Q/A with local author Jan Walters regarding Christmas morning memories and vampires in Des Moines….

11/27/2019

According to her friends, local author Jan Walters is an independent, creative writer. She loves to laugh and bake, and the central Iowa resident — she grew up on the east side of Des Moines — is supportive and loyal. 

CV: What is the best gift Jan has received?

JAN: The year I turned 13, my Christmas wish was for a hand-held transistor radio. As I opened my gifts, there was no radio.  When I opened my last gift, I saw a doll — a bridal doll with a frilly white dress. I hate dolls!

CV: But the season wasn’t yet finished. 

JAN: The next morning, I spotted a small box under the tree. My grandmother smiled and nodded. It was my radio! It had a leather carrying case. I still remember the smell of that leather. The sound of rock music put me to sleep for many years.

CV: Thank goodness for grandmothers! What is the favorite sentence of the popular local author? 

JAN: “Because, Officer O’Shea, I believe there is a vampire in Des Moines.” 

This sentence lays the foundation for Red Sunset Drive. Just because this isn’t New Orleans, doesn’t mean Des Moines can’t have vampires roaming the streets.
