I have been asked to take part in The Next Big Thing:
Authors Tagging Authors!
I’ve been tagged by Iain Parke (www.facebook.com/iain.parke?fref=ts),
Author of Heavy Duty People (http://amzn.to/WsvfPM).
What was the working
title of your book?
Actually my latest, Second
Time Around, was just released in early November 2012. So that’s the book
I’d like to talk about, if that’s OK.
Where did the idea
come from for the book?
I started thinking about how it used to be required for
women to wear hats for all occasions and thought writing about a woman and
using a particular hat associated with important events in her life might make
an interesting story. I even did internet research and collected a variety of
hat images to inspire the plot.
But then the story morphed to be about a recently-widowed mature
business woman who is suddenly confronted with a man she believes is her first
love. Except…he was supposedly killed on his way to propose to her twenty-eight
years previously. The story is a romantic/suspense set in Dallas, Texas with
the action taking part in the 50s & 70s.
What genre does your
book fall under?
I call it a romantic/suspense but it could also fit under
the category of women’s fiction. I asked my publisher to catalog it as ‘silver
romance’ but she said there wasn’t any such genre.
Which actors would
you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?
I think Susan Sarandon would make a marvelous Dolly Summers
and her love interest could easily be filled by Harrison Ford.
To keep the chain going, I’ve tagged five authors so we can
all learn and be inspired by each other. They have to answer the questions and
pass it on.
