Summer is fun...

It’s been a fun and getting loads done few weeks. My nephew came early to start getting ready for college in the fall. He’s been here a few weeks and I’ve been having fun hanging with him and helping him prepare for college in the fall. :)

This weekend I had to unexpectedly change plans to leave earlier than I thought to go to his orientation for college. So I’ve been away from home since Saturday and to today. We’ve been taking in the sights of his college and the city it is in. Beautiful place and my nephew is happy with his choice and looking forward to it. Orientation has been fun and I’ve meet loads of parents who are in the same boat as we are. First time college student with all those things to do to get them ready for it. Whew it’s fun, exhilarating and crazy all at once. But we’ve got it managed and having fun with it. My big sister couldn’t make it for the orientation (she wanted to be here to drop him off to school and couldn’t make that and orientation) so I went for her to get all the information. She’s coming soon so she can be here when he starts college. We’ll have a few weeks of our usual summer fun mixed with buying and getting him set up for college. Then in September my big sis, brother-in-law (shhh my nephew doesn’t know he is coming, :) it’s a surprise) and I will drop him so he can start college. :)

My nephew will be living with me on his off times (holiday and so on) from school. :)

Loving summer already.

Interview with Cornelia Amiri

How do you get an idea for your novel?

I get a lot of ideas from history. I love history. However, the idea for As Timeless As Stone came from a day dream. I saw a headless statue and when the missing head was set on it the stone figure came to life. I thought now there’s the beginning of a story and my Steampunk/Romance As Timeless As Stone was born. I decided to set that part of the story in Egypt due to a conversation I had with my muse prior to the day dream. You, ll see more about that in a question below.

 

What is your writing style?  Do you just sit down and write or do you create?

I’m a panster rather than a plotter. I just sit down and write and then I craft the story in rewrites.

 

Who is the "Writing Muse" in your life? I.E. who gets your juices flowing?

Honestly ideas come from everywhere so it’s hard to say. I guess my writing muse is me. But I like to think of my muse as Clio. You know Zeus's daughter. She is the muse of history, pictured with a scroll and books. She moves me to write, but there's one drawback. Clio gets carried away. Regarding my new release for example, one day, I was taking a well-deserved TV break watching a show on ancient Egyptian mummies. They mention two different Scorpion Kings. Real pharos with the same name as “The Rock’s” character in “Return of the Mummy.” Clio says, “Quick to the Internet, rush to the library, run to the bookstore - start researching.”

You have to be firm with Clio. I said, “I’m not going to research ancient Egypt. No way.” And as you can see by my book, As Timeless As Stone, Clio won again. She always does.

 

How many novels have you written including all work in progresses you are currently working on? If I include the novellas published as independent eBooks as well as my novels it’s 25.

Who is your "writing idol"? I.E. Who do you like and what is it about there writing that captures your soul? Morgan Llewellyn because she does such a fabulous job of bringing Celtic history and mythology alive. She would have made a great bronze age or iron age druid, that’s the highest compliment I could give to anyone.

 

What is you favorite plot line type? I would say it’s a toss between myth and legend or warrior women. 

Is there any advice you can offer to anyone who would like to write? Put aside your inner editor and finish the first draft, learn the craft of writing, revise – revise – revise – revise, revise – revise , find some good critique partners, follow your intuition, make writing friends – the greatest asset you’ll ever have, make writing a priority and never stop writing no matter what.

 

What is a good villain?

A good villain is someone that’s as smart or smarter than the good guys. A good villain is hard to defeat and gets very close to beating the good guys. A good villain is someone you love to hate but at the same time there are moments when wish you could be like them.



 

Here is an excerpt of As Timeless As Stone:

 

Ricard picked up a claw hammer and pulled out the nails of the largest crate. Once he had worked the lid loose, he threw the hammer down and slid the wooden top off.

“Mon dieu, what is this?” He carefully lifted a severed stone head, gazing into the dark, almond eyes of a beautiful woman. He gasped. “It looks real.” A shiver surged through him at the eerie feeling that he held a human head in his hands. “This workmanship.” No less than a great artist had crafted this, and a modern one, for the paint had not faded or peeled. The exquisite work was the best he’d ever seen. Her hair did not seem like carved rock as much as it did an ebony crimped wig. The band across her forehead shone like real gold. Rather than red and black paint, the thin black lines rimming her eyes appeared to be kohl and the blush of her cheeks was like the ochre used by women of ancient Egypt. Her bowed lips had been reddened, as if smudged with actual henna.

Ricard placed the head back in the crate. Then he helped Jean Francois pull out the heavy stone woman and stood her up on the floor. They both gaped in wonder.

“Certainement. It is a fake.” Jean François ran his fingers across the neckline of the body of the ancient yet untarnished statue. “A clean break.”

Ricard picked the stone head up again. “Oui. Clearly the head broke off of this body.”

“Oui, Ricard.” Jean François nodded at his assistant, then glanced back at the stone body. “Look at this dust.” He grabbed a wad of straw from the crate and used it to wipe the headless statue clean. “What do you think of our ancient Egyptian, Ricard?”

“For a relic dug out of the sand of Egypt, she looks fresh. Other than her severed head, there is not a flaw or mark on her.”

“Oui, the paint is as bright is if she were just made.”

“Jean François, it does not look like paint, but flesh. Her breast can be seen under the garment as if real.” The young man gaped at the beautifully formed plump stone mounds and erect, peach-toned nipples straining against the sculptured linen draped over her voluptuous body.

“Mon dieu, she is stone, Ricard.” Jean François’s admiration locked on her breasts as well. “Yet, so beautiful.”

“Let us look at her whole for but a moment.” Ricard took a deep breath, then set the statue’s severed head onto its neck, positioning it until if fit like two pieces of a puzzle.

Ricard stepped back as his gaze devoured the entire woman, though stiff and lifeless. The stone looked like lush, sun-warmed skin. Her oval face was dark and delicate, with full, rosy lips. He admired her long, lithe body, clad in a sheer, white, sleeveless dress, held up only by two delicate linen shoulder straps. He longed to roam his fingers and lips over her high perched breast and the thin waist that flared into curved hips and lithe thighs. Then, down to her pretty legs and her slender feet garbed in white papyrus sandals, of the station she depicted, an Egyptian priestess of the Middle Kingdom. He drank in her beauty, then he noticed the ornament lying in the valley between her breasts, a thick ankh of gold hung from a chain.

His fingers absently tried to grab hold of the necklace but it was only part of the statue, no matter how real it seemed. “What is this?” He looked at the plaque in the statue’s stone hands, held beneath the ankh. The last hieroglyphic depicted the symbol for life, an ankh, held up to the woman’s nose.

Ricard read it silently, sounding it out, Nce xarp wt pwwne Ab etoot abrem... Toujo Abrem etoot pwwne ab... xarp wt au ai ankh qe, and translated it under his breath. “God Horus, as you turned my flesh to stone...God Horus, save me, make me whole...change my stone to flesh...give me the nose breath of life,

The room vibrated and an unnatural wind swirled within. Ricard’s hair stood on end, but he could not tear his eyes away from the statue. He grabbed the ankh, and this time it gave way, lifting from the statue’s chest. The curiosity that drove him as a scientist, as an Egyptologist, caught hold and as strange as this all seemed, he felt he had come this far, he had to see it through. Laying the ankh against the statue’s small nose, Ricard acted out the last hieroglyphic on the plaque.

He shuddered at the sound of a gush of breath. A flash of light struck inside the room. The shock knocked the breath out of him. The stone statue moved, but she wasn’t stone anymore. Jean François gasped and stepped back. Ricard couldn’t move.

It’s a living, breathing woman.

He dropped the ankh and it fell against her chest, which now rose and fell with heaving breaths. Ricard managed to step back on shaky legs. He gaped at her, unable to think or speak.

Alive.

The priestess shrieked. Her brown eyes glowed with anger. “Come near me, you Hyksos cobra, and you will die!” she warned in Old Egyptian.

“Hyksos?” Ricard shook his head. “I must be dreaming.”

A tall, alluring lady with smooth, golden skin and shiny ebony hair falling to her narrow waist stood where the statue had been.

“What is happening?” Jean François’s gaze wandered back and forth, from the woman transformed from stone to the empty crate.

Ricard blinked, but it didn’t change what he saw. The woman was anything but stone, an earthy flesh-and-blood seductress, though the defined bone structure of her oval face appeared chiseled by the finest artist. He looked away from her revealing garments. To gape at stone was one thing, but to stare at a stranger’s body was unheard of. Unthinkable. He had been raised better.

 

Blurb:

Little does Ricard know when he sets the broken head of an ancient Egyptian statue onto its body, the stone figure will transform before his eyes into the most beautiful flesh and blood woman he’s ever seen.

Seshat, an ancient Egyptian Priestess is newly awaken in 19th century Paris, after centuries as a stone statue. Though enchanted by the wondrous inventions of steam-servants and a steam-carriage, she is enthralled by the inventor, Ricard. He ignites her sensual desires and in a steamy night of carnal magic, Seshat transforms Ricard’s life forever. But how far will he go to secure her happiness? Is Ricard’s love for Seshat powerful enough to transcend time?

An unexpected encounter leads to a lasting passion…

Lila Jarvis wasn’t prepared to be involved in a rescue after a long day at work. The man she saves is even more surprising and she has no idea what she is in for. From the moment they meet until she goes looking for him to check on him, she is thrown for a loop on what to do with Driscoll. She knows he is a famous singer, yet it’s the man who is tender, open and downright weird—he calls it eccentric—who has her coming back for more. He is like nothing she has experienced before. Lila has no idea where things are going, but she is willing to hold on for the ride with the man who pushes all her buttons.

No woman has made him feel like Lila does—on edge one moment then at ease the next. The sassy woman is a challenge he is looking forward to getting to know better. As he does he finds himself in circumstances he’s never been in before. She is in his blood and he doesn’t plan to let her go.

Teasers - Driscollism

Today's Teasers is a little different. I'm gonna use something that I call a 'Driscollism'. This comes from the hero in my book Unexpected Encounter (Singleton, #4) which releases on this Friday, July 18. In the book my hero says some...lets just say his views on things are interesting. Here is one of the things he said.

Driscollism

When someone tells me I’m going to fail, it makes me even more determined to succeed then flip them off when I do. - said by Driscoll Jacobs from Unexpected Encounter by Taige Crenshaw

I love this Discosllism because one of the things I believe is when something is tough or hard I won’t let it defeat me. I dig in and work harder to get it done.

To read more about Driscoll and his journey to romance Buy Unexpected Encounter here.

Interview with Author Daisy Banks

 

How do you get an idea for your novel?

For this novel, the process was a little odd. I wrote the beginning of a story and after about four chapters, I looked at it and realized I needed to write what had happened before the events in the chapters I’d written for things to make sense. The story led me back to the events in A Perfect Match.

This tale is a step beyond my normal romance genres. It is a cross genre kind of mix, futuristic, with a splash of sci-fi, and some politics. Events push the characters on a journey of self-discovery and an exploration of their partnership. I like to think this book remains a love story throughout.

 

What is your writing style?  Do you just sit down and write or do you create character sketches, outlines, or notes?

Most of my stories begin from pictures in my head. I see a scene happening, a bit like being at the cinema with the sound turned down. I don’t usually hear the words but the images are very clear. Usually they make me wonder how the individuals I see got into the situation I see them in, arguing or involved in some activity. Once I’ve seen the images, that’s when I can sit down and write.

A Perfect Match was a little different as I saw what comes next before I found the characters in the story. Once I could see the two lead characters, the story developed.

I rarely make notes, occasionally I will if something is very detailed or complicated. Usually I write until I am too tired to stop or the words won’t flow any more.

Next day, I will read what I’ve written and carry on from the point where I stopped before, though I don’t edit for things until well after that stage. Editing takes place once I’ve got to the end unless something is very troublesome and I might decide I’ve taken the wrong path with the story and rewrite from a previous point. I like to allow the characters to lead me. In the past, I’ve found when I go badly wrong, or the story dries up, it’s because I have tried to push the characters to a place they don’t want to be. Sometimes they will even tell me to watch what I’m setting up for them.

 

 

Who is the "Writing Muse" in your life? I.E. who gets your juices flowing when you are blocked?

If I am stuck on something or am in need of a bit of inspiration, I take a walk down by the river Severn that usually helps. I often listen to classical music when I am working. There isn’t a person who motivates me to write.

 

 

How many novels have you written including all work in progresses you are currently working on?

I have written nine or ten novels, two were learning pieces and remain something I may or may not look at again in the future. There are another two stories I might work on further to get them ready to submit to a publisher, or not.

I have six currently published works, three novels and three novellas. My latest book A Perfect Match, released with Taliesin Publishing is my first ninety thousand-word work. I have two new contracted novels with Lyrical Press one of which will be released later this year and the other next year. I am in the process of writing a historical romance with a big chunk of adventure. There is also a sensual piece I will be submitting to a publisher late this summer and a free read I am contributing to a collection.

 

Who is your "writing idol"? I.E. Who do you like and what is it about there writing that captures your soul?

I am a huge fan of Tolkien, all of it, everything, The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, Silmarillion, Farmer Giles of Ham, Gawain and the Green Knight, and the adventures of Tom Bombadil. I love them all. I delight in losing myself to another world.

I enjoy many different types of stories from classical legends to murder mysteries. I a big fan of the fantasy genre and I enjoy all kinds of romance. Poetry remains an interest of mine and I find the work of Keats speaks to my soul. I think I have always been a romantic at heart.

 

What is you favorite plot line type?

Good overcomes evil. The brave of heart, spirit and mind, gain the rewards they deserve. True love wins out despite the odds. I enjoy all these in the many different ways they are treated by lots of different authors.

 

 

Is there any advice you can offer to anyone who would like to write?

Do it. Beware of your motivation. If you want to write primarily for financial gain, unless you are very lucky, you might be disappointed. Don’t give up your day job until you are truly financially secure.

Use critique partners and groups to help you polish your work, learn how the publishing industry works, and be prepared to deal with rejection.

In my humble opinion, the best way to become a writer is to write.

What is a good villain?

Ah, how I have struggled with this. I have had critique partners almost in tears, either laughing or crying at my attempts at a villain. Finally, when I did what a dear friend once told me to, ‘let it go, write it and let the chips fall where they may’, I got a villain down on the page. I loathe him, he disgusts me, he is unutterably vile, and there are times I am so sorry for him I could cry.

That’s the kind of villain I think people like to read, someone who has their reasons for behaving as they do. A villain must have a personality to be credible.

 

Thanks so much for the interview questions. I enjoyed them.

 



 

An Excerpt From: A Perfect Match by Daisy Banks

Published by Taliesin Publishing.

“Outrageous! It’s not possible. I’m sworn to the gods. He can’t do it.” Anwell babbled to her personal slave. “Raisa, are you certain? Is it a genuine warning?”

“Yes, I fear so, mistress. Before you retire tonight, you will receive a direct command from His Eminence, Lord Chardel. Not even the Mother of the Temple can gainsay such a decree.”

Anwell’s stomach churned. She shook her head until her long earrings rattled. This isn’t true. Her knees wilted and forced her to sit on the edge of her narrow bed. “I can’t think any of the Carnag would allow him to make such an edict.” She laced her fingers together as if in prayer. “Was there no one in the assembly who’d dispute on my behalf?”

Raisa’s eyes gleamed in the low light. The old Netherling sat beside her, clasped her hands, and squeezed hard. “You were not mentioned by name there. It would have made little difference if you had been. All of them are fearful they may lose their place. Lord Chardel becomes more erratic by the day. I’m afraid many will go along with any of his wishes, rather than risk his displeasure. You have no choice, my lady. You cannot refuse the explicit command of the leader of the Carnag. To do so might endanger your life. Your family may suffer, if they attempt to gainsay His Eminence.” Raisa’s dark gaze held hers. “You must obey.”

“But I’ve never even met Commander Varon. Everyone knows arranged marriages were prohibited years ago. They make a mockery of all the Temple encourages.”

“Mistress, it makes no difference.” Raisa spoke quick, so soft and low Anwell strained to hear. “His Eminence believes his views challenged by Commander Varon. There is a history to their relationship. Lord Chardel doesn’t trust the commander, and to defend his rule, he has gifted the hero of the Carnag a youthful, noble wife. You are the commander’s reward for the latest water discovery, and…” Raisa glanced toward the closed door. “You are meant to give the commander the early opportunity to breed with a true-blood Astan female.”

“Breed?” Her heart rhythm raced.

“Yes. You’ll no longer be a member of the Temple or under the charge of its rules of chastity.” Raisa leaned closer, her voice lower still. “I have heard whispers that in private, Lord Chardel is outraged Commander Varon boasts of breeding with his Netherling companion, and worse: the commander has openly encouraged other young members of the Carnag to do the same with theirs. So, to stem what might become a tide of rebellion, as well as counteract the thought of interbreeding, His Eminence is determined to prove Astan females are quite capable of successfully producing healthy offspring.”

“But you know it’s not true,” she said. “Despite all our prayers in the Temple, birthrates have declined to near naught in the last twenty years. Many Astan wives have tried and failed. Some have died in the process.”

Raisa nodded. “But remember, they are all far older than you. Any female who devotes the first twenty-five years of her adulthood to the Temple is bound to be less fertile than one who is in the flush of youth. I say it is only common sense, despite Astan ideals. Commander Varon has openly encouraged all the younger males in the Carnag to experiment with impregnating their pleasure slaves. He says many of the young Netherlings are intelligent therefore they are perfect breeding stock, as they are ready to reproduce early.”

Her icy fingers locked together and shook, along with the rest of her. “What if I don’t breed?”

“We’d better see you do.”

Desperate for divine intervention, she clutched the Temple amulet against her breast. “But I don’t want a child yet, not until my service to the Temple is fulfilled. My life is given to the gods! It is the law.”
