I’m taking
part in a big blog hop for The Next Big Thing, which highlights new releases
and works in progress. I was tagged by
the fabulous Melissa Cutler, who writes hot contemporary and action/adventure. Check her out for some good reads!
10 questions:
What is
your working title of your book?
STRANGE SPIRITS, which is a collection of three paranormal holiday novellas, including
one from my Vampire Babylon world. The
book is actually out now!
Where did the idea come from for the book?
Nancy
Holder, Linda Thomas-Sundstrom, and I wanted to put together some kick-ass paranormal
anthologies, and we felt that the shorter novella format would be a good way to
dip our toes back into the old worlds we’ve created as well as new ones.
What genre does your book fall under?
Paranormal action/adventure.
Which actors would you choose to play your
characters in a movie rendition?
I’ve always
pictured Summer Glau as Dawn Madison.
Since Dawn is older now in these novellas, Summer’s still my gal.
What is the one-sentence synopsis of your novella?
A mysterious entity stalks a monster hunter on
Dawn Madison’s team, and they’re about to learn that hell hath no fury like a
woman scorned!
Will your
book be self-published or represented by an agency?
This one is
digitally self-published.
How long did it take you to write the first
draft of your manuscript?
Since this
is a shorter novella with about 30,000 words, this took under a month.
What other books would you compare this story to
within your genre?
Who or what inspired you to write this book?
After my Vampire Babylon
series ended in print form, a couple years passed. Then the digital revolution really started
happening, and since I really wanted to continue with the VB world, I jumped at
the chance to continue it in this format.
What else about your book might pique the
reader's interest?
Action,
adventure, Christmas, high emotion, love, death, spirits, cat-and-mouse
chases... There’s a lot to interest someone.
