The Next Big Thing

My wonderful friend Linda Jackson contacted me and asked if
I’d like to take part in “THE NEXT BIG THING”.



Thank you, Linda. The Next Big Thing is designed to raise
awareness of my work, or work in progress. We do that by answering ten
questions about it. We graciously thank the person who nominated us, and tag up
to five other authors whose work could well be that Next Big Thing.


Without further ado, I give you a small taste of me and my
characters:






Q#1: What is the title of your book?
Blood and Passion





Q#2: Where did the idea for the book come from?
I wanted to write a story with a strong heroine who works in
a male dominated job but is also ultra feminine and super related/likable.




Q#3: What genre does your book fall under?
My favorite: science fiction erotica!




Q#4: Which actors would you choose to play your characters
in a movie rendition?
Oooo! Lucky me! Blood and Passion is a yummy ménage so I get
to pick two hot guys! Okay, for my men, I’ll go with Vin Diesel for my alpha
male Mikal Fabom and Tatum Channing for sweetie pie guy Rish Limaeve. The
actress who would best fit my kick ass heroine Xyla Devi is none other than the
cute little Kelly Osbourne.




Q#5: What is the one sentence synopsis for the book?
Prison guard Xyla Devi just got stabbed so she’s looking for
a little RnR not a yummy alien sandwich but when the opportunity for a fantastic
threesome presents itself, she’s ready to cuff the too-hot-to-be-legal hotties
to her headboard and throw away the key.




Q#6: Will your book be self-published or represented by an
agency?
I am writing Blood and Passion under the name Emma Abbiss to
be published by Ellroa’s Cave. I don't have the release date yet but we are in the middle of edits and the book cover is finished (don't you love it? Yay!)! I can't wait for the release. Don't worry. I'll give a shout to everyone once I know when it will drop.

Q#7: How long did it take you to write the first draft of
your manuscript?

Six weeks.




Q#8: What other books would you compare this story to, in
your genre?
Hell, I don’t know. You stumped me!




Q#9: Who or what inspired you to write this book?
This is the type of book I love to read. Science fiction. Ménage.
With a great twist at the end to make things interesting.




Q#10: What else about the book might pique the readers'
interest?
I’d say the surprise at the end will put a smile on my
readers’ faces. I’m having a hard time not revealing the surprise as I promote
the book. I want so bad to spill the beans!




I’d like to pass the torch to 3 deserving authors, and let
them tell you all about their work. Their posts will bear the same title and
will be live in a few days. When the authors confirm I will add their names and
web addresses here:
