The Next Big Thing: No Soul Is Safe..

Hi Everyone,

Stephanie Burkhart tagged me for the “Next Big Thing” and I’m here to answer a few questions:

Question: What is the title of your book?

Soul Taker.

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

A few years ago, I wrote a werewolf tale, Moon Shifter featuring the Mac Tire, and in Twilight’s Eternal Embrace, I introduced the vampire septs in Ireland and other countries. I wanted to write an Urban Fantasy with these creatures of the night, taking the readers into the mysterious aspects of Boston and Salem, and hopefully give them a few bizarre supernatural thrills along the way.

Question: What genre does your book fall under?

Urban Fantasy/Suspense/ Contemporary (There is a romance, but it plays a minor role in the story.)

Question: What actors would you choose to play in the movie rendition?

The vampire (Scottish) Garran MacLaurin: Chris Hemsworth (Thor)

Harrison Connell (werewolf): Shiloh Fernandez (Red Riding Hood)

Isabella Lucci (Necromancer) – Amanda Seyfried (Only with dark hair. She has those incredible eyes that my character has.)

Soul Taker/Alexander MacLaurin – Alex Pettyfer (He played a convincing bad guy in the movie “In Time”).

Question: What is the one sentence synopsis of your book?

A vampire, a werewolf and a Necromancer, are a most unlikely team, but Garran, Harrison and Isabella plan on putting a stop to the dubbed Soul Taker’s plans—even if it means raising the dead.

Question: Where can we get your book?

It will be available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and other online bookstores.

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

I started the story 2008 and had written 45k, but there was something missing with it and couldn’t put my finger on it. So I put it to the side. New projects were started and I forgot about the MS until last year. I opened the MS and re-read what I had written and I knew what was needed to spark the story to life. Two months later I had it finished and ready to submit. It was accepted and will be published around April or May 2013. I don’t have the exact date yet.
