He’s Not Hard To Find
“Lesbian Vampire College Girls” plunges readers into a journey of fame, self-discovery, and unexpected advocacy, woven within a tantalizing tale that blurs the lines between the erotic and a discourse on gender inequality. What was the inspiration for the setup of your story?
I was looking for a topical subject that I could inject into an absurd situation. I wasn’t trying to take a side, I was only hoping to cast a humorous perspective on how we often stampede to judgements without really thinking.
How did you navigate the balance between the erotic elements and the deeper themes that emerged in the novel, especially the unintended feminist championing?
That was relatively easy. I simply took a real subject, introduced it into a ridiculous situation and gave it unwaranted attention and credibility. Then I threw fame and money into the mix. We see this all the time today in our discussions and disagreements on politics, religion, sexual orientation, professional relationships and media. I think today’s generation think that the day of the hard-sell ended in the1950s-60s with Mad Men. Sorry, but I’m afraid that the day of the hard-sell is just beginning.
