Author Questions (Fun game for any authors)


1)    What is the working title of your next book? Still focusing on getting The Lynx: Grey Matter published, and writing at least 3 follow up books. We have an editor working w/ us, and one Literary Agent currently holds the manuscript. We plan to start serious work on book 2 after Christmas. (We’ve been busy with several short story projects)

2)    Where did the idea come from for the book? On Halloween 3 years ago, we were watching Night of the Living Dead. The next morning, I was kidding around w/ my husband about doing a YA zombie book. Spoiler*** The book is not about zombies, but rather bizarre changes in students at a small town HS.

3)    What genre does your book fall under? YA. We combine fantasy, action, horror, romance, and a few we probably forgot to mention.

4)    What actors would you choose to play the part of your characters in a movie rendition? Will Smith as Howard, Terry O’Quinn or Woody Harrelson as Allistor Lynx. Unknowns for the teenagers, who are the main characters oops.

5)    What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book? Students at Pleasant Valley HS are the test subjects in a sinister experiment to alter the mind.

6)   Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency? Agency. (That’s the plan!)

7)    How long did it take you to write the first draft of the manuscript? 18 months.

8)    What other books would you compare this story to within your genre? Michael Grant’s Gone Series.

9)    Who or what inspired you to write this book? JK Rowling.

10) What else about the book might pique the reader's interest? We tell the story from multiple perspectives, as well as raise questions about opening doors to the human mind that nature has left closed.
