Excerpt

That’s when I saw my face on the TV. It was my high school picture from four years ago. My face was fuller since I had lost 25 pounds this year from spending some of my spare time on a recreational soccer team but overall, I looked the same. There was no way I could fool myself into thinking it wasn’t me on the television screen. Next to the picture were the stats that once belonged to my physical self. The conservative looking reporter with his perfectly brushed come-over and bright blue eyes said I was 5’9, 145 pounds, black curly hair, dark skin, hazel eyes. My body shuttered from crying with no tears. It was a pathetic scene (which I was glad no one could see) but I cried harder knowing there was really no relief from this terrible pain. In life, tears were a way of watching emotional pain flee from the body, but now they were stuffed deep down inside of me somewhere and bottled up with a cork. I couldn’t hear what was being said on the TV and really didn’t want to. My parents must have gone to the police and said I was missing. I disappeared just in time to make the 11 O’clock news; I’m sure my killer was at home enjoying this. Exploding in anger, I punched the outside wall that faced the street. The couple sitting side by side on the couch shivered and moved apart. They felt me! “Hello!” I screamed at the top of my lungs. They didn’t budge anymore, but for a moment they did feel me. There was no hole in the wall, but they must have heard when the punch landed. For a short time, I was a part of the normal world again.

In A Pickle By Beth Overmyer

Hello,

Today I have Beth Overmyer on my blog talking about her book In A Pickle.

1. Tell us about your book and how the story came to be.  

 

In a Pickle is about a 1920’s orphan who time-travels all the time…quite accidentally. On one of his trips back to 1910, Charlie Pickle, the orphan in question, gets tangled up in a murder.

 

The idea for the book came to me when I was cat-sitting. I’ve always liked the idea of time-travel, and I wanted to have a book about a time-traveling cat. Well, the cat got cut out of the story during draft 1.5, and the rest is history.

 

 

2.  What three words best describe your main character?

 

Charlie Pickle is curious, spunky, and brave.

 

3.  Do you have a method for creating your characters, their names and what do you think makes them believable?

 

Sometimes I use character sheets. You know, going through a long list of questions about my characters and answering them. What is their greatest fear? What is their favorite snack? Etc., etc., etc. Honestly, though, I don’t really know my characters very well until I start writing. They come to life when they’re doing things. I could interrogate a character for hours on end, and still wouldn’t get the entire picture because we aren’t always what we say we are.

 

What makes my characters believable? They’re flawed. Charlie smarts off at authority and doesn’t listen to a lot of what they have to say. But what makes him really real to me is that he changes. Not a 180 change, but there you go. Also, I get lost in my characters when writing them. “If I were a ten-year-old boy, what would I say to this?” or “What would I do about that?”

 

4. Do your characters follow your plot path or do they take on a life of their own? Do you keep them in check?

 

My characters tend to have lives of their own. And since I’m a notorious pantser, they have freedom to do all sorts of things. I keep them in check to a degree, but mostly they do what they want.

 

 

5.  Have you ever suffered from writer’s block? If so, how did you over come it?

Oh, yes. I have suffered MAJORLY from writer’s block. Some people don’t believe in writer’s block, but I think they just have another word for it. Laziness, dry well, busyness, and so forth. What I do to get out of the dreaded block is to read and watch movies. I had been in a block for a year, and what broke that was the trailer for a movie. It was hard sitting through the feature presentation, because all sorts of characters and ideas were coming to me.

So, reading and movie-watching. And I’m one of those people who can’t force writing. Some people can make themselves sit down and push out words. Not me. I clam up and freak out and the block becomes worse.

 

6.  What types of books do you like to read?

 

I love all kinds of books (except for erotica.) Mystery (Agatha Christie, the queen of the genre), fantasy (Tolkien got me interested in the genre), classics like Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice and Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre…I could go on and on. Oh, and young adult and middle grade. Lovely age groups with some very talented authors (Gary D. Schmidt, Rick Riordan, J.K. Rowling…) We’re in a good age for a wide variety of well-written and entertaining fiction.

 

Nice to meet a someone else who is a fan of Agatha Christie.

 

 

7.  What do you like to do when you aren’t writing?

 

I read. And read. Oh, and I’m a part of a small writing support group, which will be taking a sabbatical by the time this interview airs. Other than that, I’m enjoying getting to know my new niece and sometimes babysitting.

 

 

8. What’s next for your writing? Are you working on a new story?

 

I am working on a top secret project—mwahaha! Just kidding. It’s another middle grade book, this time a full-blown novel. I don’t want to go into too much deal yet—don’t want to spoil the surprise—but it may or may not involve superheroes.

Sounds interesting, Beth, you have piqued my interest.  

9.  What’s the best piece of writing advice you’ve received?

Best advice: Every writer is different, and you can’t hold yourself to their standards. In short: Don’t compare or compete. You’ll wind up miserable.

 

10.  Where can readers find you and your books?

 

They can visit my blog at: http://bethovermyer.blogspot.com

And they can purchase In a Pickle from the MuseItUp Publishing bookstore, Amazon.com, and (soon) Barnes and Noble’s site.

Fade To Silver Book Blog Tour

Today, I am reviewing Fade To Silver by Catherine Converse.  

I give this book a five star review. Fade to Silver is the second book in The In Between series and so far I have enjoyed reading this series. I love the supernatural aspect of this story. Adie and Dannika are visionaries who see murders in their dreams before they happen. It is up to the IPA, Impire Peace Agency, to stop these murders.

Catherine weaves romance, suspense, and mystery into this supernatural novel. This novel is a real page turner. I can't wait to read the next book in this series. Thanks, Catherine for a good read.

Author Bio:

Catherine Converse lives with her husband and four children in beautiful Montana. She squeaked by with a Business Degree at Carroll College, only to realize (while glancing back at transcripts years later) that the only A’s she got were in Writing and Literature classes.

She wishes there were more hours in the day (who doesn’t, right), and that her mind would just shut down sometimes.

If not writing, or researching, she would really like to be outside with her family, and preferably on her snowboard. Or just petting their horses.

Grateful for such a blessed life, she just hopes to bring stories of all kinds to life, and enjoyment to those who read them.

Catherine owns and operates Golden Dot Publishing, an independent publishing company.
