Jazma interview
by Allen Klingelhoets - (Posted: 7/23/2007)

http://www.jazmaonline.com/interviews/interviews2007.asp?intID=542

Allen: Tell us something personal about yourself, your family life, schools you went to, etc.

Jennifer Caress: I am a 31 year old woman, married, and a parent to two dogs and one cat. I attended school in Colorado Springs, CO. Moved to Michigan when I was 18, moved back to Colorado with my tail between my legs when I was 20, and moved to California when I was 24 with an internship and certification in film/video editing. The bummer there is that 4 million people had the same idea I had and I only worked in Hollywood for about six months. Spent the rest of the time writing and cleaning houses.

Allen: What was the first comic book you ever read?

Jennifer: Sadly, I don't remember. I hung out with the comic book reader group in high school, but none of them would let me touch their comic books. *laughs* Something about bringing down the value…anyway, then I hung out with the Dungeons and Dragon crew, but couldn't really get into that. I finally found the "no other group will take me" group and had fun there.

Allen: How did you get involved with idea of bringing comic book characters to life in novel?

Jennifer: I enjoy reading graphic novels, especially the ones available online. I have great respect for all involved, especially the artists, because I suck at drawing anything. You name it, a box, tic tac toe, straight lines….it all comes out wrong. So I made my main character an artist, specifically a comic book artist, so that I could live through him. I got the idea for bringing the drawn characters to life by mixing in the awe for artists and their work, and my love of astral traveling. Throw in my love of quirky horror, one irked cartoon character with a pencil, and the story was complete.

Allen: Tell us about your novel Perverted Realities. Who is publisher? How long is book? How much trouble did you have publishing story?

Jennifer: The novel Perverted Realities is a collection of three short stories, all connected by two characters: Frankie and Sammy. Sammy is the comic book artist and Frankie is part human part dragon. In the book are ghosts, aliens, and the aforementioned renegade cartoon character. StoneGarden.net Publishing is the publisher. The book is rather small, only about 200 pages. For the first time in my writing career, I didn't have any trouble getting this one published. I sent it to three publishers, expecting to send it to three a night until it was accepted, but the next day I had two acceptance letters, one from StoneGarden.net Publishing.

Allen: Who are some of the characters in Perverted Realities? What is theme of book?

Jennifer: The theme of the book is paranormal/fantasy/horror…with a touch of humor thrown in for good measure. The characters make this book, in my opinion. They are wounded, brave, odd…I guess they are all different versions of me in some regards. I made Cree, a woman who gets stranded and then stalked at a rest stop, much braver than myself, but I gave her my determination. Stanley-John is the basement geek-genius. He is the loner in me. Truedon is a carefree spirit and witch, though she prefers the term "energy worker". She is the Pagan in me. Sammy and Frankie are what I can only hope to be. Frankie is a paranormal buff who leads his friends on a ghost hunt to an abandoned insane asylum, and as I mentioned, Sammy is the artist I can never be. You will never meet two more loyal friends.

Allen: Where can we find this story in stores?

Jennifer: One can purchase this book at any bookstore. However, it will have to be special ordered. Just ask the person behind the counter.

Allen: What type of audience seems to be buying Perverted Realities?

Jennifer: Besides the obligated "friends and family" group, I have seen all sorts of people who have read and enjoyed Perverted Realities. To be honest, my target audience are the loners, the geeks, nerds, freaks, and weirdo's….people like me basically.

Allen: Have you found independent comic book publisher that might adapt story into graphic form? Would you consider doing this?

Jennifer: There was talk about this at one time. I hesitated because I am fiercely protective of Sammy and Frankie and I don't want them to be represented by anybody who doesn't "get" them. They have a spirit and vibe all their own and if it isn't tapped into properly, I would be seriously pissed. If I could find people I trust with my boys, I would be happy to entertain the idea more seriously this time.

Allen: How did the concept of Perverted Realities come about?

Jennifer: Odd minds create odd creations *laughs* In more detail: I had several stories laying around that were stuck in motion. I just couldn't get them to work, but I liked the concept of each one so I couldn't toss them away. One day I decided to write a story without fear of having it submitted, thus rejected, and I wrote freely. Sammy and Frankie were born in that story, which turned out to be the first story in Perverted Realities. Something clicked and the three of us bonded. When that story was finished I put Sammy and Frankie into the stories I was stuck in and it all came together rather quickly after that. Now Sammy and Frankie are my go-to guys when I need help with a story that isn't working.

Allen: Have you ever attended any comic book conventions? It seems like natural place to let people know about Frankie and Sammy.

Jennifer: I would absolutely love to attend a comic book convention! The sad truth is, though, that on a writer's salary travel isn't really a possibility. I am holding out hope, though, that one day I will be able to participate in a comic book convention.

Allen: Tell us about your new projects with Perverted Realities? Any future books in works? Any other books in progress?

Jennifer: Yes! I'm sure it is obvious by now, but I am so entangled in the lives of Sammy and Frankie, and so madly in love with them, that I can't let them go. So Perverted Realities is now a series, with the second installment coming out in 2008. More ghosts, more aliens, and more of Sammy's drawings.

Allen: Tell us about some of your future book signings.

Jennifer: Right now my schedule is open *laughs*. I have done three signings and then took time off to finish the second book, which I am calling Perverted Realities; Dragging Wings. When the second book is released I plan on getting out there and scheduling a lot more signings then the first book got.

Allen: How can someone contact you?

Jennifer: I am always happy to hear from people. The easiest way to contact me is via my MySpace page (yeah-I did it).

Allen: What is your website URL address?

Jennifer: <http://www.jennifercaress.com/> or the MySpace page.

Allen: What are your hobbies and recreational activities?

Jennifer: Sitting in front of a computer screen, staring at a word document, and racking my brain for the next line is what I am usually doing. I am also attending college so there goes a few hours a week. After that I enjoy reading, watching movies (horror, sci-fi, comedy), walking in my new town of Manitou Springs, and gardening. Gardening is something else I suck at, but that has never stopped me before. Let's give a moment of silence to all the plants and herbs who have given their lives in my pursuit of growing something.

Allen: If you can have 6 dinner guests, 3 fictional and 3 real-life from any time period, who would those 6 people be and why?

Jennifer: Ooooo, nice question! Ok, the three real-lifers: Bob Ross (the painter from the public access shows), Einstein, and Aleister Crowley. The three fictional ones: Callahan from Spider Robinson's Callahan's Crosstime Saloon, Billy from Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughter House Five, and the Doctor from Doctor Who.

Allen: If you could go into any time machine, what year would you stop at and tell us why.

Jennifer: I would go back about 13 years and tell my youngest brother that I love him, tell him 'thank you' for all of his greatness, and apologize for all the crappy things I did as a big sister. As Doctor Who has taught us, there are certain things in certain time lines you don't fuck with, so I wouldn't tell him about the car accident that takes his life years down the road. ….OK, maybe I would tell him to always wear his seat belt. I would also go back and tell my grandpa Don the same things: I love him, sorry I wasn't a better granddaughter, and thanks for all the greatness he brought to this world.

Allen: What TV shows, movies, cartoons do you like?

Jennifer: Doctor Who, Eureka, Dead Like Me, Firefly, South Park, The Venture Bros. (would it kill you to make a new episode now and again??), Stargate Sg-1, Dirty Jobs, Deadliest Catch….dang, this is a long list. Movies; horror, sci-fi, comedy. I like the small, indie horror movies the best. Maybe the effects aren't the greatest, and the acting sometimes leaves behind a migraine and eye twitch, but those are the most fun to watch.

Allen: What books do you enjoy?

Jennifer: Kurt Vonnegut stands out, as does Spider Robinson, though I have only read one of his books, but I plan on reading more. Suspense, horror, comedy. I have a love/hate relationship with Anne Rice's work. Her Vampire Chronicles got me through high school and her Mayfair Witch series kept me hooked, but sometimes there is just too much detail that makes my eyes goes cross. Basically, if it is well written, and not a flowery romance, I like it!

Allen: Do you read any comic books at this time? what are your favorite stories and characters?

Jennifer: Sadly for me, I don't read any comic books at this time. I want to, certainly. But I spend a lot of time indoors and alone. *laughs* Often someone will send me over a link to someone's online work and I really enjoy reading those.

Allen: If you had chance to have super powers from any cartoon character, what would they be and why?

Jennifer: Since you are forcing this out of me I will admit to it: I am greedy. I am selfish. I want all the powers of all the characters with some sort of mental dial that allows me to pick which power I choose to use that day. If given the opportunity I promise to fight crime…and keep people from cutting me off in traffic. There, I said it.

Allen: What gives you your creative energy?

Jennifer: The night gives me creative energy. I will drag butt all day long, even with coffee, but at night I come alive. My power comes from the night; I feed off of her dark infinity and serenity. That is were I am truly alive and that is often where my characters find me.

Allen: This ends the interview, any encouraging words of wisdom?

Jennifer: I will steal these words of wisdom from my beloved Bob Ross, "It's your world, shoot, just be happy." So says Bob Ross, so say we all.

Author of Vacation, Jeremy C. Shipp and I sat down to shoot the shit and exchange a few questions and few learn which one of us likes to talk about themselves more. *cough* No trees were harmed in the making of this interview and we learn the truth about Roswell. Terry Gilliam-call me, we'll talk (hey, a girl can wish). :)

Me, interviewing Jeremy:

Describe your editing process:

I'm a big fan of editing and rewriting, and my stories and novels are always in a state of constant flux. I edit/rewrite almost every day while I'm working on a piece, and then when I'm finished with that piece, I go back and edit/rewrite some more. Sometimes I add new sections, new chapters, new characters. Nothing's off limits. Nothing's safe. Stories, beware.

Tell us about your newest book:

Vacation is the story of Bernard Johnson, and his journey into civilization's festering wound. Metaphorically speaking.

What do you like least about writing:

Sometimes when I'm in the middle of a novel, a new novel invades my mind and won't let up. So I start that one, so that I don't lose that special energy buzzing in my skull. Then, when I'm in the middle of that new novel, an even newer one attacks. It's a vicious cycle. Luckily, I've found ways to remedy this problem.

Is there something another author does that pisses you off:

Not really.

Who or what inspires you:

The world inspires me by being so horrible, and so wonderful. And the people in my life inspire me.

Who is your favorite character from your own work:

Recently, I've really enjoyed writing Cicely-a character from the new novel I'm working on.

If there is such thing as an antichrist, and that antichrist is already here, who is he or she?

Donald Rumsfeld.

If given the invitation, would you have a beer with this antichrist?

No. Then again I wouldn't have a beer with anyone, since I don't drink. But even if I did drink alcohol, I still wouldn't.

What really happened in July 1947 in Roswell, NM?

Smoke and mirrors. You see, aliens use a lot of mirrors in their spacecrafts. The mirrors reflect laser beams. And when their navigation system went haywire, there was quite a bit of smoke.

What are you currently working on?

I'm working on a new novel. I don't want to say too much about it, but it's about people learning to deal with rather strange problems.

And then Jeremy asks me a few harmless questions.....

Could you tell us a little (or a lot) about Perverted Realities?

There is a small mountain town called Arcacia, and in this beautiful little town lives two friends, Frankie and Sammy. Perverted Realities is a "day in the life" sort of book about these two men. There are ghosts, aliens, mean cartoon characters….Sammy is a comic book artist who draws the world around him as a means of dealing and Frankie is a part human, part dragon paranormal buff.

Perverted Realities is a horror/paranormal/fantasy that will make the reader believe that the dark half isn't necessarily the bad half.

For you, what are the most satisfying parts of being a writer?

The best and most satisfying part of being a writer is when the story is revealing itself to me. Most of the time I have to chip away at the story, trying to find it in the blank page, but then there are times when I have managed to tap into that bubble of energy where this particular story lives. It is glorious and refreshing-the story is unraveling so fast I can barely type fast enough to keep up.

The only thing more fun that those moments is actually during those moments when the story takes a twist that even I didn't see coming, or when the ending appears to me and I am so shocked or surprised I have to walk away for a moment and catch my breath. Damn-I love that!

I must admit that the only other satisfying moments are the feedback. Yes, the positive feedback is the best, but the "negative" ones are encouraging also. When my former boss read Perverted Realities she lost her mind! And I quote, "What kind of sick twisted bitch are you? What happened in your life that you can write something so dark? What the hell was that all about?" She was seriously pissed *laughs* and that was one of the greatest compliments I have ever received. I never thought the stories were all that dark, but "sick and twisted"? -ah, shucks.

Do you find that you get attached to your characters when writing a story?

Yes, perhaps to a sickening degree. *laughs* Frankie and Sammy have become great friends and I am madly in love with them both, equally. Another character, Cree, from the first Perverted Realities was someone I admired. So why did I kill her? That was just the way the story was meant to play out. I knew she would die from the very beginning, and truly I felt bad for that, but as I said, that is the way the story was meant to play out and as fellow writers will tell you, we are slaves to the story.

But because I cared for her so deeply, Frankie, Sammy, and I all felt her death should be avenged and that her spirit should live on. So it does, in the next Perverted Realities. If Sammy and Frankie are willing to live the adventure, I am willing to write it out for them. That is our deal.

Also, in the next Perverted Realities, I made a character go through what I went through in life, to a certain degree. It was horrible for us both (me having to relive it and her going through it for the first time) and I really bathed in guilt for making her do this, but I allowed her to learn from it and I had the honor of watching her grow into a really amazing person from our shared ordeal.

Where does your inspiration come from?

The seeds of my inspiration come from real life, real people. My personality or imagination takes it from there. I am not a "logical explanation" type of person; rather, I am a "paranormal explanation" type of person. Every bump in the night is a ghost to me; every light in the sky is a UFO. I believe there are people walking amongst us now that were born on another planet, and nobody will be able to convince me otherwise. *laughs*

So maybe my greatest inspiration comes from the dark caverns of my own twisted little mind *laughs*

If you could choose anyone, alive or dead, to direct a movie based on your book, who would you choose?

Easy- Terry Gilliam. I believe he is the only one who could do the stories and characters visual justice, and to be honest, he is the only director I would even consider allowing to make Perverted Realities into a movie. He is the only director I have ever seen that would "get" the spirit of the characters.

Have you had any real life paranormal experiences?

Of course! I seem to attract people who believe they have been abducted by aliens. I love this and I really love hearing their stories. As far as paranormal stories go, I don't judge, I believe.

There was a home my brother and I would visit frequently when we were children. A friend, a spiritual sister, lived there and believe you me, that house was haunted. We heard voices, noises in empty rooms, things would move seemingly on their own. We had a blast making our own little ghost investigations in that house.

I am big on astral traveling. I belong to a group of astral travelers and our stories are really something. I highly encourage people to try it for themselves. I promise there is no greater euphoria.

If you could be any cartoon character, who would you be?

South Park and The Venture Bros. are my favorite cartoons, but I don't think I would actually want to live in either world. Scary! So I suppose I would want Sammy to draw me into his cartoon world where we could live in liberal hippie harmony.

If Perverted Realities were a tree, what kind of tree would it be?

Perverted Realities would be a Duppy Tree. *laughs* Research it, my lovelies.

If Bob Ross were a tree, what kind of tree do you think he'd be?

Ok, first, let's just get this out into the open: I love Bob Ross. Maybe that is obvious from the part of my Myspace page where I wrote "I love Bob Ross", or maybe it isn't. At any rate, if Bob were a tree, I believe he would be a pretty little tree in his world where he can do what he wants, and with a little tree friend next to him, because shoot, every tree needs a little friend. So says Bob Ross, so say we all. He would have lots of squirrel friends, too.

If reincarnation exists, what do you think Jerry Falwell would come back as?

Oh that is an easy question. Jerry Falwell would be reincarnated as a liberal homosexual woman, born in the bible belt where he would be regularly tarred and feathered for being born the way he/she was born. And he/she would be the only liberal homosexual woman alive who actually deserved it.

Any writing projects in the works for the future?

Because of the annoying "real life" crap, the second book has been a long time coming, but it is coming. Perverted Realities is a series because I refuse to let Sammy and Frankie go. So the second one will be out in 2008. There is another book that doesn't take place in Arcacia, but this one is so far from being done I am almost ashamed of myself for bringing it up *laughs*. Actually, I have been working on this one for years, but Sammy and Frankie are my go-to guys when a story needs help (I just add them and the story comes to life). But since this story line cannot possibly involve them, I am so very, very, stuck.

Thanks Mr. Shipp for this talk, it was a pleasure

Author Anna Parish, interviews Jennifer Caress and reveals superstitions and the hobby of chiseling.

Hi, Anna! Great to see you again. OK, let's get to the questions. *smiles*

What is your name: Jennifer, but most people call me Jen or Jenny.

What is your pen name? Jennifer Caress (my maiden name)

Where were you born? Colorado Springs

Where do you live now? Southern California, but we are planning a move back to Colorado.

What are you currently working on:
Title:

I am superstitious and won't reveal the title until the book is finished and set for publication *laughs*

type:

It is the same ol' stuff I usually do: ghosts, aliens, weird stuff. Life is weird, when you have the courage to believe, so why not showcase it, I say! *laughs*

What are you planning for your next book?

The one book that I talk about above is thisclose [sic] to being done. The other book I am working on is a little more sci-fi and it has taken me years just to get this far, which isn't very far. I need to buckle down and just work like hell on it, but so far other stories have demanded my attention.

What would you like to tell your fans:

First and foremost, THANK YOU! I appreciate all your support more than I can say. Also, please don't be shy. I am all over the internet so please come by, say 'hello,' and give feedback. I would love to hear from you!

What do you like least about writing:

The thing I like least about writing is the down times. Fellow writers will know what I am talking about- there are times when the ideas are flowing fast and the story is coming together and being revealed to me almost faster than I can type *laughs*. And then there are the down times, which greatly outweigh the fast-flowing times, when I have to chip and chisel at the story word by word, only to have to delete the page I just spent a day on because it was crap. Urg- I hate that but it has to be done or else the story won't get done.

What do you like most about writing:

My favorite moments are when I am typing away and the ending or surprised twist is revealed to me. I love that because there have been times when I am thinking, "how is this going to end" or "what happens next?" and then it comes to me and my breath is taken away! *Laughs* I just love it- it is so much fun!

Thanks, Anna, it was great to sit down and talk with you! Best of luck on all of your work and I'll see you around the Stonegarden "headquarters". *laughs*

Author Shirley Ann Howard interviews Jennifer Caress on genres, editing, and new authors.

Good Friday Afternoon, Jen....

1. How did you first become interested in the horror genre?

Hi Shirley Ann! Thanks for sitting down to talk with me.

To be honest, I think I write horror-lite. What I write is part horror, part fantasy, part what-the-hell, but because a book understandably has to be put into a genre, "horror" seems like the right one.

2. When and how did you realize you wanted to write horror?

Horror and all things paranormal are what I instinctively lean towards in life. If the lights flicker I automatically assume it is a ghost, if I smell an odd odor I am convinced there is a dead body in the basement, weird lights in the sky are UFO's, and every full moon I look over my shoulder for werewolves. When I sit down to write something, the seed of the story might be quite innocent and light, but it very quickly becomes about something a little darker. The truth is I just can't help it.

3. Did you study writing?

I study grammar and punctuation, but not writing in general. I thought about taking fiction writing classes a few years back, but all the ones I skimmed through didn't seem to teach me anything I hadn't learned from reading the works of others. I learn better by observing and experimenting anyway.

4. Can you describe your quest to become published?

*Perverted Realities was the first book I ever put together and I spent just as much time researching publishers and agents as I did writing the book. I researched the pro's and con's of having an agent and decided it wasn't right for me, which means smaller presses are the only avenues I can take without an agent.

Once the manuscript was ready I made a list of all the publishers I had found where my manuscript would fit in. I made a plan of submitting Perverted Realities to three publishers a day until it was accepted, fully expecting to receive a long list of rejection letters. StoneGarden was one of the first three I contacted that first night. The next day StoneGarden and one of the other publishers wrote me back saying they would like to publish PR.

Naturally, I was ecstatic! I did a little more research and decided to go with StoneGarden and the rest is literary history. *laughs*

5. How did you become an editor for StoneGarden?

*Kris begged and pleaded, it was sad really. Just kidding. He asked if some of us writers wouldn't mind helping reduce his workload so I agreed, figuring that if I took away some of his other work he would have more time to focus on putting more books out there.

6. Will you describe how your editing process works?

Oh how I hate the editing process. It is tedious and humbling.

I will write a draft or two of a story and then set it aside for three to six weeks- however long it takes to wipe the story from my head so that I no longer have it memorized. That is fairly easy because in the meantime I am writing another story. After the allotted amount of time, I will go back to read the story and tweak it as I am reading it.

Then I hand it off to someone else, someone I trust to tell me the truth. *Laughs* I like to give it to at least two people, but that doesn't always happen because people are busy. This is where the humbling part comes in- the story works perfectly in my head so when I get it back from someone who didn't "get it" I have to try and adjust it to make it work for someone other than myself.

My goal isn't to make any story work for the majority, I know who my target audience is and usually they are the minority, so I work to make a story they will enjoy.

7. What advice would you give a new author?

*Keep perfecting what you do. I know I thought the stuff I wrote years ago was pure gold *laughs* but there is always room for improvement and as much as criticism hurts, listen to the constructive parts and toss away any cruelty.

When it comes to rejection letters, don't let them weigh you down. I could wallpaper a stadium with the rejection letters I have received, and so it goes with all writers. Keep on writing and submitting because they won't all be rejections, and line the cat box with the rejection letters as your way of contributing to the recycling cause.

C.J. Caron, author of Elizabeth's Book, interviews Jennifer Caress.

Tell us about your latest novel (please mention its genre, title, etc.):

My latest novel is Perverted Realities, which is a horror/fantasy novel. It takes place in a fictitious town named Arcacia and there are two main characters: Frankie and Sammy. Basically, they are two odd people doing what they do in an odd little town. *laughs* There are ghosts, aliens, and wicked cartoon characters. See? Odd. *laughs*

What are you currently working on:

Right now I am working on a follow-up to Perverted Realities. This one also has Frankie and Sammy, but there are new characters that the book will focus on, too. I like to drop my characters into odd and sometimes frightening scenarios and see how they fight their way out again. With this book, it will be Frankie and Sammy who help the new characters find their way home. As with the first book, there are ghosts, aliens, and I left out a wicked cartoon character with this novel, but who is to say he won't be back later.

What would you like to tell your fans:

I would like to tell me fans, all three of them *laughs* that I am all over the internet and I would love to hear from them. I am always there to listen and of course I love feedback, even if it isn't all sugar. *laughs*

What was the latest movie you saw:

Saw 3. I don't recommend it, but that is just me. Before that I saw Jackass 2. My husband has an ironclad stomach, but both Jackass movies have made him puke. *laughs hard* Watching him gag during a comedy made me laugh harder than the movie did. I know, I'm evil.

What is your favorite book or books:

Anne Rice's Vampyre Chronicles got me through high school. I do like Harry Potter *laughs*. I think Sophie Kinsella is so wonderful- she really makes me laugh out loud.

What do you like least about writing:

The thing I like least about writing is when the inspiration has long since abandoned me and left me alone with just a blurb of a story. Then I have to chip away, delete, chip away, delete. It sucks and it's painful. *laughs* But inspiration rarely stays for very long so I am often left trying to tell a story one drawn out word at a time.
The other thing I like least about writing…well, this is sort of a love/hate thing…is that sometimes there is something that has to be written. It will not be denied and for whatever reason I am the one who has to write it. It really is painful and it brings back emotions I thought I had exorcised away long ago, but I pour it out, force it out, and write it down. When it is all over I at least get the satisfaction of knowing this time it really is exorcised out.

This just happened with one story, Far From the Tree. I made the main character go through what I went through and I felt terrible for making her do it. I also felt terrible for revisiting a place I never wanted to go back to. Of course, I fictionalized the account and made it bigger than it really was for me, but it still took a lot out of me, and now the main character and I are both stronger for the experience. *laughs*

What do you like most about writing:

The moments when the story is being revealed to me at such a pace I can barely type fast enough to keep up. I love that! There have been times when even I am surprised at the next turn the story is taking! It is so much fun.

What would you like to tell people who haven't read your book yet:

All the cool people are doing it. You want to be cool, don't you? *laughs* My books aren't for everyone, but I do think a lot of people will like them regardless of what their favorite genre is. My stories are more character driven, so even if you don't like ghost or alien stories, I think you will still like the stories.

Favorite genre:

I like horror and humor, but really a good story is a good story no matter what the genre.

Favorite music group/album:

I really like The Mourning Glory and Jack Off Jill when I am writing. Both groups are broken up, but you can still get their old stuff. Blue Oyster Cult is another one I listen to when I am writing, and Johnny Cash. I also listen to Mandy Patinkin when I am not writing. I just love his voice, it is very comforting.

Favorite thing to do when not writing:

I am an internet junkie so if my husband isn't home I am usually surfing the net and looking up all sorts of stuff. If my husband is home we like to watch horror, fantasy, and sci-fi movies. The B movies are the best, but we will watch ones that had a budget, too. *laughs*

Favorite TV show:

Doctor Who, Stargate Sg-1, Supernatural, Farscape, South Park, Dead Like Me, The Daily Show.

Last book you read:

The Undomestic Goddess, by Sophie Kinsella

Worst book/movie/TV show:

Worst movie I saw recently was "The Celestial Prophecies," which was taken from a pretty good book by the same name. The movie sucked donkey balls, but I recommend the book.

Worst TV show: Psyche. In all fairness, I only saw one episode, but that was for a reason. *laughs*
I can't recall the worst book I read.

Put here your book titles and their ISBN numbers:

· Perverted Realities:
· ISBN-10: 097654265X
· ISBN-13: 978-0976542650

Anything else you would like to add:

Just "thank you" for reading this interview, and if I may be so bold as to drop a few websites *laughs*: www.jennifercaress.com and http://www.myspace.com/jennifersreality. Don't be a stranger! Thanks, CJ, for this great interview and best of luck with all your books!
