Marissa chats with Britney S. Lewis about her surreal zombie romance - THE UNDEAD TRUTH OF US - as well as working with underlying metaphors in your fiction, and how your themes might change and expand as you explore the deeper meanings of your story; balancing poetic prose and surreal descriptions with authentic dialogue and characters; writing heart-wrenching scenes that have the power to make your readers cry; thoughts on that age-old advice of "write what you know"; challenges and considerations of developing a unique romance (such as, when the love interest is sometimes a zombie…); the undeniable truth that persistence in necessary when it comes to the dream of being published; and bonus: our adventures in learning the Michael Jackson Thriller dance!
