for the writing asks: 3 for PoNR 4 for Aphelion 9 for The Long Con and then one of your choice for either Recall or Unfinished THANK YOU HOPE YOU'RE HAVING A GREAT DAY.

Hi Rachael!! Thanks for sending these!! My day has been busy but productive so I cannot and will not complain! I hope you're having a great day, too!

3: What’s your favorite line of narration?

First of all, thank you from the bottom of my heart for asking this about Point of No Return.

This one was easy for me. It was one of the very first things I imagined when I started thinking about this story and about what Ezra and Clara's relationship was like and what life on the Thulian farm was like. It's this lazy scene from Part Four that takes place during the rainy season on Kamrea, when all the work is done and they can finally rest:

Propping himself up on his side, he reached out to brush the fingers of his right hand over the cluster of freckles that covered the curve of her shoulder. There were seventeen individual points to that particular constellation, and he could trace over each one with his eyes closed. Ezra had never felt the urge to count the stars or the desire to know how many of them there were in the sky. The first time that part of her body was revealed to him however, he needed to commit each detail of that design to memory. 

Typically covered by clothing, the scattershot of sun kissed splotches on her left shoulder wasn’t the only place where Clara had freckles. A sprinkling of them would spring up across her face after long hours under the burning harvest star, another handful thrown haphazardly over her knees and the backs of her calves, more dotting her forearms and wrists, and he had spent hours lavishing each one of those little stars with attention. But the blossom of freckles on her shoulder drew his eye, his touch, his lips more readily and involuntarily than did any other part of her body. Collecting her soft hair between his fingers, he swept it away so that he could lean over to kiss the top of her shoulder. She was laying on her stomach, the white sheet draped over her lower half and her cheek pressed into the pillow. Shifting closer, he tucked her under his arm and let his kiss climb up the side of her throat. 

4: What’s your favorite line of dialogue?

This one is TOUGH when it comes to Aphelion because I feel like the dialogue is some of the strongest stuff in that story.

But sticking to dialogue that I've written for this one, I think this bit between Oberyn and Tyene in Part Ten was my favorite because aside from the Reader/Oberyn dynamic, I think the Oberyn/Tyene dynamic is my favorite to write:

“I was going to ask if you were up for a few rounds of sparring.” That got her attention far more than whatever she’d chosen to read - you could tell from the way that her shoulders lifted, chest expanding with an unnecessary intake of breath. You knew Oberyn saw it, too, the corners of his mouth twitching upwards before he spoke again. “It has been a long time since we have trained together.”  You blinked, your own excitement to see him in action growing at the thought of getting to watch the two of them practicing their combat skills with each other. Oh, this is going to be something.  “Sure.” Without lifting her eyes from the magazine that she was reading, Tyene tilted her head as she spoke. “But I’ll give you some time to warm up first, Oberyn.” She flipped the page, lifting a brow in an attempt to feign mild interest at whatever headline was scrawled atop the new one. A slight smirk that she couldn’t contain curved her lips as she turned another page. “Let you shake out the rust before I -” The rich, full sound of his warm laughter pulled your focus back to his face. Small creases formed around his eyes, stretching out like sun rays as his smile pushed his cheeks higher.  “Easy, little snake.” He warned her with the arch of an eyebrow. “Never forget who taught you how to strike.”  “I could never.” Tyene grinned, adjusting her position to settle more deeply into the armchair. Crossing her legs, she cocked her head to the side. “But you shouldn’t forget that part of what you taught me was that there is always more to learn.” She clicked her tongue against her teeth. “Like you said, it’s been a long time since we’ve trained together. I might have picked up a thing or two since then.”  Oberyn chuckled, his shoulders lifting slightly. The gleam in his dark eyes was playful and teasing, but in it you also saw pride and affection for Tyene, the expression tugging at your heart. They mean so much to each other.  “Good.” He nodded. “I’m counting on it.”  

9: Were there any alternate versions of this fic?

Short answer? Nope. In all fairness, it barely even exists in its current form. But The Long Con, while very neglected (not really, I am just intimidated by PATS and by writing the smut that this story requires) has probably undergone the least number of changes and versions in the draft/outline of any of my active wips. I've known since I started planning it what I wanted to happen at the end. If anything, the middle bits have... not really changed but solidified since then. I know where we're going but the drive is not easy so I'm procrastinating.

13: What music did you listen to, if any, to get in the mood for writing this story? Or if you didn’t listen to anything, what do you think readers should listen to to accompany us while reading?

Gonna go with Unfinished for this one, because I have been listening to the playlist for it for days on repeat and I really like the vibes:

Love Like Ghosts by Lord Huron

Reaching Out to You by Snow Patrol

Tessellate by Alt-J

Autumn by The Gaslight Anthem

Over The Love by Florence + the Machine

Back to You by John Mayer

For Me, It's You by Lo Moon

Thank you again for sending these in!!

While Jonas is busy fumbling and stammering, Doom just grins and goes to lean casually against a nearby stand of magazines.

A little too casually, because the whole thing falls over under her weight, spilling Rachael Ray and National Enquirer all over the floor alongside the scattered mess of canned baked beans and corn and everything else she's thrown about in her effort to spook the shit out of people.

By the time she rights herself and goes to put her attention back on Jonas, he's made off for the exit and left a small pile of money in his wake like a loot drop.

She decides to let this one go. She's already scared enough piss out of him.

Going over to the money, she scoops it off the floor and dutifully goes over to the register to put it in. Well, she pushes a bunch of buttons on it and slams her fists against it until the drawer opens, anyway, and then she puts the cash into it. She's not a criminal, after all.

And as for whether the Black Rabbit of Death and Jonas will meet again?

Well, mayhaps. Mayhaps they will. Only fate will know.

Jonas's eyes did get a little whiter with terror when she casually mentioned *murder*. When she finally made things clear for him, the best he could manage was a weak little " eheh " before he got to his feet and verrrryyyy carefully began edging backwards into the direction of what he hoped was the exit.

" Yeahhh uh uh so hope y-you...have fun with...all uh t-this? " he stuttered, making a quick little all-encompassing gesture at the blacked out supermarket. " I...r-really gotta...get back to making...p-panna cotta ahah...a lot of panna cotta in-in fact because I don't uhm uh...really feel like...sleeping now. H-here uh actually..."

He dug around in his pocket and tossed a few bills onto the floor. " Youcangivethattotheemployeesforthemilksoooooookbye!! "

Pwing! Off he scrambles.

Rachael Ray used to have a talkshow and now has a YouTube channel where she interviews people. Call me when Renee replaces that homewrecker on Good Morning America or when she paid enough money to people magazine to name her the next Barbara Walters

Do I understand this in the right manner?  This woman has a TV show and a YouTube show?  But our good old unwashed friend Renee Jane is only on the YouTube show?  Because she's not announced for the TV show?!

I’ve never stopped thinking about reading one of my mom’s Rachael Ray magazines in probably 2009 about how Rachael ray’s favorite band is the raveonettes. Like I’ll just listen to I wanna be adored or boys who rape should all be destroyed and I’m imagining Rachael Ray vibing in her kitchen with her EVOO and cans of San marzano tomatoes

Blu-ray Review: Forgotten Gialli: Volume 1

One of the most reliable distributors when it comes to unearthing obscure genre films, Vinegar Syndrome has released Forgotten Gialli: Volume One, a Blu-ray box set containing a trio of giallo - or, European murder-mysteries - that have never received distribution in the U.S.: 1973's The Killer Is One of 13, 1975's The Police Are Blundering in the Dark, and 1978's Trauma.

The Killer Is One of 13 is a Spanish giallo by way of Agatha Christie. Lisa Mandel (Patty Shepard, Slugs) invites a collection of acquaintances to her elegant, isolated home for reasons unknown to the guests. As she reveals over dinner, it's the second anniversary of her husband's mysterious passing, so she has gathered 13 people who may have benefited from his death, convinced one of them is responsible.

Despite the very specific title, there are more than 13 suspects when you factor in everyone; from guests to family members to the help. Director/co-writer Javier Aguirre (Count Dracula’s Great Love) and co-writer Alberto S. Insúa (Count Dracula’s Great Love) do an admirable job painting each character as a potential culprit, as everyone has both motives and flaws. However, as is often the case with ensemble murder-mysteries, it's difficult to keep track of the ancillary characters, some of whom are barely developed.

Far more restrained than its Italian brethren, the film's pacing is rather uneven. It's heavy on exposition throughout the first two acts, but the intriguing mystery drives it until the murders begin. That doesn't occur until 63 minutes into the 95-minute film, leading to an unrelenting, if rushed, final act. The big reveal isn't all that surprising if you pay attention to the clues, but it's not dissatisfying.

Cinematographer Francisco Fraile's (Dr. Jekyll vs. The Werewolf) ambitious camerawork - almost always roving or zooming - provides a kineticism to offset the long stretches of dialogue, even if focus is occasionally soft. A propulsive soundtrack would have helped further, but instead Alfonso Santisteban's (The Mummy’s Revenge) score is often hokey.

In addition to Shepard, the cast features several faces that may be familiar to Eurocult enthusiasts. Spanish character actor Simón Andreu (Beyond Re-Animator) plays a smug playboy; American expat Jack Taylor (The Ninth Gate) plays as an unappreciated artist; Spanish cinema royalty Carmen Maura (Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown) has an early role as the wife of an unstable older man; and Spanish horror legend Paul Naschy (The Werewolf vs. The Vampire Woman) has a small part as the chauffeur.

The Killer Is One of 13 has been newly restored in 2K from its 35mm original negative. The disc includes an audio commentary by film critic and Diabolique magazine editor-in-chief Kat Ellinger. Since information on the production is scarce, she contextualizes the film relative to the giallo subgenre, making for an interesting listen.

The Police Are Blundering in the Dark’s title is more interesting than the movie itself, as it seems director Helia Colombo (this being his sole credit) was blundering in the dark during the making of his Italian giallo. The cold open could be mistaken for a cliched '80s slasher: an attractive woman gets a flat tire and is chased by a killer through the woods, during which her blouse inexplicably opens as she runs, exposing her breasts before she's caught and stabbed with a pair of scissors.

It clocks in at a scant 87 minutes - rather brief by giallo standards - yet feels drawn out. The aforementioned woman is the latest in a string of murder victims, all of whom served as models for an impotent, wheelchair-bound photographer, Parisi. Giorgio D'Amato (Joseph Arkim), the journalist boyfriend of one of the victims, heads to Parisi's villa outside of Rome to investigate, learning that the photographer has invented a camera that captures its subjects' thoughts. This unexpectedly fantastical plot point is harnessed to solve the mystery a la Four Flies on Grey Velvet.

Despite being the most traditional giallo film of the trio included in the set, the picture fails to deliver on any of the pillars of the subgenre. After setting up a middling mystery, the midsection is bogged down by talky melodrama, while the eventual solution is preposterous. Beyond that, the kills are tame, Giancarlo Pancaldi's cinematography is pedestrian, and Aldo Saitto's score is forgettable.

The Police Are Blundering has been newly restored in 2K from its 35mm original negative. In lieu of an audio commentary, film historian and critic Rachael Nisbet provides a “historical audio essay.” It is exactly that; a breathless 16-minute amalgam of facts and critical analysis. It's thorough if dry, akin to reading a well-researched Wikipedia entry. A promotional image gallery is also included.

Not to be confused with Dario Argento's later giallo of the same name, Trauma is a Spanish giallo riff on Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. It centers on Veronica (Ágata Lys, The Holy Innocents), who runs a quaint inn in rural Spain while caring for her unseen, handicapped husband. She's smitten with Daniel (Heinrich Starhemberg), a mysterious and charming author that checks in, to the point where she becomes visibly annoyed when other guests interrupt their flirting.

Director León Klimovsky (The Werewolf vs. The Vampire Woman) and writers Juan José Porto (Cross of the Devil) and Carlos Puerto (Satan's Blood) position the film as a mystery, but when a black-gloved assailant begins murdering the guests with a straight razor, the options for the killer's identity are quite limited.

The film is rather slow moving yet sleazy. Nearly every character, regardless of gender, sheds their clothing at some point. Cinematographer Pablo Ripoll (Tombs of the Blind Dead) captures it all with voyeuristic delight. Composer Ángel Arteaga (Frankenstein's Bloody Terror) crafted a Goblin-esque main title theme.

Starhemberg's position as executive producer of the film surely influenced the decision to (mis)cast him as the male lead. Beyond lacking chemistry with Lys, there are some unintentionally uncomfortable scenes in which he caresses a local boy. Antonio Mayans (Zombie Lake) plays an ill-fated hiker who takes refuge at the inn.

Trauma has been newly restored in 2K from its 35mm original negative. The disc includes an audio commentary by film historian Troy Howarth, who previously profiled the film in his 2019 book, So Deadly, So Perverse: Volume Three. Per usual, he takes a conversational approach to the track, which occasionally leads to tangents but ultimately provides a detailed analysis that digs into the history of giallo films.

Each of the discs is housed in its own Blu-ray case, and all three are packaged together in a box designed by Earl Kessler Jr. Limited to 5,000 units, it's available exclusively from Vinegar Syndrome. Having never been dubbed into English, the movies feature newly translated English subtitles to accompany the fresh scans.

A precursor to the slasher boom in the 1980s, the success of the giallo subgenre spawned a wide breadth of films, ranging from oft-discussed staples to hidden gems that barely saw a release beyond their theatrical debuts. With Forgotten Gialli, Vinegar Syndrome has breathed new life into three movies that fall squarely into the latter category. As it is subtitled Volume 1, I can only hope that more sets come to fruition.

Forgotten Gialli: Volume One is available now via Vinegar Syndrome.

January 2018 - After being featured in the 2018 edition of People Magazine’s Half My Size issue, highlighting people that made drastic weight loss changes, I was asked to be a guest on the Rachael Ray show. I got the chance to talk about weight loss but I also touched on eating as well as being active in ways that suit each person. I can’t post the entire thing here so if you’d like to see the full segment, use this link.
