to whatever awaits us all.
