As part of the Next Big Thing Blog Hop, I was asked to answer some questions about the book I’m currentky working on. Now, I promise to answer these questiosn as best I can and I hope you find the answers entertaining.
–
–
What is the working title of your book? Stranded
–
Where did the idea come from for the book? I wish I knew. Somewhere in the depths of my demented mind.
–
What genre does your book fall under? Its an M/M Romance with a bit of thriller thrown in for good measure.
–
Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition? Johnny, tall and lanky, sort of geeky would be played by the guy who does Sheldon on The Bog Bang Theory. As for Kendall, I keep thinking a young Viggo Mortenson.
–
What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book? Kendall and Johnny have been together for a long time and the passion has waned to the point wthat Kendall thingks Johnny might be having an affair. When Kendall is offered a part in a movie, Johnny encourages him to take it, but refuses to go with him. On top of that Kendall picks up a stalker while filming and ends up stranded and alone, doubting everything. Will all that doom their relationship or will it make them realize what they mean to one another. I know its more than once sentence, but that was the best I could do.
–
Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency? It will hopefully be published by Dreamspinner Press.
–
How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript? I am writing it now. The draft is over half done. I’ve been working on it for 12 days.
–
What other books would you compare this story to within your genre? None that I’ve read. This is a departure for me and I just hope it isn’t total crap.
–
Who or What inspired you to write this book? I wish I knew.
–
What else about your book might pique the reader’s interest? This story is untimately about reflecting on what you have and hanging on to what’s truly important.

I’d love to hear what you think
A bit of a thriller! I was wondering if you were gonna do one of those. I am so ecstatic! I love thrillers and suspense stories! Paranormals are my most favorite, But one from my favorite author is just amazing! Thank you! Can’t wait to read it. What date are you shooting for it to come out?
I don’t have a date yet. Probably sometime this summer or fall. I’m glad you’re excited about it. I’ve never written one before so we’ll see how it comes out.
I’m in awe of your writing speed, Andrew. You must be a very disciplined author!
Thanks. The stories just come to me.
