What's involved? Answer the questions below and tag a
set of authors. So here goes…
What is the working
title of your book?
If you read this blog regularly you’ll know I find titles
difficult, and generally I’ve finished the first draft before coming up with a
title, which is exactly where I am with the current work in progress. It’s only
had a name for a month or so, but I’m pretty happy with it - Lies of the Dead.
Where did the idea
come from for the book?
I wanted to write a book with two
possible storylines – think Mapping the Edge or the film Sliding Doors. The main character is Liam, however all
through my initial thinking period it was Tom’s voice (Liam’s brother), which
kept coming through in the scenes. The dual storyline wouldn’t work with Tom as
the POV character, and so I’ve put that idea away for a future novel, but I'm happy with the way the story is moving.
What genre does your
book fall under?
Thriller/mystery
Which actors would
you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?
Now that’s a hard question as I read a lot more books than I
watch films, but here goes…
The story revolves around the character Liam, although we
find out more about him through the other characters, but I guess in a film
version they’d do more flashbacks. Ryan Gosling would make a good Liam.
Tom is Liam’s brother and I think Jake Gyllenhaal would do
an excellent job playing the role. Tom is a nice guy, but during the novel has
to take on people and events way out of his comfort zone, and I think Jake
would cover off those changes in character well.
Andi is Tom and Liam’s sister, and is a feisty character.
Emily Blunt would do a fantastic job.
And for the authors I’ve tagged – have a look at their websites and books.
