The Next Big Thing!
The Next Big Thing ~ Blog Hop 27 Feb THE NEXT BIG THING – BLOG HOP
What’s a blog hop? It’s a great way readers can discover new authors! Here, I tell you all about upcoming novel due to come out this August. You’ll also get links below to other authors I’d like you to check out. I’d like to thank fellow author Jennifer Garcia for inviting me to participate.

In this particular hop, I’ve answered 10 questions, giving you a few exclusives and sneak peeks … I hope you enjoy!
1. What’s the title of your book? The Journey of Champions
2. Where did the idea come from? The Journey of Champions is the second book in The Journey Collection, the first was released as a part of Harvest Treats, Book Three of the Candy Collection. The idea came from my own home town and watching the way people embrace High School football and the players like their a God.
3. What genre does your book come under? Contemporary Romance, or even a loosely based Young Adults.
4. Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition? This is always a hard one for me because I tend to see my own characters inside of my head, and not anyone famous, but for Travis, I guess I'd say Bradley Cooper and for Penelope, I see Michelle Williams.
5. What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book? Travis faces the hardest journey in his life when he has to leave Penelope and Max and return to Maimi.
6. Is your book published by an independent publisher? Yes, all of my books are available through Renaissance Romance Publishing, which I co-own with Michele Richard and Laura Braley.
7. How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?Not long at all. I wrote the first novella, around 25K, in a matter of a couple of weeks. Then when I decided to particpate in NaNoWriMo, I decided to expand on the storyline. I write roughly 56K, which consists of the next two novellas and part of the fourth, in two weeks.
8. What other books would you compare this story to within your genre? Gosh, I don't know. I'd say it's somewhere along the lines of something that Nicholas Sparks might write. The road for Travis, Penelope, and Max isn't always easy, but they manage.
9. Who or what inspired you to write this book? The storyline is based in my hometown of Clarendon. Football around here is huge, and the town really comes out to support those boys. In fact, the town really comes out to support all of our students, whether it's sports related or academics. When sitting down to write The Journey Collection, I wanted to show that spirit.
10. What else about your book might pique the reader’s interest? I like to think that people will see a bit of themselves in my characters. It's not always easy to do the right thing, and sometimes, the right thing isn't black and white.
