The Next Big Thing - Part Three

I want to thank my friend Mitchell Allen for inviting me to do this again.  It's always fun to talk about your works in progress.  




What is the working title of your book? Hidden Monsters
Where did the idea come from for the book? It developed from a writer's prompt on Creative Copy Challenge
What genre does your book fall under? Young Adult Fantasy
Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?  I haven't pictured this series as a movie yet but I like Abigail Breslin as Jillian but with dark hair like below.



What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book? Jillian finds out her father is not from the human world but having a father who is a wolf has it's advantages especially when the government wants to dissect you and other monsters are out to kill you.
Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency? Self-publishing works for me so unless I get an obscene deal from a publishing house....
How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript? I'm still working on the first draft.  Actually, this story is developing as a series of shorts on the CCC.  I think I'll continue to develop it there until I get stumped, then I might actually develop it into a novel.
What other books would you compare this story to within your genre? Perhaps "Shiver" by Maggie Stiefvater



Who or What inspired you to write this book? My cool friends on the CCC have encouraged me to continue the series and it's so much fun I can't stopped.

What else about your book might pique the reader’s interest? The series is listed on Creative Copy Challenge from challenges #284 - #288.  Follow the challenges to see how the story progresses!
