Come with me to a Place in the Spotlight

I am deeply honored to be invited by my dear friend M. C. V. Egan, author of The Bridge of Deaths, for an interview on her blog, to talk about my novel, Rise to Power. These were her questions:What is your book about? What inspired you to write this particular series? Do you need visual media to describe people or places? What project(s) are you working on now?
As part of my answer for the third question I gave an excerpt from my novel, Rise to Power, as follows:



I must have lost my mind, because I leap over the brook and run quickly towards him. And I put my hand in my bag and take out one of my pebbles and sling it. It is now that time starts slowing down. With sharp, heightened senses I feel the morning breeze playing with my curls, brushing them this way and that, down to the nape of my neck. Here I am, twisting over my legs, wringing my body in a tortuous effort to gather momentum, to let a pebble fly. This, I tell myself, is no dream. This is for real. I am aiming to slay a giant. If I live, someone should sculpt me in this pose, just so.
