    Fran Friel - Writer's Interests
GeneralI spend most of my time writing, talking with writers, and did I mention writing...

Another interest I have in life is the philosophy of "Paying It Forward." So with that idea in mind, I'm using this space to highlight the work or activities of interesting, talented and wonderful people. I hope you enjoy it!

MusicI spent the first half of my life as a musician, so I love music of all kinds - I was trained as a classical musician but I have a real fondness for a wide variety of World Music, including African, Celtic, Asian, Bluegrass.... Traditional jazz is always delicious, and of course, I was raised on ROCK N ROLL!
MoviesI love movies almost as much as I love writing and books! I especially enjoy indie films from the UK, but my favorite movie genre is sci-fi. Few things make me happier than a great movie!
TelevisionConsidering all the channels, there doesn't seem to be a whole lot to watch on TV these days (good thing, or I'd waste WAY too much time in front of the tube), but I do enjoy The Daily Show, NOW, Doctor Who, Heroes, Battlestar Galactica, Torchwood, Eureka, LOST, Extras and Northern Exposure (love those reruns).
BooksI read mostly sci-fi, horror and fantasy with a few mainstream and literary titles thrown in for good measure. I love books...the look, the feel, the smell of them...YUMM.

______________________________________________________________


______________________________________________________________

FRAN FRIEL is a Bram Stoker nominated author living in rural New England with her husband and their band of animal masters. She spends quality time with said hubby pretending they live in Maui. Residing in Connecticut, this pretending requires a vivid imagination, which brings us back to the writing.

Fran's collection, Mama's Boy and Other Dark Tales will be released by Apex Publications on July 28th. Pre-Orders are now available - Click Here!

In 2005, Fran joined The Horror Library as a fiction contributor, weekly columnist and blog wrangler for the The HL Blog-O-Rama. Her debut novella, MAMA'S BOY, was sold-out by Insidious Publications, Summer 2006, and nominated for a Bram Stoker Award in Long Fiction. Also, you'll find Fran's "Bad Music" in the anthology, TINY TERRORS 2 from UK publisher, Hadesgate Publications.

You can also visit Fran at the Yada Feast, The Yada Annex at LiveJournal, and at her website The Lair of Author Fran Friel. _____________________________________________________________

It was a delight getting to meet you at HyperiCon- and being on a panel alongside you was both surreal and incredibly enjoyable.
