My Next Book

I've finished writing another book, and today I'm answering questions about it.

I was tagged by A.L. Sowards, author of Espionage. Here's her website , facebook page  and twitter (@ALSowards).

So about my current project:

1: What is the working title of your book?

Emma: A Latter-day Tale

2: Where did the idea come from for the book?

I wanted to write a book about a life coach who likes to play matchmaker.

3: What genre does your book fall under?

Romantic comedy with a smidgen of inspiration

4: Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?

Whew, I hate these kinds of questions. My two male leads look Bob from The Biggest Loser and a younger version of Mel Gibson. The female lead looks kind of like the little cartoon girl from Brave only she's 23 and six feet tall. How's that for a realistic cast?

5: What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?

When Emma sets out to make the perfect match, her friend ends up with a burned behind instead of a new boyfriend; nevertheless, Emma doesn't give up, coaching her friend from one disaster to another until she makes the perfect match.

 6: Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency?

I just heard that Cedar Fort will be publishing Emma. The release date is around August 2013.

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

A little over a year.

8: What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?

Books by Elodia Strain, Rachael Anderson, and Melanie Jacobson.

9: Who or What inspired you to write this book?

Jane Austen's Emma.

10: What else about your book might pique the reader’s interest?

My book pokes fun at country music since Emma's nemesis, Jena Farley, is a rising country music star. Don't worry, country music lovers, you won't be offended. Most of all, though, it's a book about learning to overcome perfectionism and learning to love yourself.

Here is a list of authors I've tagged to join the hop for week 22 on November 21st. It's totally up to them whether they participate though. I'm a really lazy tagger. I hope you’ll visit their blogs and learn more about their books. Maybe one of them will become your new favorite author!

  1. Your next book sounds funny. I'm hoping to get to Persuasion by January. I have a stack of books in order and need to do some heavy whittling during the holidays to get my to-read pile down to a manageable size. I love that I'm not the only lazy tagger. I ended up only doing 2 on my list, because I was tired of trying to find more authors that hadn't already been tagged.
