Guest blogging -- Ten Interview Questions for The Next Big Thing
I've been invited to join in a blog-a-rama by Terry Price and Cindy Corpier -- thanks so much, y'all! Here are the questions and my answers. Check out their sites for their answers! Enjoy!
What is your working title of your book (or story)? Laws of Migration, out last month.
Where did the idea come from for the book? It was an amalgamation of ideas, actually. One was relationships and how the different lens through which we each see the world has such an effect on what we think/believe/act on; another was the idea of "how the could the best thing be the worst thing/how could the worst thing be the best thing"; and the overarching idea was about birds -- watching them, they way they live, their variety and behaviors.
What genre does your book fall under? Women's fiction
Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition? Oh, this is tricky -- Elize could be played by any strong blonde who comes across as Alpha. But I think I had Kelly Lynch in mind, that extreme competence and physicality. Not to mention rocking cargo pants and no makeup. Erik/ Eric Bana? Sebastian Stan? Someone who is magnetic and you glance a second (and third) time, but not someone who is beautiful to the point of awkwardness. Frankie I see as a shorter Lucille Ball, but in a black curly wig and pencil skirt; Karen Gillan, with the addition of some weight and ink and a New Orleans accent, could be Zephyr.
