Marie's Blurbs

About me:
I live in Chesterfield, in the Midlands in the UK, and I write horror and dark fantasy, my first collection came out in 2006 and I'm currently trying to place a novel whilst working on the second one, and I'm also very interested in screenwriting. I also teach creative writing, and write reviews/articles/interviews for various magazines - as long as it's involved with writing in some way, I'll do it :) Details of what I've done or am currently doing can be seen on my website, www.marieoregan.net, and I'm currently Chairperson of the British Fantasy Society. I have four great kids, and am married to horror writer Paul Kane.

Who I'd like to meet:
Anyone interested in the genre - especially other writers, or people involved in genre film-making in some way.

Del	Jan 18 2008 3:16 AM Is there such a condition as "techno-frustration"? If so I'm going through that with my new cell phone, which defies explanation. I think my new career will be rewriting "documentation" for all the gadgetory crap we add to our lives.
John Everson	Dec 24 2007 3:50 PM Christmas is a Time for Magic!! I've stepped a little outside my normal "horror writer" persona this week :-) To celebrate the season, I've created a Holiday Madness page, with links to a free Christmas short fantasy story ("Christmas, The Hard Way"), a rock 'n' roll holiday song I wrote and recorded a few years ago ("Show Me Christmas"), holiday wallpaper for your computer and more. You can hear the song and follow the link from my MySpace page, or just click the banner below. Darkest Holidays to you!

Arcadia, Exeter	Jul 16 2007 10:23 PM Thanks for the add. Welcome to the Vampire Capitol of the New World "...He pictured her catching the back of her waistband in her thumbs and bending over to slide them down. The material stretching a bit more, to accommodate her widest part… then receding, as she slid the pants down her long legs. Her cheeks expanding and spreading open lusciously, freeing themselves from their imprisonment, as she folded completely over to caress her ankles… A strange wave seemed to carry him deeper into his memory… As his brain made the obvious associations, the letters of a name fell into place like pictures in a slot machine... Kat… The name snapped him back into the Lemans, “Wait, wait. Nevermind her… why are you going to Exeter?”..." "...The jaw was like a razor-lined vise as it clamped into his left shoulder. Tainted saliva from the drooling mouth seeped into the fabric of his shirt and was forced into his violated flesh. He winced with pain as the teeth tore through his clothing and ripped away a superficial chunk of skin. Blood coursed out of the wound and soaked the surrounding area of his shirt. The lifeless man chewed on the stolen meat for a moment and spit it out like a wad of old gum. An effervescent surge of pain ran through his arm as he held him back. He pressed his Glok under the chin of the man and pulled the trigger..." -Excerpts from "Arcadia" by Paul H Manning

Betsy Palmer	Jun 17 2007 12:43 AM AND LOOK FOR MY NEW FILM BELL WITCH THE MOVIE THIS SEPTEMBER PLEASE SUPPORT IT AND REQUEST TO BE THEIR FRIEND HERE ON MYSPACE BELL WITCH: THE MOVIE RELEASES SEPTEMBER, 2007 Burbank (CA) – Executives of Big River Pictures and Cinemarr Entertainment announced today that their first joint feature film, BELL WITCH: The Movie, will be released to home video via HD DVD, Blu-Ray and Internet on September 1, 2007. The long awaited feature film from director S. Shane Marr starring Betsy Palmer (Mrs. Voorhees – Friday the 13th) was the first movie about the Bell Witch to be shot, with principal photography ending in November 2002. Marr, a High Definition purist, says the film’s release was held until HD viewing capabilities were more readily available to home viewers. “We shot BELL WITCH in 24p 1080 HD back in 2002,” Marr says, “but we decided to hold the film until it could be released in HD so that people could see it as it was meant to be viewed.” In keeping with the HD focus, the movie’s September 2005 premiere at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville was shown using Sony’s new 4K High Definition Cinema Projector. It was the first time that projector had been used for a movie premiere. In keeping with Marr’s vision of a true High Definition release of BELL WITCH: The Movie, it will have an exclusive early release this summer on HD DVD and Blu-Ray prior to its wide release in both HD and Standard Definition in September. BELL WITCH: The Movie retells the haunting legend of The Bell Witch of Adams, Tennessee, a historically documented haunting that took place in the early 1800s.
