The Next Big Thing
| Posted on March 11, 2013 at 2:22 PM |
I am delighted to be apart of The Next Big Thing Blog Hop originated by middle grade writer Leslie Zampettiand tagged to me via her participant and my critique partner extraordinaire, Stacey Wilke, another middle grade writer. Please take a moment to read about my exciting latest project. The Next Big Thing is a blog tour showcasing authors and their work. Each author must answer the ten questions below and then “tag” other authors they think are the next big thing!What fun! Who doesn’t love a good game of tag?! (Make sure to read all the way to the bottom so you can see who I tagged as the Next Big Thing!) What is the working title of your book? Restless Spirit Where did the idea come from for the book? I write romantic comedies about women facing real circumstances who discover themselves and the loves of their lives. This book has a ghost in it, my first “ghost story.” I’m a diehard Scorpio and I love mystical and spiritual realms. The idea came to me one day while I was polishing my Great Great Aunt Clara’s rocking chair. What genre does your book fall under? Contemporary Romance with paranormal elements What actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition? That’s a tough one. I’d want someone kind of kooky but earthy and genuine for the female lead. And, the male lead, well Ryan Gossling could fit just fine. What is the one sentence synopsis of your book? Discovering the presence of a ghost in her house, a recently orphaned young woman learns through an old letter that she has a long-lost sister and she and an unlikely comrade, a local businessman hell bent on no involvement, begin a search that reveals more than they bargain for. Will yourbook be self-published or represented by an agency? This WIP will be my fifth romance. All previous romances have been published through The Wild Rose Press and I will seek representationf or this one as well. How long did it take you to write your first draft? I’m still in the middle of this one. I have another contemporary romance, Letters and Lace, due to release soon and I’ve been juggling my time. I project, however, that the first draft od Restless Spirit will be complete mid-summer. What other books would you compare this story to within your genre? Think “Ghost” with Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore. Who or what inspired you to write this book? My critique partners. I’ve been talking about writing a ghost story for a while now and they encouraged me to go for it. What else about your book might pique the reader's interest? The title is a metaphor. We are all “restless spirits” in our own way. And, although there is an actual ghost or spirit in the story, the self-revelation of the main characters and their struggles with their own restlessness is the “meat” of the story. I think theNext Big Thing is: Middle Grade FantasyWriter, Stacey Wilke Multi-genre Writer, Kathleen Gallagher |

Right now it appears like Drupal is the top blogging platform available right now. (from what I've read) Is that what you are using on your blog?

I've been browsing online more than 3 hours as of late, but I by no means discovered any fascinating article like yours. It' pretty price sufficient for me. In my view, if all web owners and bloggers made excellent content as you probably did, the internet might be a lot more helpful than ever before.

ge. Obviously when Rolex inserts an ad in any such publication, they do not pay the price from their own pocket. The advertising costs are passed on to you. This is not the case with Swiss fake watches. Hence they are able to provide you with more or less the same stuff without the whistles and bangs at such a low cost. One should not expect to get these Swiss fake watches for pennies too. The materials and labor that goes into them do cost and that is what you pay for, apart from a slight profit margin. Beware! There are some crooks that might offer you these watches for extremely low prices.
Do not purchase them since they are utterly rubbish stuff. It is recommended that you check out the online websites that offer Swiss Fake Watches for sathe most striki
