Crafting Poetry One Syllable at a Time
Posted on August 15, 2019 by Colleen M. Chesebro
Hello everyone! This week I’m thrilled to bring you one of my favorite award winning authors, Vashti Quiroz-Vega. I asked her to pick three or four questions from my huge list HERE which she did. But stayed tuned… Vashti and I have a candid discussion behind some of the themes she explores in her books!
I love Vashti’s writing and believe me, I know what I’m talking about! I’ve read and reviewed, The Fall of Lilith. Read my review HERE. I’ve also read and reviewed, Son of the Serpent. Read that review HERE.
Please meet my guest author, Vashti Quiroz-Vega, who is also an accomplished poet.
Vashti Quiroz-Vega is a writer of Fantasy, Horror, and Thriller. Since she was a kid she’s always had a passion for writing and telling stories. It has always been easier for her to express her thoughts on paper.
Amazon Author Page
She enjoys reading almost as much as she loves to write. Some of her favorite authors are Stephen King, Michael Crichton, Anne Rice, J.R.R. Tolkien, J.K. Rowling and George R. R. Martin.
She enjoys making people feel an array of emotions with her writing. She likes her audience to laugh one moment, cry the next and clench their jaws after that.
When she isn’t building extraordinary worlds and fleshing out fascinating characters, she enjoys spending time with her husband JC and her Pomeranian Scribbles who is also her writing buddy.
Hi, Colleen. Thanks so much for this opportunity to share my books. I’m really looking forward to our chat.
Sounds good. Ask away. I’m happy to share.
Absolutely not. My stories are not about the devil, he happens to be a character in my stories but the stories are not about him and even if they were it wouldn’t mean I was a Satanist.
I believe in God and angels, so I believe that just like there are good entities there must also be evil ones. How can people like Ted Bundy, Tsutomu Miyazaki, Jack the Ripper, Ahmad Suradji, Adolf Hitler, Andrei Chikatilo among others exist if there wasn’t a devil?
Witches have gotten a bad wrap through the years. Remember the evil witch from “Hansel and Gretel” who snatches up children to eat? How about Bette Midler’s character in “Hocus Pocus”?
In real life, a witch can look like anyone else. To me a witch is simply someone who is aware of her own power and puts that power into action.
That would depend on one’s definition of what being religious entails. I believe in the Golden Rule, “do unto others as you would have them do unto you”. I’ve also added, “treat others like you would like others to treat your children, parents, spouse, or friend.” If you would like others to treat your children with patience and kindness, be patient and kind to other children. If you want your elderly parents or grandparents to be treated with respect and dignity, treat every elderly person you come in contact with the same way.
I believe in doing good deeds and being kind and fair. I don’t believe that going to a church every week or every day makes one a good person. Although there are many good people who attend churches, synagogues, mosques . . . there are also many self-righteous people who wear the facade of good, caring individuals when in fact they are nothing but selfish hypocrites with their own agendas.
I have no doubt that there are many lovely churches and temples with wonderful congregations but churches and temples are merely buildings. I’ve always felt closest to God surrounded by nature.
Why does a person eat, sleep, or breathe? To live. That’s the same reason I write––to live.
These have always been the genres that I’ve been attracted to since I was a child. We all have a dark side, dark thoughts. I believe writing dark fiction helps me purge the darkness inside me in a positive way.
I’ve always loved reading fantasy (High, Epic, Dark), horror, thriller, and science fiction, but I have read books in other genres from time to time. However, since I joined the Rave Reviews Book Club I’ve read many books from different genres. I’m always surprised at how much I enjoy them. Some of those genres have really grown on me.
No. As a matter of fact, I have at times asked myself, what is the opposite I would do in a certain scenario, in order to determine the villain’s next move. I have done research on serial killers, tyrants, and the criminally insane in order to come up with the personalities and traits of my villains. I’m not a perfect saint but I’m also not evil.
I probably wouldn’t say anything, but for the sake of the interview, I would first remind my readers that my books are not religious, non-fiction books. They are fantasy fiction. Some readers just can’t differentiate fiction, from non-fiction. They believe everything they read, and I consider that to be dangerous.
I would also tell them that if they do not like my portrayal of angels, maybe they should write their own book depicting angels in the manner they feel is right.
And lastly, I am neither the first nor the last author to write about angels and demons or to create my own version of heaven and hell. There’s “Inferno” by Dante, “Paradise Lost” by John Milton, “Eric” by Terry Pratchett, “The Screwtape Letters” by C.S. Lewis, “What Dreams May Come” by Richard Matheson and many more. I’m in good company.
Some people claim to be religious while knowing very little about their own religion. I’ve also discovered that the people that are truly religious and knowledgeable about the doctrine and scriptures of their faith don’t have a problem with my books, or any books like mine. Many readers have enjoyed books like mine because they see them for what they are––works of fiction.
I believe in magick. I believe the mind is a powerful instrument and people can achieve miracles with the power of positive thinking. You may call it prayer, faith . . . People have cured themselves from incurable diseases because they thought it possible. I have experienced both the power of positive thinking as well as the power of negative thinking. Positive thinking is like a spell of protection. Magick is about raising and directing energy to fulfill your intentions.
I have my dark moments like everyone else, I suppose. I do my share of brooding, but I do not consider myself a dark, moody or pessimistic person. On the contrary, I always try to see the glass half full. I have actually been accused of smiling too much or being too happy at times. I try to see the good in people because I believe there is good in most people. I don’t hold grudges. I rather confront someone who I believe has done me wrong and tell him or her how I feel because then I can move on and forget about it.
It’s called, Memoir of a Mad Woman. Who can explain how madness begins? Thanks for the fun interview. ❤

I agree with your thoughts on religion.
If God is out there, he can see us everywhere, not just in a temple or church, worshipping. He knows us inside and out.
And as long as you are a genuinely good person, it matters not, how many hours you put in at your chosen place of worship. 💜🙏🏽

A fabulous author interview, Colleen. My new book is along these same lines as Vashti’s in that it features, God and Satan. I am definitely not anti-religion, in fact, I believe I am quite a religious person I just don’t always appreciate the man made structures of the traditional churches.

Within many cultures the truth is hidden in full view, but over the millennia distortions are created.. The gods… lower case intended, fallen ‘Angels’ .. Churches with their gargoyles, serpents, dragons, etc…
I think many will be witnessing more mythical creatures as the ‘field’ begins to dissolve for those awake enough to See them.. Little by little strange things will be witnessed, which can not be explained away..
Fairies are among the 5D, I am sure.. Your new book in progress sounds fascinating, and we then have to ask ourselves from where does our ‘imagination’ come from? 😉
Wishing you well with your writing Colleen.. Truth is stranger than Fiction as they say 😉 🙂
Much love ❤

I love this interview, Vashti and Colleen.
I agree with you, Vashti, that going to church doesn’t make one a Christian or a God believer. I consider myself spiritual, being in touch with God, rather than religious, keeping the rituals. I’ve read Son of the Serpent and find traces of the dark side of human nature, but your characters are gentle. I read Memoir of a Mad Woman, and sadly, it’s a memoir and there are many unwritten of such stories out there. I still have your third book, Vashti!

Hi, Miriam! Sometimes people forget that churches, synagogues, and mosques are just buildings and you’re not guaranteed to become your best self just by spending time in one.
