Winners and questions from the book giveaway
There were a good number of responses and questions to the giveaway via email. It was hard to pick a few questions to respond to, but I chose the top three questions to share:
1. sammay62951@yahoo.com asked:
What inspired your second book, The Mutant Star Tragedy?
Inspiration for what I'm writing comes from a place I'm not exactly familiar with. Sometimes a dream or a memory will make a story stick in my mind until I get it down on paper. Often, I will have a recurring dream and it won't stop until I begin writing a story around it. Other times, the idea is just there. This particular story came about after I woke up from a nightmare. In my nightmare, a couple had escaped from a madman's basement only to find the world outside had gone and changed on them. From that, I built The Mutant Star Tragedy.
2. cb.grove230@gmail.com asked:
Who supports and inspires you to write?
A big part of my inspiration comes from what I explained above. As for support, my family is it. My husband Sean gave me the idea to take the story of The Mutant Star Tragedy further, and without him, I would have never written parts two and three.
3. sharon_1980@comast.net asked:
What work can we expect from you next?
My current project is a science fiction novel set in a dystopian future. It features a female protagonist with the power to manipulate electric currents. Not only can she re-program any machine she wants, but she discovers that she can re-program human beings as well. Novice use of her newly acquired abilities causes the death of her husband. She is unable to admit her part in the accidental death, and begins a journey for revenge against a father she's never met (as she blames her father for passing the power on to her genetically, and for a few other things).
The first two questioners are also the two winners thanks to random selection (putting emails into a bowl and pulling them out. I know; practically scientific). Thanks to everyone who participated!
