The Next Big Thing

Fellow author Sarah Mussi www.sarahmussi.com  tagged me in her post The Next Big Thing and now it's my turn to answer ten questions about my work in progress. I have then to tag some fellow writers who will then tell you about their work in progress.

Result - you will be desperately waiting for a whole host of new work to be published!

What is the working title of your book?
Dragon Racer -  Book 3: The Silver Flame

Where did the idea come from for the book?

This is the third and final book in the Dragon Racer series and I wanted to tie things up with a spectacular end. The idea for a fight club came from various films (Fight Club/ AI). I also love thrillers like Spooks and the Bourne films.   

What genre does your book fall under? 

Adventure/Fantasy

Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?

Joanna Morris -  young unknown unknown waiting to be discovered

Isaac Ankama - young unknown unknown waiting to be discovered

Amber Penhaligon -young unknown unknown waiting to be discovered

Dominic Pieterson -  young unknown unknown waiting to be discovered

Excelsior- I have always imagined him voiced by Graham Norton

Spiky Mike  -Jonas Armstrong 

Afra          - Naomi Harris or Cush Jumbo

Hannibal     - Jadon Smith ( in a few years time)

Marius King  - Daniel Craig
Jamie Penhaligon-  Robert Pattinson

What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?

Marius King is intent on wreaking his revenge on Joanna and the Brixton Caves by destroying Excelsior in a dragon fight club. 
( Not too many spoilers there.)

Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency?

The book will be published November 2013  by Catnip Publishing

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

Still not finished -  2years plus (must get quicker)

What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?

Quick Silver by Sam Osman 

Secret Breakers series by HL Dennis 

I have deliberately not read the other dragon books out there at the moment to keep my ideas all my own.

Who or What inspired you to write this book? 

The first book in the series Dragon Racer: Book 1 First Flight was inspired by a the question, ’What is your secret self’ My answer was that I wanted to fly racing dragons.

Fans have kept asking for another book. 

What else about your book might pique the reader’s interest?

The love interest between Joanna and Isaac
