Recently I spoke with Justin Gustainis, author of Quincey Morris Supernatural Investigation: Black Magic Woman. Mr Gustainis's second QUINCEY MORRIS novel, Evil Ways, will be released on Dec 30, 2008. Don't miss my review of Black Magic Woman.
Kelly: Why Quincey Morris? That is, how did you come up with the idea of making your hero a descendant of Stoker's character, and why that particular Stoker character?
Justin Gustainis: I've always thought that Quincey Morris got pretty short shrift in Stoker's original novel. His role is little more than a walk-on. I've long been curious about him.
