What is a blog hop? Basically, it’s a way for readers to
discover authors new to them. I hope
you'll find new-to-you authors whose works you enjoy. On this stop on the blog hop, you'll find a
bit of information on me and one of my books and links to four other authors
you can explore!
My gratitude to fellow author P.M. Terrell for inviting me to
participate in this event. You can click

In this blog hop, I and my fellow authors, in their
respective blogs, have answered ten questions about our book or
work-in--progress (giving you a sneak peek).
We've also included some behind-the-scenes information about how and why
we write what we write--the characters, inspirations, plotting and other
choices we make. I hope you enjoy it!
Please feel free to comment and share your thoughts and
questions. Here is my Next Big Thing!
1: What is the title of your book? Haunted by Death (Liz Baker, book 4)
2: Where did the idea
come from for the book? Well, it's a series, so book 4 had to come about at some time or another. ;)
3. What genre does
your book come under? Urban Fantasy (with a touch of naughtiness)!
4: Which actors would
you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition? Hmm... that's a tough one. Gosh, I don't know... I'll have to think on that one.
5: What is the
one-sentence synopsis of your book? Liz is screwed over once again by her paranormal heritage. ;)
6: Is your book
self-published, published by an independent publisher, or represented by an
agency? I'm an indie author all the way, baby!
7: How long did it
take you to write the first draft of your manuscript? First draft was nine months. However, during those months I was also dealing with major family issues such as my FIL's illness and subsequent passing, holidays, and birthdays. All of which slowed me down tremendously.
8: What other books
would you compare this story to within your genre? The other three Liz Baker books. LOL! :D
9: Who or what
inspired you to write this book? I don't know about inspiration. I just really felt the need to tell the next chapter in Liz's life. Maybe that means Liz was my inspiration. :D
10: What else about
your book might pique the reader’s interest? This time Liz isn't just dealing with vampires and werewolves, but also with a haunted landmark, power-filled flashbacks, a new addition to her army, and the betrayal of an ex-lover.
11: Why are you so
much better-looking in person than in your photo? LMAO! I'm not sure that's true, but it is an interesting question. Maybe it's my sparkling personality? Yeah, let's go with that one!
***NOTE: While I was planning to do this blog hop about the 5th Liz Baker book, I simply don't have about answers about it to fill out the questions. There's no working title yet, and I don't know where the characters will take me. Maybe I can talk about it at the next blog hop. :) ***
Who’s next on the NEXT BIG THING BLOG HOP?
So glad you asked!
Below you will find authors who will be joining me by blog,
next Wednesday. Do be sure to bookmark and add them to your calendars for
updates on Works in Progress and New Releases! Happy Writing and Reading!
As many of you already know, I'll be an attending author at the Book 'Em NC Writers Conference & Book Fair on Saturday in Lumberton, North Carolina. Since I live in Georgia, it'll take almost 7 hours to get there. Sooooo, I'm leaving in the morning and will arrive at my hotel around 3pm - 4pm tomorrow afternoon.
