Here is a little blog hop, fun thingy where you get to learn a little bit more about some of your favorite authors...

  1. What is the working title of your book?
    • The one I'm editing now is called SAINT SLOAN.
  2. Where did the idea for the book come from?
    • It came from thinking about how things change once you become saved and you aren't the same person any more (well, you are, and your not.)
  3. What genre does your book fall under?
    • YA/Inspirational Romance/Suspense
  4. Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?
    • Sloan-- Candice Accola
    • Ray-- Ben MacKenzie (in his O.C. days)
    • Aaron-- Brandon Barash (General Hospital)
  5. What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?
    • On the night before her eighteenth birthday, Sloan's world falls apart by an intruder she can't place, but who knows everything about her.
  6. Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency?
    • It is already signed with Astraea Press! :) As is a third book I'm working on called B.I.G. is Beautiful-- A Love Story.
  7. How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?
    • 1 month. It was a June Camp Nano
  8. Who or what inspired you to write this book?
    • My kids. I want them to have YA books that aren't just about vampire to read about when they get older (though I do love a good vampire book)
  9. What else about your book might pique your reader's interest?
    • I call it 'The O.C. meets the Vampire Diaries without the vampires." ;)
  10. What other books does your book compare to in your genre?
    • No idea. I'll have to think on it
