1. What am I
working on?
Experimental Eve,
a science fiction novel. I’m hoping to write a crossover novel at some point
during my writing career. By this I mean a book that speaks across the genres
and to a wider audience. I hope that this new book might be a possible
contender. I just finished writing, The
Cinderella Proposition and The Virgin
Lottery, both contemporary new adult.
2. How does my work
differ from others of its genre?
For Experimental Eve, I think its biggest
difference is that it’s truly an experiment! I’m bringing together an Ice Queen
heroin, an alien protagonist that could easily exist, and a catastrophe of epic
proportions that has occurred on another exoplanet outside our solar system
making Earth a target. To up the game I’m writing half from the alien’s point
of view and the other half (interspaced by chapters beginning with their names)
from the human’s point of view. It’s also very humorous due to the
misunderstanding in the two planet’s cultures and traditions.
3. Why do I
write what I do?
I cannot imagine
not writing in every possible moment. Writing is my life. Beginning a new book
is the same endorphin rush for me as falling in love.
4. How does my
writing process work?
My writing is
always either on the front of my brain, or swirling around at the back waiting
for time to write. The more you write
the more it finds you. I’ve never been one to wait for their muse to strike,
but get myself there by dedication and persistence. If you sit down to write I
guarantee something good will happen.Best,
