Today I talk about my new book, Love Redeems (A Redcliffe Novel) as I
partake in The Next Big Thing. Thank you to Suzie Tullett for the kind
invitation.
1. What is the
working title of your book?
Love Redeems (A Redcliffe Novel) – Book 3
2. Where did the
idea for the book come from?
It came naturally after I wrote the first book, Love Hurts (A
Redcliffe Novel) and the sequel Love Kills (A Redcliffe Novel).
3. What genre
does your work fall under?
It is paranormal romance, with a little dark fantasy and some horror
elements.
4. Which actors
would you choose to play your characters?
Hmm, so far I am struggling to decide on the right ones. For my heroine
Jessica Stone I need a British woman with a convincing Manchester accent, long
auburn hair and green eyes. For the Mason brothers I need identical twins from
Dublin with black hair and blue eyes… Any up and coming actors interested in
the roles please?
5. What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?
Emotion runs high in this fast-paced
paranormal adventure, where secrets unfold and friends are not as they seem…
6. Will your book
be self-published or represented by an agency?
It will
most likely be published in partnership with Mirador, who produced my first two
novels in the series.
7. How long did it take
you to write the first draft of you manuscript?
About four or five months I think. Once I had written the first two,
this one just couldn’t wait.
8. What other books
would you compare this story to within your genre?
It probably has elements of the Sookie Stackhouse novels by
Charlaine Harris, but I aspire to write like Laurell K Hamilton and her Anita
Blake, Vampire Hunter series, but with less horrific violence and a British
perspective.
9. Who or what inspired you to write this book?
I can’t
really remember. My first novel, Love Hurts (A Redcliffe Novel), was
cultivated in my mind for around ten years before I actually wrote it down. It
first came about when I read the Nightworld series of novels by L. J.
Smith and decided I wanted my own version of a vampire story with characters I
could more easily relate to. Love Redeems (A Redcliffe Novel) is
a natural progression from that, using experiences gained from my life during
recent years.
10. What else about your
book might pique the readers’ interest?
It is
set in Cornwall and describes the romantic rugged coastline and old smugglers’ caves.
There is a best friend with a new baby, two women running a business, and some
interesting moral issues explored.
So those are the answers for the next Catherine Green novel. Please see
