Welcome
to this blog hop.

What is a
blog hop? Basically, it’s a way that readers can discover new authors, because
with bookstores closing and publishers not promoting new authors as much, we
need to find a way to introduce readers to authors they may not see in their
local bookstore.

Here you
have the chance to find new authors. Here you’ll find information about me,
what I’m working on now.  Also see
links below to other authors you might like to check out.

I’d like
to thank fellow author Rita Herron for tagging me to participate. Click the

to Tell

In this
particular hop, I and my fellow authors, in their respective
blogs, have answered 10 questions where you get to learn
about our current work in progress as well as some insights into our
process, from characters and inspirations to plotting and cover
decisions. I hope you enjoy it!

Please
feel free to comment and share your thoughts and questions. Here is
my Next Big Thing!

1: What is the working title of
your book.

The
working title of my book is Vegas Rift
 

2: Where did the idea come from
for the book?

Numerous
times, my promoter has suggested that short stories are selling like proverbial
hotcakes. She warned our group to start producing more to meet the demand.
Bridge stories were one example of writing a short. Not sure what she meant, I
questioned her and found out that it was a brief record of what is happening in
the lives of your characters between two full-length novels. Since at the time,
I was actually writing my third book in the Vegas Series “High Stakes Gamble”
and I wanted to start the events eleven months after the last book, this bridge
story seemed to be the perfect answer.

3: What genre does your book come
under?

The genre
is Romantic Suspense

4: Which actors would you choose
to play your characters in a movie rendition?

A young
Bruce Willis and Jennifer Lawrence

5: What is the one-sentence
synopsis of your book?

Aurora
survives her time separated from the man she loves, the father of her expectant
baby.

6: Is your book self-published,
published by an independent publisher, or represented by an agency?

The Vegas
Series is self-published (but not self-edited). There are two editors working
with me on these creations.

7: How long did it take you to
write the first draft of your manuscript?

I’m still
working the first draft and more than halfway through. So far I’ve written 5
days at approximately 3-4 hours each day. 
The story will be finished in less than 4 days.

8: What other books would you
compare this story to within your genre?

I would
say my style of writing is like a Castle TV show – maybe a little grittier,
language wise but with the same type of humor.

9: Who or what inspired you to
write this book?

I love
reading Romantic Suspense and watching these types of TV shows also. On my last
trip to Vegas, I knew where I wanted my setting to be and so the rest fell in
naturally.

10: What else about your book
might pique the reader’s interest?

If you’ve
read Books #1 and #2 of the Vegas series, this story will whet your appetite
for the next full-length addition to the series coming in March called High
Stakes Gamble.

As a
standalone story, readers might not get the full impact from Vegas Rift. And since
I’ve kept the prices as low as possible on all the books (99 cents), I know
they’re getting a deal if they buy them in order and enjoy the series as it
unwinds.

Below you
will find authors who will be joining me by blog, next Wednesday. Do be sure
to bookmark and add them to your calendars for updates on WIPs and New Releases!
Happy Writing and Reading!
