Week 18: THE NEXT BIG THING BLOG HOP
From Twilight to 50 Shades of Grey, the past few years have
been full of high profile reads. Love um or hate um, you have to admit you have
at least heard of them.
As Independent Authors we all dare to dream we will be next,
and well let’s face it you never know ... right?
With that thought I jumped on this Hop, what is a blog hop?
Well I didn’t know until I asked.
Basically, it’s an Independent Authors game of tag.
One Author posts, and then tags five other Authors, who each
link back to them. Exponentially it is a marketing gold mine, and you my fair
reader have hopefully just increased your to read list. Finding New and
Exciting Authors you may never have found otherwise. Some of us are still
writing, others are just being released. Either way, for you Fiction Lovers, a
treasure trove awaits and I’d like to thank fellow S.I. Hayes for tagging me to participate.

Blog: A Writer’s Mind, More or
Less
In this particular hop I and my fellow Authors each in their
perspective Blogs have answered 10 questions where you get to learn about our
current WIP (Works in Progress) as well as some goodies as to our process, from
characters and inspirations to photographic/ Cinematic eye candy! I hope you
enjoy it!!
If this or any other items pique your interest, please feel
free to comment and share your thoughts and questions.
HERE ARE THE QUESTIONS
1: What is the working title of your book? Sunny Side-Up
3: What genre does your book fall under? Cozy Mystery,
however, you'll find that my mysteries take on a more suspenseful feel. No cozy
towns here, but loads of mishaps and bungles.
4: Which actors would you choose to play your characters in
a movie rendition? I would choose the main character, Susan. I like to be in
the middle of things, whether it's a movie or a book. I like to figure things
out before everyone else. I'm one of those 'talkers' when it comes to watching
movies. "I think I know who the killer is," "I know why she said
that," etc.
5: What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book? Is the
grass always greener on the other side of the fence?
6: Will your book be self-published or represented by an
agency? Self-published through my business, Idea
Creations Press and CreateSpace,
a subsidiary of Amazon.
7: How long did it take you to write the first draft of your
manuscript? About four months. During the next few I'm going to have some
readers and writers give me feedback and do plenty of re-writes. You should see
Sunny Side-Up by the middle of next year--2013.
8: What other books would you compare this story to within
your genre? If you've ever seen "Murder She Wrote," you'll get a bit
of an idea. Since my book doesn't fall smack-dab into the cozy mystery genre,
the book is a bit harder to peg. Just expect an amateur sleuth, eggs to die
for, and plenty of twists and turns.
9: Who or What inspired you to write this book? I realized
that the first book Scrambled, didn't
finish everything in the life of Susan Cramer. There was more of her to
discover. In the third book, Hard Boiled,
Susan returns home from her cruise only to discover some disturbing news. I
have only ideas at this point, but be prepared for some scary fun!
10: What else about your book might pique the reader’s
interest? A middle-aged woman who wants a better life. And what woman doesn't
want that?
