Featured Interview With Lailo Lema
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was born in Nashville, TN but I currently reside in Florida. I’ll admit, I am more of a northern girlie in terms of places I’ve enjoyed living. I used to live in Denver, CO and it was one of my favorites. I’m getting weary of the heat. I don’t have any pets but I would love to have a bunny nursery one day.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I was fascinated with books from kindergarten. The school librarian was so sweet, she would read us Froggy books and her narrations where so animated and fun. I started writing after creating audio stories a few years back. I really wanted my stories to be perfected so I put them onto paper to make them better.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I’m a big fan of Devin McCamey and Jasper L’Estrange. A bit different from the stories I write but I find their woek to be very comforting and I appreciate their use of art and narration to create a cinematic storytelling experience. My favorite genres are extreme horror, gothic fairytales, dark romance, and cosmic or folk horror.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
Latest story I have written is ‘Off’ a story following a woman who is sick and desperate for her lover’s reassurance. Her partner will stop at nothing to prove to her that he cares, even if it means sacrificing himself. It is a short horror story about love, madness, and needing someone way too much.
