Well, it's come already. Can't believe it! How has spring come had flown so fast? We're already approaching May, but not before we chat about this month's featured short series, Clockwise, by Aditus. Did you read the series? Do you have a favorite story out of the four? I wonder if it matches his favorite? Read on to find out!!

Do you eat your fruits and vegetables?
I’m vegetarian, so, yes I eat lots of fruits and vegetables.

Chocolate or Vanilla?
What’s vanilla without chocolate? Both!

What's your favorite room in your house? Do you plot or write there?
In winter it’s the living room/office. I sometimes space out and stare at the slowly moving reflections of the rock crystals hanging from the curtain rods, and plot. In summer I love to write in a room part house, part garden.

What’s something personal about you people might be surprised to know?
I own a book with the title Vegan Food Porn. That’s probably not really surprising, though. Maybe I learn and collect swear words in as many different languages I can find is a better answer to the question.

What do you like to do when you’re not writing?
Reading of course.  As we have many great exhibitions here, I also like visiting those, especially photo exhibitions.  Then there's gardening, traveling, and slow-walking the dog who is very old by now.

What’s the best part of being an author?
Having an excuse for having a permanent movie theater in my mind and being able to show the films to others.

Clockwise has 4 stories. Which is your favorite?
The third story. I looked at so many different houses. In a way, I planned my dream house while I wrote  9:05 PM.

Did you start writing the first story intending to do 4 different stories in the series, or did they just evolve that way?
I wanted to write four stories for four consecutive anthology themes. I needed a connective element and thought a clockface with its division into four quarters would make sense.

The ending… *cries* Did you plan to wrench hearts on purpose from day 1?
No! Each story just happened and was inspired by something different. 

Would you like to share anything about your current or upcoming works with readers?
I’m currently writing a story inspired by comicfan’s Bloody Valentine prompt.  My editor thought it has the potential to become something longer: a novella or even a novel.
I’m also working on a murder mystery story ‘The Puppeteer.’  ;)

 

Don't forget to share your thoughts about the stories below!

I loved this series.  It's hard to pick a favorite out of the four.  I still remember sobbing as I read the last story.  Great interview!  I can't wait to read "The Puppeteer" and of course, vampires.  :D

I loved the series too, and I won't pick a favorite. I say read them all... you won't be disappointed. And yes, it was a great interview. :)

Thank you!

I tried to make each story with a different focus, so I think it's an interesting question  which one  you guys liked  the most.

This is a great series that shows off Addy's creativity.  I loved 3:00 PM the most because its shows the perversity of humanity so well.  We want so badly, sometime we almost screw up the reward.  Awesome group of stories.

 

Thank you , Cole. :)

3:00 PM  was a balancing act. I didn't want Romeo come across as whiny but rather insecure. It was meant to reflect the early times of a relationship.
