Doug Dillon Interviews
fifteen-year-old Jeff Golden
(Location: The Athena Restaurant,
St. Augustine, Florida)
Doug: Jeff Golden! Good to see
you. Have a seat. Want anything to eat?
Jeff: Nah, nothing for me thanks.
I’ve only got a few minutes. Gotta meet Carla over at the research library. So what’s up,
author man?
Doug: Oh, I just wanted to get
your views on the paranormal now that you’ve had a lot of experience with it. I’m starting
to write Book III of The St. Augustine Trilogy and . . .
Jeff: Oh no! Come on, Doug. To be
honest, I’ve had way to much experience with that stuff. You really piled it on me and
Carla in Books I and II. I really don’t want to talk about it right
Doug: Mmm, OK, I understand but I
don’t want to misrepresent your outlook.
Jeff: Just as I figured. You’re
going to add tons more paranormal crap in your next book and put Carla and me in even more danger.
Doug: Uh, well, that’s kind of
the idea in fiction.
Jeff: Yeah, great. Easy for you
to write it that way but hell on us. Did you ever think about that?
Doug: But you’ve both learned so
much from Lobo and your paranormal powers keep
increasing. Doesn’t that make you
feel less afraid and stressed out no matter what happens?
Jeff: You just don’t understand.
To you, the scary fictional situations you create in these novels
are reality to us. We actually
live it. Did you ever think about that?
Doug: Sounds like you resent me
even creating these novels at all.
Jeff: It isn’t that. You’ve given
us life but then you ignore that we truly have our own reality.
Doug: I never thought about it
that way.
Jeff: OK, so think about it now,
please. I’m sitting here talking to you, right? I’m not just a
made-up piece of your imagination
any more.
Doug: So does Carla feel the same
way?
Jeff: Yes and no. She doesn’t
like it any better than I do but she says you’re just doing your job.
Doug: I see. So then, Jeff, what
would you have me do differently in the last book of the trilogy?
Jeff: I don’t know, really. I
guess I would just ask you to remember that you truly do create the
reality that we, your characters,
have to endure. We can feel it when you don’t.
Doug: Really? And how should I do
that?
Jeff: It’s what’s in your mind
that counts. You don’t actually think of us as real. What you don’t
get is that by creating us we
truly exist in a parallel universe. Otherwise, I couldn’t be sitting here
Doug: Uh, you’ve got me there.
Jeff: Good. Maybe that
understanding will shake you up enough to treat us as equals instead of
some kind of subhuman beings.
Doug: Ouch! Guess I deserved
that.
Jeff: Just work with us, Doug,
that’s all we ask. Sorry I didn’t answer your question. Let’s set up
another interview and we’ll try
again.
Doug: Will do. You’ve given me a
lot to think about. Thanks.
Jeff: Cool. Gotta go. Carla’s
waiting.
Stepping off a cliff by Doug Dillon
An otherworldly, evil and
dangerous force infests America’s oldest and most haunted city, St. Augustine, Florida. Everyone living
there, or visiting, is at risk in ways too horrible to imagine.
Standing between this invader and
the people of St. Augustine are teenagers Jeff and Carla, the mysterious Native American
shaman, Lobo, and Lyle, the homeless guy.
In their quest to save themselves
and all the inhabitants of this ancient, Florida city, Jeff and Carla uncover lost parts of St.
Augustine history, push past the limits of space and time, and
encounter what they come to realize
are the true walking dead.
