The Next Big Thing Blog Hop
I was asked by
my good friend, Ema Volf, to take part in this blog hop. Thank you Ema for always being so supportive!
You inspire me every day!! Make sure ya’ll check out her post at http://emavolf.blogspot.com/
What is the
working title of your book?
As of right now, it is Knotted Roots. Of course, that may
change, but *fingers crossed* that it doesn’t.
Where did the
idea for the book come from?
It came to me in
a dream...No, I’m kidding. One of my
favorite classes in school was Psychology.
I don’t want to major in it or anything, but I love to dig around in
people’s brains. What makes them tick?
What are their greatest desires? Fears? That’s what I explore within all of the
characters in my book.
I didn’t want to
have all of these things happen to my characters and not explore how it
affected them. I’m a big supporter of
digging deep. I want the characters to
touch people on a personal and deep level.
What genre does
your book fall under?
It’s YA. This is actually quite hard for me, lol. I have to be careful what is said and how it
is said. But, it’s working so far!
Couldn’t ask for more.
Which actors
would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?
For the main
female character, Roxie, I picture someone like Debby Ryan. That girl next door look, but very classy as
well. As for the male lead, Chase, he
was actually modeled after Chace Crawford, lol. His eyes...oh man...*wipes
drool* Sorry, had to control myself. So
yea, Debby Ryan and Chace Crawford. For
the win!
Oh, and just for fun...here are their pics, lol.
What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?
Roxie is shipped
to her Grandma’s farm in rural SC in hopes of saving her from her parent’s
divorce, but instead she is saved herself, learning the true meaning of love,
life, and home.
Will your book
be self-published or represented by an agency?
I’m going
self-published. I had originally wanted
to publish within an independent publishing group, but I couldn’t find one that
really fit for what I am writing about.
Maybe I should add a few vampires in there, huh? LOL Then it could be
paranormal!
How long did it
take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?
So far, there is
half a draft. I started working on it on
January 4th, I believe, and it’s already half done. I’m hoping that at this pace it will be done,
edited, more editing, and even more editing, by the end of this month. Once
again, *fingers crossed*.
What other books
would you compare this story to within your genre?
I honestly can’t
answer that question. Most of what I
normally read is paranormal and horror, so I tend to stay away from YA. That sounds bad, doesn’t it? They say to
write what you know...definitely going to need that vampire now....
Who or What
inspired you to write this book?
I’ve been
writing so much for school, and always talking about “one day” writing a
book. Well, my New Year’s Resolution
this year was to finally shut up and put up.
I want to make my dreams come true for once. I live my life doing for those I care about,
and taking care of everything else...I just let my own writing fall by the
side.
Oh, and after
meeting so many amazing people online since August...I had to put them in my
book. There are little bits of quite a
few people sprinkled in there. Some
carry real names. Others don’t. My friends are my biggest inspiration.
What else about
your book might pique the reader’s interest?
There’s a love
story there. Does that help? LOL Everyone loves a good love story. But, I have to say, it’s not the main focus
of the book. It plays a big part in it,
but there’s just so much more to it. I
hope people are able to connect with my characters and feel as strongly about
them as I do.
Now, I was supposed to find FIVE authors to join as well..but I only found three. *hands head in shame* So, make sure you check them out on January 16th when they do their posts!
