Before I get started with my answers, I would like to send a huge shout out to Quanie Mitchell over at Quanie Talks Writing for tagging me last week. Quanie’s w.i.p. The New Mrs. Collins is in its final editing phases. Be sure to stop by her blog and take a look around…And now for my 10 answers.
What is the working
title of your book? The title of my
published book is Eternal Curse: Giovanni’s Angel.
Where did the idea come from for the
book? The idea for this book came from a
reoccurring dream about a gray man who turns into an angel, but that’s not the
story I wrote.
What genre does your book fall
under? It is considered to be
fantasy, spiritual fiction, and to some speculative fiction.

Which actors would you choose to
play your characters in a movie rendition? That’s a
tough question because my main character is so odd. I think I’d have to choose
an unknown for the role of Giovanni (the hero). I think I’d pick Naomie Harris
to play Mira (love interest) and as for Abraham (the father figure), I might need two
actors if I’m going to show him as young and old, but I have no suggestions at
the moment.
What is the one-sentence synopsis of
your book? A gray man meets a woman online who
helps him discover his true purpose in the world, only to find out that he is
not of this world.
Will your book be self-published or
represented by an agency? I have self-published my
book. To learn about this, visit my Info. tab or go to this link https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/236158.
How long did it take you to write
the first draft of your manuscript? It took me
about a year to write the first draft of my manuscript and another year to work
out all the kinks.

What other books would you compare
this story to within your genre? Many people have compared
the story to an unusual take on the classic Beauty and Beast tale. I
agree with that assessment, but also consider my story to a bit prophetic in
the sense that it has a character being singled-out as “the one.” Such is the
case with stories like the Matrix (the movie) or The Wizard of Oz. In these
stories, on character becomes “the one” that will solve all the problems.
Who or What inspired you to write
this book? I was inspired to write the book because
my mind wouldn’t stop thinking about it until I did.
What else about your book might
pique the reader’s interest? This book is part of a
3-4 part series. The second draft of the sequel is complete and an outline with
three chapters of the third book is complete. The Eternal Curse Series will
travel back and forth through time following the life of Giovanni and will open
up a world of angels, demons, and half-breeds. Even the fate of the world may be
involved at some point.
These images are just place holders for the future book covers.
