Blog Hop

Hi,

Today is Blog Hop day. You can read about my next work in progress and then check out the other writer’s websites to see what they are working on.

Thanks to K. C. Sprayberry (Kathi) for tagging me. She is author of Softly Say Goodbye. You can check her blog @ http://outofcontrolcharacters.blogspot.com

Below I have answered ten questions about my next work in progress.

 

What is your working title of your book?

 Scavenger Hunt in the Graveyard

 

Where did the idea come from for the book?

 Basically from my imagination. I thought it would nice to have a character who doesn’t really have any supernatural powers, she doesn’t even believe ghosts exist. She is a normal girl who is thrown into this supernatural world she doesn’t believe in.

 

What genre does your book fall under?

YA Parnormal

 

Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?

I’m not sure.  My main character has reddish curly hair (which she doesn't like), wears glasses, and just a typical normal girl.

 

What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?

 Agatha Shelby has an unusual name, so she is surprised when she takes a field trip to a cemetery and discovers a gravestone with her name on it. 

 

Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency?

I’m hoping Muse It Up Publishing will published it just like they did Ghostly Clues

 

How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?

 I started working on this story awhile ago, so I have a rough sketch of a first draft. I know where the story is going right now, but it usually changes the more I revise it.

 

What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?

 I’m not sure. I haven’t taken the time to compare this story to any other books right now.

 

Who or what inspired you to write this book?

Just my wild imagination inspired me to write this book and the character talking to me.

 

What else about your book might pique the reader’s interest?

What normal kid wants to see their name on a gravestone? Not many. Agatha is shocked. And it doesn’t help that her best friend who does believe in ghosts is trying to tell her that she is being haunted. Agatha doesn’t want to believe it, but weird, supernatural things keep happening.

My Book Review Of Night Sea Journey

Hi readers,

This is my review of Night Sea Journey A Tale Of The Supernatural by Paula Cappa.

I give this book a five star review. I loved it from the very beginning and all the way to the end.

Paula took me on a journey through Kip's dreams of angels and demons. Or were they Kip's dreams? Great visual descriptive writing let me see Kip's paintings and let me experience the dreams along with Raymond, a priest who just met Kip.

Toward the end of the book, Raymond asks this question to a friend. "Do you think its possible for a dream, a dream that is so powerful, so full of desire that the dream is capable of manifesting its elements into our world?"

It's a great question. If you want to know the answer, I suggest you read Night Sea Journey by Paula Cappa.

I'm fascinated with dreams and the supernatural, so this story fired my imagination.

Thanks, Paula for a great read.

Night Sea Journey is about the psychic reality of dreams and nightmares.
This is an atmospheric mystery, driven by psychological drama and paranormal
events where reality and nightmares merge. Rich characters, psychological
undertones, romance, and murder make this little supernatural thriller a
fast-paced read

Blog Tour

Hi,

If this is your first time on my blog, let me introduce myself. I'm Kay LaLone author of a great middle grade novel Ghostly Clues. You can find it at www.museituppublishing.com and www.amazon.com.

If you want to know more about me, you can visit my website at www.kaylalone.weebly.com

Join me and five other authors on a blog tour to see what we are up to. I'm sure you will find us all busy working on our next work in progress. Below I have answered ten questions about my work in progress. After the questions you will see the other authors involved in this blog tour. Visit their blogs and see what they are working on.

1: What is the working title of your book?

 

Mysterious Visions

 

2: Where did the idea come from for the book?

 

The idea came from a dream I had.

 

3: What genre does your book come under?

 

YA paranormal

 

4: Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?

 

This is always a hard question to answer. I’m not sure what actors would play these characters in Mysterious Visions. I never really thought about it.

5: What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?

 

A terrible vision of Nicole’s parents’ fatal car accident reveals her secret, and sends her on a terrifying adventure of pirate ghosts, betrayal, forgiveness, and finding true love.

6: Is your book self-published, published by an independent publisher, or represented by an agency?

 

A publisher.

7: How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?

 

Maybe a few months to write the first draft, but the revisions are taking a long time because the story has changed so much from the first draft.

8: What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?

I have read a lot of pschic books where a teen has visions, and they are all different. If I have to compare this story to other books, I would have to say The Seer series by Linda Joy Singleton.

 

9: Who or what inspired you to write this book?

 

A dream I had one night while camping inspired the story.

 

10: What else about your book might pique the reader’s interest?

 

This book is about a young girl that is trying to cope with the tragic loss of her parents. She’s doing good at keeping her secret and trying to live a normal life with her grandparents on Mystic Cavern Island. But then she has this terrible vision of her parents’ car accident that reveals her secret. Now she has to deal with people thinking she’s a freak and figuring out who caused the vision and why. This path leads her on an adventure where she is faced with seeing pirate ghosts, figuring out what is in the caves that scared her mother, and dealing with the betrayal of someone she thought she loved. Hopefully by the end of the story she will find true love with someone that shares her past or maybe she’ll chose the one who betrayed her.
