TNBT is an enjoyable exercise to help promote authors and
their work in the form of a chain letter. One author tags another author or authors and so on. Each person answers a questionnaire about
their current work, places the results on a blog or web page and adds their name to the bottom of the list. Next they mention it on
Facebook, Twitter or some other social media vehicle. I'd like to thank Britt Vasarhelyi, who
just published her exciting new thriller, Escape To Panama, for tagging me. My tag goes to a stimulating new author, Rafael Pizarro, www.rafaelpizarro.com, whose memoir is currently titled, Letters to Dangerous Women. Rafael's writing, based on life experiences, is sometimes funny, sometimes sad but always
gripping. His characters are often painfully real.

My Q & A:

project?)
A
Trace of Evil
Where did the idea come from for the book?

What genre does your book fall under?
Paranormal
mystery
Which actors would you choose to play your characters in
a movie rendition?
Keira
Knightley and Chace Crawford
What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?

Dani
Trent, fearing for her safety, escapes the clutches of a controlling boyfriend, only to find
she’s sharing her new home in Salem with a controlling 18th century ghost.
Will your book be self-published or represented by an
agency?
Unless
I have to beat the agencies away from my door, I will probably be self-pubbed.
How long did it take you to write the first draft of
your manuscript?
I
wrote a 53,000 word first draft during National Novel Writing Month. That was
three years ago.
What other books would you compare this story to within
your genre?
Vamps
and shape shifters are more popular now than ghosts but Heather Graham has some
good ghostly mysteries. I particularly liked “The Séance.”
Who or what inspired you to write this book?
My best friend, Reba, who died too
young, always pushed me to write. However, the intervention of my muse, who
added a supernatural element to every story I tried to write, inspired the
birth of my macabre tales. And, so, I gave up on the cozy in progress and
penned a paranormal.
What else about your book might pique the reader’s
interest?
A
little humor and romance to offset the chills, a trip through Salem, MA in the
18th Century and a more entertaining glimpse into Salem, today.
