Interview Requests

I hope you all enjoyed my interview with Cyrus Keith and if you're an author looking to also be interviewed just hit me up with an e-mail at Brandon-514@hotmail.com.

I'm also announcing a new book of poetry I am also working on. It's title is still in the works and so is the book itself, but I thought I would take this opportunity to formally announce that my second book of poetry is in the works. I'm still hard at work on FrostBite's sequel, Echoes of the Sentinel, while my book FrostBite is being ironed out by me and my editor.

Interview: Cyrus Keith

Hey readers! Today I have an interview from Cyrus Keith, author of soon to be released "Becoming NADIA" and it's still in the works sequels. Read on for more on the book and what Cyrus Keith will be writing down the line.

What’s the name of your book and why did you decide to write it?
An excellent first question. The title is Becoming NADIA, and I wrote it because it threatened to (DELETED) my (DELETED) and melt my brain in a most grotesque and unprofessional manner if I didn't let it out.
 
What is your book about?

There's only one thing that pretty, popular TV reporter Nadia Velasquez is missing: her memory from before the explosion that killed everyone else in the room, including the President of Nigeria. But from the moment she meets FBI agent Jon Daniels, all hell breaks loose. Friends turn into deadly enemies overnight, and no one can be truly trusted.
When Jon and Nadia investigate further, they discover the living terror that is the truth behind Nadia's existence, a truth that could mean the death of millions.

 
Was your book inspired by anything or anyone?
 If it was, I'm afraid I would have to wrap my head in aluminum foil and hide under my couch. no, seriously, I had this dream one night where one scene just hit me with such a strong emotional force, it woke me up. The basis of the story was born then, and I just fleshed it out a little more.
Do you plan on writing a sequel?
Oh, most assuredly. In fact, it's under contract with the same publisher who picked up Becoming NADIA, and its title is Unalive.
 
How long did the book take you to finish?
Hard to say. The rough draft poured out of me like water, and was done 55 days after i first sat down to write it. Polishing and marketing kind of folded together into one conglomerated mess that took three more years. but I'd say that if I could actually separate the time, it would be about eighteen months.
 
And finally, what can we expect from you next?
Becoming NADIA is available April 1st from Muse It Up Publishing: tinyurl.com/4kkf5ox.  As I've mentioned above, the sequel, Unalive, is due out in August of this year. the third installment is currently in the works, and is titled Critical Mass.
 
Thanks for having me, Brandon. Feel free to check out the other great titles from museituppublishing.com.

I'm glad to have had you Keith and I can't wait to hear more about "Unalive" and "Critical Mass"!

     So, be sure to check out Keith's exciting book "Becoming NADIA" and his sure to be great sequels.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day readers! I'm taking a small brake from my writing but "FrostBite" is well on it's way and so is work on it's sequel. "FrostBite" should be landing on Kindles everywhere sometime this spring/summer, while news on "Echoes of The Sentinel" (the sequel to FrostBite) will continually be delivered to this very blog in the coming months and weeks.

Once again, happy St. Patrick's Day!

Book Update

Today I have a book update for you on FrostBite 2! FrostBite 1 will be published soon after the editing is all finished but I've been hard at work on making FrostBite 2 for a little while now.

Now, your probably thinking FrostBite 2 was not the most creative choice for a title and I agree that's why it's not the title. Instead the title is going to be "Echoes of the Setinel", more details on "Echoes of the Sentinel" will be released soon after the release of FrostBite.

As always, keep an eye on this blog for more info regarding all things FrostBite and my other works!
