I loved your question. It really got me thinking. I believe everything I hear and see inspires me to come up with a story but organizing my thoughts and writing a novel takes discipline and commitment. Once I start writing I imagine every scene on the big screen. My desire to see my characters come to life in the theater is probably my biggest inspiration when writing. Do you write?(less)

I really appreciate your help spreading the word about my book. Please email me a request to andreabizderiwhelan@gmail.com with your Netgalley username and I will forward it to Patchwork Press that listed 14 Days to Die on Netgalley. I will also send a personal email about your request to the publishers associate I've been in contact with.

Easy Prey by A.B. Whelan
"Absolutely loved this book, from start to finish I was hooked! Such a good story line, easy to follow characters, covered a few different topics.

Only reason I gave it a 4 and not 5 was because I’m sure there was a few writing mistakes? "

“I looked at Victor, my heart swelling from the emotion. “When I die, please do the same ceremony for me,” I whispered, choking up. “This is the most captivating and emotional event I have ever been part of.”
“I’m afraid you’ll have to ask somebody else for that because if you die before me I won’t survive it.” He kissed the tip of my nose. I gazed at him with so much love that my heart almost burst out of my chest.”
A.B.Whelan, Valley of Darkness Part 1 & Part 2

“I don’t know who those other people are and what they did to you, but I’m not one of them,” I whispered, on the verge of tears. (Molly)
“You are. You just don’t know yet.” (Victor)”
A.B.Whelan, Fields of Elysium

“Oh, God … you’re so beautiful,” I said in a weak voice, my head enchanted. He smiled at me and turned to the thin, elderly lady next to him whose skin seamed with wrinkles.“She must still have a fever,” Victor said, fighting a smile, which just made him even more breathtaking.”
