This week, I was lucky enough to sit down with Horror Expert and Poet Eric Myford. Eric has released two Encyclopedias of Horror and Suspense Films and five poetry collections. He’s a super impressive do-it-yourself dude.

Willy of E-Junkie: Eric, since you encyclopedia is for the horror/suspense film genre, what was your first horror/suspense film and what is your favorite?

Eric Myford: First horror movie I remember seeing was when I was about 3 and it was Q - The Winged Serpent. As for my favorite, always a tough call, but I would have to say "A Serbian Film". It is an amazing movie but it stands out because it's really the only movie out of 3000+ that actually had an effect on me. I thought about it for days afterward and some images are permanently burned into my mind. 

In February, my sister uploaded a short fiction eBook and sold 541 copies in just 25 days – mostly on Amazon. She earned over $1,100 dollars. The eBook was a short romance of only about 65 pages; a "novelette" she called it. And, it only took her approximately a week to write. She priced it at $2.99, netting $2.09 from Amazon for every copy sold.
