I was tagged by Clare M Davidson<\/a> and Margaret Alexander <\/a>and perhaps some others (so feel free to remind me) to do this blog hop. I thought it would be a perfect NaNo update to let you all know more about my new project! Here we go!<\/p>\n

What is the working title of your book?<\/strong> It’s currently a whole jumble of things so Untitled xP<\/p>\n

Where did the idea come from for the book?<\/strong> A college class where we were asked about how the world would be different if history had gone in another direction. Clearly I need to thank school for educating me and allowing me time to daydream about wip ideas…<\/p>\n

What genre does your book fall under?<\/strong> YA Alt History Mystery! Or Thriller.<\/p>\n

Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?<\/strong> Uhm, I dunno. I skipped this last time and I think I’ll skip it again. But I do have a fondness for Emma Stone as my MC.<\/p>\n

What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?<\/strong> In a world where the colonists lost the revolutionary war and the British Empire expanded, a group of\u00a0teenage citizens are drawn to participate in a celebratory contest for the Queen’s 50th Jubilee and discover there’s more to the contest than meets the eye.<\/p>\n

Yeah…it needs work…lol<\/p>\n

Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency?<\/strong> I’ve heard good rumbling from the agent world for YA Mystery or Thrillers so I’m going to try my luck there again.<\/p>\n

How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?<\/strong> *blushes* 16 days. BUT I am currently using NaNo to put it all together and will take several beta rounds before I feel like it’s a solid story.<\/p>\n

What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?<\/strong> I don’t actually know of many Alt Histories so it’s something I’m currently investigating.<\/p>\n

Who or What inspired you to write this book?<\/strong> I guess my Professor inspired me to write it with her question.<\/p>\n

What else about your book might pique the reader\u2019s interest?<\/strong> There’s a steampunk background, swoony romance and sherlock holmes style mystery!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Yay! Since I’m late posting this (was tagged weeks ago), I think I will open up the tagging to whoever would like to post about their NaNo wip!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
