Featured Interview With Jeff Pearson
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was raised in Akaktikaton, a small Inuit village north of the Arctic circle.
I now live in Notakitkaka, a small Inuit village south of the Antarctic circle.
I have a pet penguin named Sidney Crosby.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I became fascinated with books at the age of 45. That’s when I saw my first one. It was resting on a table, about thirty feet away from me. I was fascinated and curious about it but still too frightened to approach it.
I started writing about five months later when I figured out, on my own, how to use a pencil. The first thing I ever wrote was the letter “Q.” And the rest is now mystery history.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
My favourite author to read is legendary Inuit author, Larry Whalebone.
My favourite genre to read is Inuit erotica.
Larry Whalebone inspires me to try to write Inuit erotica but I’ve never “been with” an Inuit man or woman before so I have to really rely on my imagination–and Larry’s stories from the free-love, Arctic-Inuit, hippie era of the 1960s when seal-skin parkas were being shed faster than you could blow out a seal-blubber candle inside the penthouse wing of an igloo.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
My latest book is entitled, “Welcome to D*ck n B*lls Tower!” and strangely enough, it has no Inuit erotica in it whatsoever! Damn: and I just realized there’s a spot where it would have fit in there really nicely too. Anyways, all is not lost because even without the Inuit erotica…. Well, here’s a snippet from what an obviously brilliant reviewer said about my most recent book:
“If I had to summarize this cocktail of insanity, I’d say get a tall glass, add one shot of Terry Pratchett, a healthy measure of Hunter S. Thompson, top up with some Jim Jefferies and garnish with one of those special mushrooms people aren’t supposed to eat….”
(5 Stars)—Michael Gardner for Readers’ Favorite.
And here’s another one:
“Hysterical and inventive … an ingenious and brilliant work of art … I won’t be forgetting it any time soon.”
(5 Stars)—Foluso Falaye for Readers’ Favorite.
