The low-down on
J. A. McMullen...
When his therapist asked him where he got his imagination, the author replied, “Many drugs in my youth and a life devoted to depravity.”
It definitely shows in “The Rise and The Fall and The Rise of a Redheaded Witch.”
“I know all the characters, and they are infuriating. Lots of different cultures are freely appropriated. Maybe a little humor. I also go after all those religions that burned women at the stake. Oh, sex and violence. Maybe more graphic than you’re used to.”
About the characters, he adds, “I was also a red-haired only child, so I know wherever I write.”
