Bella's Next Big Thing




Joan Reeves of Slingwords Blog linked me for a fun Internet meme called The Next Big Thing. Basically authors talk about what they're working on in the future. So here's what I'm up to at the moment...

What is the working title of your next book?

Kiss Me, I'm Yours.  It's the second book after Kiss Me, I'm Irish in the Tennessee Waltz trilogy (former series title was Time For Love). The third book will be Kiss Me, I'm Home.


 
Where did the idea come from for the book?

  
I want to showcase my state a little bit so thought it would be fun to throw in a little time travel and faeries because why not? :) Book one brings a heroine from the past to the future. Book two takes the heroine to the post-Civil War era. Book three will involve lateral time-travel :)
 
What genre does your book fall under?

 Paranormal time-travel romance
Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?

Emily is definitely a Zooey Deschanel lookalike. 

 

Liam is toss up between Henry Cavill or Jake Gyllenhaal. I'll let the reader decide :) 

 

What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?

 Sophie Bowen wants revenge on her cheating boyfriend but instead finds herself in another time and place...where women where skirts and men are a whole different breed.
Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency?

 Indie published...the only way to fly! 
How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?

 Still working on it!
What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?

 All of these! http://www.goodreads.com/genres/time-travel-romance
Who or What inspired you to write this book?

 The genteel beauty of Tennessee, those that settled here--primarily the Irish-- and the sweet lament of the music.
What else about your book might pique the reader’s interest?
All three books will be linked by the Tennessee Waltz song and how it influences the characters. Listen to that tune. It's so beautiful and just sounds like Tennessee!

 Look for Kiss Me, I'm Yours in the Spring of 2013!
