The Dark Side: Autumn Jordon

The Dark Side aims to shed light on that deep, dark, mysterious side of an author, a face that she rarely, if ever, shows to the public. What secret is she hiding behind that enigmatic smile on her official photo (if any)? what juicy tidbit is she keeping from the world? What are some of the things that she liked, things we would never know, because it's not part of her bio?

Today, we have with us AUTUMN JORDON, author of EVIL'S WITNESS (ebook, print), who regaled us in a previous post with some fun facts about her book and an exclusive excerpt. Check out our review of Evil's Witness.

Remember, think dark, dark, dark... 

Do you believe in ghosts and supernatural phenomenon? Have you ever had a close encounter? Do tell us about it. 

Sure, I believe in spirits. A few years ago, my DH and I visited Gettysburg. While standing on a spot where a sniper had died, my leg shook uncontrollably. When I stepped off the spot it stopped. I stepped back on and it started again. I had this eerry feeling. The next year we stopped by the spot again and this time I couldn’t move or breathe. It was like a huge weight sat on my chest. My DH had to pull me off the rock. I always wondered if the solider was related to me somehow.

Are you afraid of the dark? Why or why not? 

No. I lived in the country and there are a lot of noises outside after dark, but I’m familiar with them. I love going out and watching the moon and stars. Even in a blizzard is neat to watch the snow blasting at you. If I was outside my element, I might be.

Imagine that for some reason, your lights suddenly went out! What would be the first thing you’d do or say? 

This has happened, once for six days. First word, AWESOME! I loved it. The kids had to learn to entertain themselves without tech devices and since it was winter, DH and I cuddled a little closer.

What is the most romantic thing your husband/SO/date has done under the cover of darkness? 

He gave me a massage, scalp to toes. It was wonderful.

How did you overcome a particular dark time in your life? 

We all have dark times in our lives. I had to make one of the hardest decisions of my life 15 years ago, and I did it with prayer. I believe in spirits and angels. I believe there is a God and he does listen. He might not answer our prayers in the way we think he should, but he does.
