Hey SLC peeps

Salt Lake City friends and family. This Friday, (Nov. 30), I will be signing books at the Sandy Library from 4-6.

Come see me and get a signed book. (They make great Christmas presents) Eat treats and have a good time. This is the last chance to get a signed copy of EMERGENCE before Christmas or the end of the year unless you're going to be in Mesquite NV on December 14-15. (Then it's your second to last chance.)

SEVEN DAYS!!!!

That's simply hard to believe. I will have my book in my hands and be able to offer it to you my readers in SEVEN DAYS!

I'm so excited!

So to celebrate I'm going to post every day until the 8th and I'm going to shamelessly promote me and my book.

So first things first. I was tagged in a blog chain hop about my book and I decided to post my answers so you can get to know me and my book better.

Have fun!

The next big thing blog chain.

J. J. Bennet has chained me to this “next big blog chain”

By joining this blog chain I get to answer a few questions about my upcoming book (or WIP) and generate some excitement about the debut. So here we go with the answers.

My new book is titled: Emergence

Where did you get the idea for the book?
I was playing with the idea of “What would it take in his life to change a man from a bad boy to a good guy.” We did a lot of what ifs and turned my old draft completely upside down.

What’s the genre of the book? Futuristic suspense

Which actors would you choose to play your characters in the book?
Antony: Jason Moma
Elite: No idea, someone thin but rugged and pretty. Loves to be adventurous.
Catelyn: Tall, thin, long black hair, aristocratic.
Man in black: Wears black suits and glasses. Long black hair.
Gage: White blonde, golden eyes. Wears Hawaiian shirts.
Mathilde: Pale, blond, delicate looking.

My elevator pitch: He was the corporations prized hit man until he refused an assignment. Now he’s going to find it’s a lot easier to kill a man than to keep him alive.

Will your book be represented by an agent/publisher or self pubbed?
Emergence is being published by Walnut Springs Press.

How long did it take you to write your first draft?
About four months. The revisions and editing too just more than a year.

What other books compare to yours in your genre?
The Jason Bourne series.

Who or what inspired your book?
The main character Antony Danic.

What else about the book might pique a readers interest?
There’s lots of conflict, lots of surprises, a hologram a tattoo and some betrayal.
