Through the eyes the world is seen;
Picturesque mountains painting clouds serene,
Watching rivers run so slow;
Off to valleys
Where the green grass grows
In my distance I observe the plain,
Over there, and back again
Humble hornet's bat weighted wings,
But cure my eyesight with their potent stings;
I gradually change my view and line of sight
And cast my vision on coastal night
The wind catch's water,
And wave catch's rock ,
And on the great beach
Each pebble is dropped
Time gives abrasion,
And structure gives way;
All that is great and titanic
Will brake down to clay
So all that's left to wonder
Is true life ,
To bind a soul
With its embodied wife,
Or foresee a path so drenched
With its ink-less strife,
But I'll hear the moment
Great or small
And my dumb, deaf heart
Will transcend the call

Ugly as Sin **Book Blast**
Book Description
Nick Bullman was a wrestling superstar. His alter ego, The Widowmaker, was the monster heel all the marks loved to hate.
Now, after a brutal encounter with two psychotic fans left his face horribly disfigured, he's just a monster.
Yanked from the spotlight and thrust into the shadows, these days Nick tries to live the life of an average Joe. He avoids mirrors. He's angry. He's alone. And he likes it just fine that way...
Until he receives a desperate phone call from a young lady he barely knows--his daughter.
For the first time in over thirty years, Nick returns to his hometown of Midnight, North Carolina. There he will come face to face with old demons, forge new friendships, and make enemies far more dangerous than those who ruined his face, all in a quest to save the granddaughter he's never met...and maybe find a little bit of redemption along the way.
Ugly As Sin is an electrifying tale of "white-trash noir," a taut page-turner that skates the razor edge of a familiar, horrifying reality. At times heartbreaking, funny, and terrifyingly suspenseful, Ugly As Sin is Newman's best work to date.

Describing this story as White Trash Noir might make one think that
James Newman has decided not to write a horror story. Think again.
Ugly as Sin returns to Midnight , NC and leads the reader along what seems to be a simple kidnapping. But it is more. And when you find out how much more it will slap you in the face and punch you in the gut and you'll look around bleary-eyed and and ask yourself how you missed that.
More, sir. Please, Mr. Newman, may I have more?
Highest recommendations.

I was a bit worried when I purchased UGLY AS SIN that it would be about wrestling. I couldn’t have been more wrong.
James Newman hits a homerun with this novel that begins with a cringing horror beyond belief. Nick “The Widowmaker” Bullman is a wrestler who becomes horribly disfigured. Shortly thereafter he assaults the CEO of the Wrestling Association and barely escapes going to prison, but his wrestling days are over. Then his estranged daughter calls and tells him his young, teen-aged granddaughter he didn’t know about is missing. Newman takes us through a twisted, tangled story of interesting characters using prose that elicits imagery and pace. One character I had grown to like had me shouting (and cursing) in one particular scene.
Newman has a twisted imagination and he applies it to this contemporary story in ways that are life-like, believable, and can wring out strong emotion of profound regret and redemption. Tightly plotted, UGLY AS SIN is a fast read. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Newman earns one of my rare 5-stars.

I've come to realize that the one thing James Newman's stories have in
common is that he doesn't use "characters", he uses REAL people. The
people in Ugly As Sin feel as real to me as people I've known for years.
Newman infuses his stories with life--I have yet to read a book of his
that didn't grab me in an emotional context. I FELT for these people,
so much so that it's hard to take a break and go back to your
day-to-day activities without knowing what is in store for them.
This story starts out explosively with Nick (aka "The Widow-maker") getting ambushed by two delusional wrestling fans. After that, things take a decidedly downhill turn for the worse. Without any spoilers, I can honestly say that this was a brutally shocking, emotional story that will stay with you long after you've finished. The "people" here have a real presence, and will not simply leave your mind after you've moved on to the next book. This is the type of story that you will keep going back to, both mentally, and to re-read.
A solid 5 stars.
Highly recommended.

An Interview With Author, James Newman!!
|
| Photo by Kim White |
Where are you from?
Hendersonville, North Carolina, in the
foothills of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. Born and raised, and I don’t think I’d ever
want to live anywhere else in the world.
What inspired you to write your first book?
Dreams of wealth and fame. But things don’t always turn out the way we
expect them to, do they?
I’m totally joking. I just love a good story, always have, for as
far back as I can remember. I guess it
was a natural progression that I would eventually want to make up my own.
Do you write full-time or part-time? How do
you balance your writing life with your family/work life?
Part-time. And I’m cool with that, because I have a day
job that I love. As for balancing the
writing life with work and family, it’s never easy. I have a toddler running around these days,
so it’s probably never been as difficult as it has the last few years. But you just have to find the time to write
whenever you can. Excuses don’t cut it,
because plenty of better writers than myself make time to hone their craft
every single day. And if I tried to tell
you that I don’t have the time, my wife would call me on it. She would accuse me of having plenty of free
time to play on Facebook when I should be writing.
How did you come up with the title for your latest book?
Well, I’ve heard that phrase -- “ugly as
sin” – my whole life (no, not directed towards me, har-de-har-har), and it just
worked so well for this one. In the
Prologue, the main character of my novel, a professional wrestler by the name
of Nick Bullman, is horribly disfigured at the hands of two psychotic fans. I love the double meaning there – “ugly” as
it relates to poor Nick’s facial disfigurement and the way the public views him
now, but also as it relates to the bad business he finds himself caught up in
after he gets a phone call from his estranged daughter.
Do you always write horror, or do you experiment with other genres?
Actually, most of what I’m
writing these days isn’t really horror.
That’s true where my long-form work is concerned, anyway. I do still lean towards horror when I’m
writing short stories or novellas, but more and more when it comes to novels I
find I’m gravitating towards stuff that’s more suspense/thriller-oriented,
although usually with a streak of pitch-black humor running through it.
What are your favorite horror movies and
books? Which influenced your writing the most?
A few of my
favorite books (not just in the horror genre but “dark fiction” in
general): Christine, The
Shining, Psycho, Cage of Night by Ed Gorman, Lightning by
Dean Koontz, The Girl Next Door by Jack Ketchum, The House Next Door by
Anne Rivers-Siddons, Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn, University and
The Store by Bentley Little, Joe Lansdale’s Mucho Mojo and The
Two-Bear Mambo . . . I could go on and on.
Movies: Invasion of the Body Snatchers ’78, The
Exorcist, The Exorcist III: Legion, Return of the Living Dead,
the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, John Carpenter’s The Thing,
David Cronenberg’s The Fly, Let the Right One In, Se7en, Requiem
For a Dream. I’m also a huge Star
Wars nerd, a Dr. Who geek, and a Tarantino fanboy. Oh, yeah . . . and I have a thing for movies
about bank robbery.
As much as I love
to read, I’d almost say that books and movies have influenced me equally. John Carpenter, in his prime, was one of my
biggest inspirations. I’ve always been a
horror film fanatic. As a matter of
fact, 2014 will see the release of my first non-fiction project, a book
called 666 Hair-Raising Horror Movie Trivia Questions!. That’s gonna be a lot of fun.
K.N. Lee: Yes! I recall bonding over the
film Let the Right One In. It’s one of the best horror movies I’ve ever seen.
Good choices!
So what book are you reading now?
I just started reading Stephen King’s Doctor Sleep for the second time (I’m so in love with this novel; it’s the best thing he’s done in twenty years, in my opinion). I’m also finishing up a few single-author collections, such as Koontz’s Strange Highways, Brian Hodge’s Lies and Ugliness, and a re-read of Richard Chizmar’s Midnight Promises.

K.N. Lee: I’m buying Doctor Sleep today!
Stephen King is incredible.
Are there any new authors that have grasped your interest?
I’m ashamed to say I’m very much out of the loop with the “new blood” coming up. Let me get back to you on that.
I’m ashamed to say I’m very much out of the loop with the “new blood” coming up. Let me get back to you on that.
What are your current projects?
I’ve slowly but surely started work on the follow-up to Ugly As Sin, a new “Nick Bullman” story. There’s also a long-overdue collaboration that I’d like to jump into soon, a novella that I’ve been planning with a friend and fellow writer I admire a lot.

Name one entity that you feel supported you outside of family members.
My readers. I was very lucky in that my first novel, Midnight Rain, was accepted by the first publisher I sent it to; it did well, and created a decent little fanbase for me that continues to grow with every new book. So, at the risk of sounding like I’m kissing their butts, the folks who read my stuff and keep asking for more . . . they’re what keeps me going. There’s no feeling like it, and it never gets old.

K.N. Lee: That’s not surprising at all. I
enjoyed Midnight Rain!
If you had to do it all over again, would you change anything in your
latest book?
The desire to tinker with it just a little bit more is always there, even after it’s published, no doubt about it. Some writers probably struggle with it more than others – I’d be willing to bet I’m one of the worst. I agonize over every word, every sentence, every paragraph, until I finally say, “ENOUGH! It’s DONE. You have to STOP now.” Sooner or later you have to tell yourself that your work is as good as it’s going to be, and you can’t afford to miss another deadline. (laughs)

By the time each it’s published, though .
. . I’m usually 99% happy with it.
There’s some “distance” between myself and the work at that point, so
I’m no longer overthinking things or second-guessing myself.
Much.
Can you share a little of your current work with us?
Why not. Here’s a taste:
Why not. Here’s a taste:
Nick Bullman sat alone in his cell, breathing through
his mouth so he didn’t have to smell the clogged-up toilet a few feet away,
thinking on what he had done a few hours ago.
He felt no regrets. Would have done it all over again, if given
the chance.
In fact, as he recalled the look he’d
seen on Darcy Devereaux’s face while his fists came down again and again like
two meaty ball-peen hammers bludgeoning her husband’s skull . . .
. . . he felt proud.
He knew that should have made him a
little sick. It should have turned his
stomach more than the shitter full of putrid brown water left behind by the
cell’s last tenant like a cruel gag gift.
But it didn’t. He felt only a
twisted sense of self-righteousness.
What
did that say about him as a human being?
Nick didn’t know.
All he knew was, he had to get out of
here before Paulie “Pencil-Dick” Deveraux woke up in the hospital room.
If he didn’t, if either Paulie or his
wife talked to the boys in blue before he had a chance to do so himself, there
wasn’t the slightest doubt in Nick Bullman’s mind . . .
All three of them were fucking dead as
Elvis.
Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?
Once upon a time, I would have told you that I struggle the most with creating realistic dialogue. These days, though, I think dialogue is one of the things I do best.
Once upon a time, I would have told you that I struggle the most with creating realistic dialogue. These days, though, I think dialogue is one of the things I do best.
So, again, I’d have to say that I always
find it difficult to stop tweaking, to decide that it’s time to let my “baby”
out into the world ‘cause it’s as perfect as it’s gonna get.
Who is your favorite author and what is it that really strikes you about
their work?
Joe R. Lansdale. I’ve always loved his “voice”, which is not
only real, it’s about as Southern as it gets. I can relate to that, of course, even though
Lansdale is from Texas and I’m from North Carolina. I also admire how he can describe something
horrible, yet somehow leave the reader laughing out loud even as he or she
squirms with discomfort.
What was the hardest part of writing your book?
With Ugly As Sin, I went into this book without an outline or anything remotely resembling an outline. I’m usually a “plotter”, not a “pants-er”; at the very least I have a list of scenes that I plan to write (even if I do write them out of order, which I often do, I know what’s going to happen in every – or at least nearly every -- chapter). This time, I didn’t do that. For the most part I knew how Ugly As Sin was going to end, I knew who was behind the mystery, how it would all be resolved, all that stuff, but early on I decided I was gonna throw caution to the wind this time, and try flying by the seat of my pants as far as I how things would progress from point A to point Z. It was scary, and although I don’t mind a little spontaneity – you’ve gotta have some, or it’s no fun – I’m not sure I’ll do that again. This novel took me a lot longer to write than most. I missed deadlines. And I remembered along the way exactly why I need to have some sense of structure. It’s just the way my brain works. My version of an “outline” is not anything that’s set in stone by any means, but it’s at least a lighted path that keeps me from stumbling around in the dark, if you will.

Did you learn anything from writing your book and what was it?
Don’t fly by the seat of your pants anymore, Newman, unless you want to finish one book every ten years. Get yourself an outline, ‘cause that’s what works for you.
Don’t fly by the seat of your pants anymore, Newman, unless you want to finish one book every ten years. Get yourself an outline, ‘cause that’s what works for you.
Do you have any advice for other writers?
Have a thick skin. Be professional. Negative reviews are going to happen, and you should know that going into this. I’ve seen folks who have been in this business for years -- people you’d think would be above such behavior -- act like complete infants because of a negative review. No good can come of arguing with someone who gave you their honest opinion.

No good can come of arguing with someone who gave you their honest opinion.
My second bit of advice: read your work aloud. Multiple times. You think it’s ready for publication after a
draft or two? It’s not. Read it aloud, especially the dialogue, and
you’ll find the stuff that still needs work.
K.N. Lee: I
personally want to thank you for helping guide me in my early days of trying to
become a published author. Your advice really helped me!
Now, is there anything specific that you
want to say to your readers?
Yes . . . THANK YOU. I’ve been writing “seriously” for about 13 years now, and it still blows my mind that there are folks out there – folks who aren’t related to me! – who not only buy my work, who not only enjoy it, but then beg for more. That’s awesome beyond words, man. I wish I were more prolific, and could give you what you want more frequently.

That’s awesome beyond words, man. I wish I were more prolific, and could give you what you want more frequently.
What do you think about e-publishing versus technical publishing?
I know, as a reader, I prefer a good,
old-fashioned book. I want to hold it,
feel it, SMELL it! I have no desire to
read on a computer screen. But that’s
just me. It’s the wave of the future,
and if that’s what folks want then we’ve gotta give it to them. It took me a while to dive into the
e-publishing pool, I guess because of my own bias against reading fiction in
that format. From a business standpoint,
that was extremely foolish on my part . . . royalties don’t lie!
K.N. Lee: You’re right. Royalties don’t
lie! But, an old-fashioned paper back will never go out of style! So, we’re dying to know
if you have an agent?
Not at the moment. And I’m cool with that.
Quick Fire!
If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
Like I said, right here at home. I love it here.
If you could have any super power, what would it be?
To heal the sick and injured. Imagine how cool that would be, and the
smiles you could put on people’s faces.
Favorite food?
When my wife cooks Mexican (fajitas,
quesadillas, burritos, whatever that might be).
There is nothing finer on this Earth.
Favorite hobby?
Hoops.
Despite a lifelong aversion to sports in general, I am a die-hard
college basketball fan (go Tar Heels!!!).
Guilty pleasure?
80s pop. I love that stuff. My favorite song from that era: “Cruel Summer”, by Bananarama.
No, I’m not kidding.
K.N. Lee: You’re not the only one, sir. That’s
a great song!
Best movie you’ve seen this year?
Well, it wasn’t a 2013 release, but one I saw
recently that was just released domestically earlier this year was an
Australian horror film called The Loved Ones. Advertised as The Breakfast Club meets
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (believe it or not, that’s pretty fitting),
it’s the scariest thing I’ve seen in years.
Movies featuring psychotic women usually
strike a chord with me, though.
What can I say. You scare me.
K.N. Lee: Excellent! I cannot wait to see
it!
Favorite book?
Boy’s Life, by Robert R.
McCammon. At the risk of rambling on and
on about it, I’ll only say this: it’s
PERFECT. If you haven’t read it, folks,
please remedy that as soon as you finish reading this interview.
What could you not live without?
My family. My wife, Glenda, and our two sons, Jamie and
Jacob. They are my everything.
K.N. Lee: Thank you for sharing with us, James!
K.N. Lee: Thank you for sharing with us, James!
