The Next Big Thing – Blog Hop
by Virginia Wright
Week 17: The Next Big Thing
I’d like to thank Catherine Wolffe @ https://www.facebook.com/AwardWinningAuthorCatherineWolffe

for inviting me to the blog hop.
1. What is the working title of your book?
The working title of my upcoming release is The Christmas Secret.
2. Where did the idea come from for the book?
The idea for the book came from remembering how special Christmas was as a child. I wanted to create a Christmas story that was reminiscent of Christmas past, with love, traditions and lessons learned.
3. Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?
That is a tough one. I would love to take some suggestions on this one.
4. What is the one sentence synopsis of your book?
Mikey loves everything about Christmas except one thing–deciding what gift he wants…
5. Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency?
Self-published. Self-publishing was taboo just a few years ago and self-published authors were shunned by traditionally published authors. Now, many self-published authors are widely accepted in the writing community and publishing world.
With that said, self-publishing is definitely worth a try, especially putting words into digital format (e-Book), because who knows…one day a traditional publisher m
Google John Locke, or Amanda Hocking for yourselves.
6. How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?
Just a few weeks. But then it took me two years to finish it with editing, illustrating, and all the fun stuff that goes into writing a book!
7. What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?
That is a difficult question to answer.
8. Who or What inspired you to write this book?
Who inspired me to write this book is most definitely my children and grandchildren. Two of my grandchildren became characters in my book.
Thanks so much for stopping by and please check out these authors posts next week on October the 24th as we continue The Next Big Thing Blog Hop.
