Welcome
to IAB. I'm so glad you could stop in today to chat. May I offer you
a beverage?
Witches Brew, please.
Now
that we are settled in, let's get to know you better.
BK:
Looking out the nearest window, describe the scene you see.
A
brick wall. Literally. I’m at work and there’s a breezeway
outside my window but the other side is brick wall.
BK:
Tell us about your office. Is it a mess like mine, or is everything
in its place?
My
office is partially organized and partially messy.
BK:
What is a must-have, such as coffee or a favorite pen that you need
to write?
I
need a good keyboard with keys that make a distinct clicking sound. I
also need trim nails in order to type as fast as I do.
BK:
Do you like to write in silence, or do you need music or background
noise?
I
must have silence. The only background noise that doesn’t bother me
is ambient sound and even then it must be subtle and not too loud.
BK:
Tell us a bit about your hero/heroine, and their development.
Rick
Chamberland is a quintessential bad boy, mama’s boy, narcissist,
Romeo god of seduction. He lives the fast life, loves the spoils of
his celebrity, namely the ladies.
BK:
As a writer myself, I'm always curious how other writers get through
stumble blocks. When you find a story not flowing, or a character
trying to fight you, how do you correct it?
I
abandon the character. I lock the door, stuff the key in my pocket
and wave goodbye to the character from the window. I have to move on
to someone else. I can’t be bogged down by a character that isn’t
developing.
BK:
Using the letters of your first name as an acronym, describe your
book...
Caustic,
analogous, devious, delicious, erotic, longing.
BK:
How did your writing journey begin?
I
began writing poetry. It wasn’t until I took a course in creative
non-fiction that I truly began to grasp what it was and is to write.
I was in graduate school when that happened.
BK:
Using the letters from the word, Summer, how would friends and family
describe you?
Sweet,
unique, moody, merciful, easygoing, random
BK:
What is the craziest thing you've ever written about, whether it got
published or not?
A
fanfiction about Star Wars character Xanatos de Crion. I attempted to
write him as a petulant youth growing into boyhood: rebellious,
strong, dealing with mood swings and coming to grips with the death
of his father and his hatred of the Jedi. He was my first attempt at
writing a sociopath.
BK:
Tell us one thing you've done in life that readers would be most
surprised to know.
When
I was younger I had an experience with the supernatural. This has
since been confirmed by my sister who experienced the same.
BK:
What can we expect from you in the future?
A
follow-up to Freakquency
tentatively titled Talisman.
This
or That...
Coke
or Pepsi? Pepsi
Night
Owl or Early Bird? Night Owl
Fantasy
or Mystery? Mystery
Pen/Paper
or Computer? Computer
Pizza
or Burger? Burger
Rock
or Country? Rock
Chocolate
or Vanilla? Vanilla
Thank
you so much for having us as one of your stops today. It has been
great getting to know more about you and your book, and hope you will
come back when the next release is out (*hinthint*)
Wishing
you much success!

Description:
What
southern-grown, rock star Rick Chamberland doesn’t know about his
family’s dark past comes to light when he returns home to Louisiana
at the request of his mother. Rick has spent the last fifteen years
of his life dedicated to music, touring the world, completely
oblivious to the secrets coded in his legacy.
Meanwhile,
Song Peters, a dutiful daughter taking care of a dying mother, dreams
of the day she can break free of small town life and pursue her one
true passion, singing. Rick meets Song and instantly sparks ignite.
They
make beautiful music together and soon find that they share similar
upbringings. Rick comes to learn that their families are
supernaturally intertwined and that the one denominator (a demon by
the name Nova) connected to both families threatens to destroy them
all if they do not obey.
