I am to answer the next 10 questions ... so here goes:
What is the working title of your book?
THREE SPIRIT KNIGHT
Where did the idea come from for the book?
I thought it might be fun if a protagonist found out all his saving the day had ended the world. How could someone undo that? If your mother is the Angel of Death, you have a shot at it.
What genre does your book fall under?
The easy answer would be YA Urban Fantasy. But it involves Norns, Off-Reality Betting, the Sidhe, the realm of Never-Was, the loathsome She Who Breeds, and the Twilight of the Gods ... in New Orleans of all places. So Epic Fantasy fits as well.
Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?
A teenage Robert Downey, Jr. for Victor Standish.
Elle Fanning for Alice Wentworth.
Cate Blanchett for the Angel of Death.
And Gerard Butler for Samuel McCord.
What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?
Wanting a respite from the demands of her existence, the Angel of Death sacrifices her son, and he struggles to save those he loves without losing her heart.
Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency?
Self-published unless Harper Collins Voyager decides to pick up the adventures of Victor Standish.
How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?
Still writing it. (I write the first draft and polish it as I go along.)
What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?
SUPER 8 meets TRUE BLOOD meets CLOUD ATLAS.
Who or what inspired you to write this book?
My harrowing days on the streets of New Orleans during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
What else about your book might pique the reader’s interest?
There are naked pictures of Olivia Wilde in it.
(Just checking to see if you were still with me.)
The question:
If you knew going back in time and undoing yourself would save those you love though they would not remember you, would you do it?
I do not tag since so many dislike it, so if any of you would like to answer these questions, please consider yourselves invited to do so.

Presently, the lovely Quincy Coleman is perfoming at Meilori's. Come sit with me at McCord's table and listen to her evocative song, CALLING YOUR NAME.
{Is that Victor Standish behind those sunglasses?}
