11. What is the working title of your book?
I just
published a book yesterday, so I’m going to talk about that one. Bending the
rules a bit, sorry.
22. What genre does the book fall under?
I’m calling
it a contemporary erotic spanking novella.
33. Which actors would you choose to play your
characters for the movie rendition?
I’m always
disappointed when I love a book and then the actors in the movie version don’t
fit what I’d imagined, so I think I’ll leave the imagining to my readers.
44. What is the one-sentence synopsis of your
book?
Lonely
forty year old woman blows out a birthday candle and finds herself over the
knee of a sexy and mysterious stranger.
55. How long did it take you to write the first
draft of your manuscript?
Just over a
week. I did some writing sprints with Anastasia Vitsky that forced me to stay
in my seat and write. The book is just under 14,000 words.
66. Will your book be self-published or
represented by an agency?
Self-published.
77. What other books would you compare this story
to within your genre?
I’d compare
it to my own book, Twenty One Days to a Better Attitude because there’s a lot
of humor in it.
88. Who or what inspired you to write this book?
I had the
idea to write a short story collection about birthday spankings because I
thought the topic would lend itself to many different scenarios, but then Mimi
and Paolo got pretty hot and heavy and it turned into a stand alone story.
99. What else about your book might pique the
reader’s interest?
Mimi, the
heroine is 40 and divorced and she’s no cougar, so I think that might appeal to
readers. Plus, I love the ending. That’s all I’m saying.
10. Tag.
I'm calling out these five four writers.
Fun book, Celeste. Gotta read it. (I'm so behind in my reading right now!) I think you have great promotional opportunities because the birthday theme is so much fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cara. That's a great point about promotional opportunities. I'll have to think of some good birthday related promos.
