Greatly excited for today’s guest! Alicia Hilton is a fantastic author and poet and continues to release new and exciting work all the time. She’s always been super supportive and now, I’m happy to welcome her as today’s 3Q’s guest!

Welcome Alicia!

Steve: What does your writing time look like? Do you try and write at the same time each day? Do
you have a word count you attempt to hit?

Alicia: I don’t tend to write at the same time each day. My writing schedule depends on the projects that I’m working on and whether I’m traveling. I tend to be most productive when I’m in a quiet room, so I don’t play music while I write. When the words are flowing, I keep working—sometimes until past 3:00 AM. Rather than setting word count goals, I set project goals. For instance, today I edited one of my short stories and wrote a new poem.

Steve: You decide to host a writer’s retreat. One weekend in a luxury house on an island. What
three other authors do you invite to come along?

Alicia: That’s a tough question. There are so many fantastic authors that I’d like to invite! If I was compelled to narrow the list to three people, I’d invite A.C. Wise because of her vivid imagination, Jeff VanderMeer because of his appreciation for nature, and Joe Lansdale because of his wonderful sense of humor.

Steve: Tell me about your newest release (novel/story/poem/novella) and why someone should
read it!

Alicia: My latest release is Alternative Holidays, published by B Cubed Press. I co-edited the anthology and contributed a story and a poem. Alternative Holidays transports readers from the bottom of the sea to Mount Olympus, from shopping malls in hell to a bathtub in a cheap motel. Cthulhu awakens. Cupid becomes a vigilante. Santa grants deadly wishes. And that is just the beginning of your journey into visions of the holidays we know, love, and sometimes fear.

Steve: Bonus Question! You receive an invitation in the mail from one of these two people. The invitation
invites you to have dinner and spend the night in their home. Do you accept the invitation from Victor
Frankenstein or Dracula and why?

Steve: Could I resist an invitation from Dracula? Vampires are terrifying and alluring. Immortality, the power to shape-shift, the ability to fly—all are tempting reasons to succumb to a bite and become a bloodsucker, but I’d rather remain a mortal. If I dined with Dracula, I’d persuade the Prince of Darkness and his undead friends to keep their fangs away from my flesh.

Fantastic! Thank you so much, Alicia!
