The Next
Big Thing is a blog hop where authors talk about their next work in progress or
soon to be released. I was invited into the loop by author Mary Ann Bernal, you
can check out here next big thing the release of The Briton and the Dane: Concordia in Jan. 2013.
Alright, now for my next big
thing...
What is the title of your book?
For me the next big thing is the up coming re-release of the paranormal thriller Don't
Touch to Kindle and Smashwords!
About Don’t
Touch
Dr Ryan
Reign has unlocked a gift she calls a curse. Detective Jackson Prince and his
partner need her help to stop a serial killer before he kills again. One
problem Dr. Reign can't touch or be touched. Can the hard as nails cop Jackson find a way to touch her heart without touching her skin in order to stop the
bloodshed.
Where did the idea
come from for this story?
Don’t Touch was a NaNoWriMo
(National Novel Writing Month) Novel. I was reading a book at the time on the
paranormal and there was a chapter on psychic gifts. I was fascinated by
psychometry, the ability to obtain knowledge about an object, or about a person
connected with it, through contact with the object.
I thought how would that affect
someone’s life to suddenly not be able to touch everyday objects without some
kind of side effect. What if that person had no idea what was happening or how
to control it? Then I thought wow what if they were the only person who could
solve something like a murder…. And so a plot was born.
What genre does your book fall under?
Don’t
Touch is a paranormal thriller with a dash of romance. I tend to write in multiple
genres. Genres are like potato chips for me, can’t have just one :)
How long did it take to complete the first draft of this manuscript?
24 days. No kidding. NaNoWriMo
works J
Who or what inspired this book?
I’m not sure there was any set
inspiration. It was just a grouping of little ideas that rolled into a big one
to form a plot and characters. I knew I wanted to write a murder mystery for
NaNo, with some places I picked out around Lake County ,
Florida
What about this book would pique readers’ interest?
Don’t Touch isn’t your typical
thriller. Murder, a reclusive doctor,
and a gritty cop with a quick temper make an enjoyable ride through the pages.
The underlying theme is for the story is there is always light at the end of
the tunnel. We can’t give up on life when it gets tough if we can hang on we
might find that what we thought was a curse has brought us a bundle of gifts. Maybe
one of them sexy as hell and bearing a pepperoni pizza. Right Jackson ?
:o)
