MEET THE AUTHOR
FEATURED AUTHOR: JACK CASTLE
Hello and welcome to Silver Beans Café. My name is Jacks, and I am one of the interviewers here at SBC. Today I am happy to be sitting down with the SCI-FI/FANTASY, SUPERNATURAL, THRILLERS, AND HORROR author JACK CASTLE!
Thank you, for being here today. WELCOME! Let’s just jump right into the interview. Please introduce yourself.
I’m Jack Castle. First and foremost, thank you for having me :)
You're most welcome. Thank you for being here! (Jacks)
Let's continue on by GETTING TO KNOW YOU. What GENRE DO YOU WRITE?
I’ve had several books published in several genres: Sci-fi/Fantasy, Supernatural, Thrillers, and one straight up horror…
…but I love writing in the “STRANGER WORLD” universe the most, which pretty much encompasses all genres. That’s probably why I’m writing 12 of them!
“The lines of imagination and reality never have been so blurred as in the amazing yet sinister theme park so creatively envisioned by Jack Castle!”
-The Spokesman Review
Let’s chat more ABOUT THE BOOKS.
Can you please let us know, WHERE DO YOU DRAW INSPIRATION FROM FOR YOUR BOOKS?
I’ve had quite a few adventures traveling the world, plus past jobs (professional stuntman, Alaskan tour guide, police officer) offers up the most fuel for my books.

What is one of the BEST THINGS ABOUT WRITING?
Writing literally takes me places I would never otherwise go. For example, if I’m writing a supernatural thriller that takes place in the Everglades, I’ll call up one of my buddies and we’ll fly down to Florida and go tromping through the Everglades. In one day we took an airboat ride through a swamp, nearly got eaten by a rogue gator and later that night, we ate some gator in this seedy biker bar. Coincidentally, my third book, “White Death”, was inspired while working law enforcement duties in the Arctic where I nearly got eaten by a polar bear on my first day on the job. Hmmm… seems to be a trend here :)
Haha! It certainly does. Please continue. (Jacks)
Also, getting published has definitely offered me opportunities to reconnect with old friends, but I also really-really enjoy meeting new ones from all walks of life: Film producers to Astronauts, FBI directors to theme park owners; you just never know who you’re going to meet!
Outside of writing what are SOME OF YOUR OTHER INTERESTS?
Aside from trying to be the best father, husband and Christian I can, my greatest passion is new adventures. It isn’t enough for me to visit Acapulco; I have to dive off a cliff with the world famous cliff divers. I can’t just visit the Arctic on a tour bus, but would rather take a job where I protect engineers from polar bears.
What is one of the BEST PIECES OF ADVICE that you received or a QUOTE THAT YOU LIVE BY?
Carpe Diem: (Seize the Day) which I interpret as, Live each day like it’s your last.
I love that! (Jacks)
What is one thing that YOU WOULD LIKE TO SAY TO YOUR READERS?
What would I like to tell? I’m under non-disclosure, so I’m not allowed to say :(. All I can is this… if you want to get on the ground floor, check out Stranger World

Today we have a treat for all of you. Check out the blurbs to decide which title you want to read first from best-selling author JACK CASTLE.
READ YOUR COPY OF STRANGER WORLD
A place where homicidal monarchs reign, ravenous dinosaurs roam, flying steamships rule the sky, and the tea parties are enough to drive a Hatter Mad.
A combat helicopter pilot is killed in action, a French microbiologist arrives from a far-flung future, and an accountant from the 1970’s who looks out only for himself, all awaken into this amazing yet sinister world with no memory of how they arrived or how to return to their own time. They are soon joined by a snarky Leftenant, desperate to reclaim her lost airship, a friendly gargoyle that may or may not eat cats, and an enigmatic Lamppost Man, who, despite his nasty habit of getting everyone in trouble, just may be… the key… to everything.
