BANTER
– STUFF ABOUT YOU
Q: Are you a morning
person, or a midnight candle burner?
A: I´m a morning
person. I get up early to go to the gym and I prefer to work on my books in the
morning too—my brain works better. It is the best part of the day to create new
things.
Q: When you think of
a garden, do you picture vegetables or flowers?
A: Flowers. I love
them, and their aroma. They have the power to calm me down, and they are
beautiful. A garden is a wonderful place to sit down, read a book, and get
ideas to new books.
Q: If your life were
a movie would it be considered an action film, comedy, drama, romance, fantasy
or a combination?
A: It is a difficult
question. I think it would be a combination of all of them. I try to have a
balanced life, but sometimes I lose control of everything and have to reconnect
with myself. LOL. I also try to keep things interesting, routine bothers me,
therefore, I need some action and fantasy.
Q: Did you like
school when you were a child?
A: No, I didn´t. L School was the worst experience of my life. The other students
bullied me and I had to travel because I lived in a small city and there weren´t
schools there, so it became very exhaustive. Plus, I had some terrible
teachers.
Q: Snack of choice –
chips, pretzels, popcorn, or cookies, cake, candy? Or maybe you’re a healthy
snacker - fruit, yogurt, nuts, raisins?
A: I´m a healthy
snacker, except when I´m in the cinema. Cinema and popcorn is a perfect
combination.
Q: How do you feel
about exercise?
A: I love it! I
practice dancing, yoga, bodybuilding, and kendo and kenjutsu (a Japanese
martial art with swords). I use to exercise eleven hours a week and it makes me
feel good and strong. Plus, it increases my creativity.
BOOKS
– ABOUT THE CRAFT
Q:
Where do you get your ideas?
A: I get ideas from
everywhere: books, movies, real life, funny and creepy events, words…
Everything inspires me. Sometimes I start a book from the title. I hear a word
and think, It will be a wonderful title,
then I develop a story.
Q: How did you come
to write your genre of choice?
A: Reading fantasy
and sci-fi novels. Having the power to create a new and fictional world is
fantastic. To be a good writer you need to read a lot and reading the genres
you write gives you new ideas; besides, you see what other writers have worked
on.
Q: Who's your favorite
author?
A: Dan Brown. I love
his compelling writing and the way he catches the readers´ attention, his
descriptiveness is incredible and keeps me whole-heartedly engaged into his
stories. I can´t stop reading his books until reaching the last page.
Q: Your favorite
title?
A: Deception Point.
Q: Would you ever
consider a joint project?
A: I don´t think so.
I work very fast and it´s hard for me to find somebody to keep up with me.
People who slow me down make me nervous. I prefer to work alone and keep my
rushed rhythm.
Q: Which of your own
releases was your particular favorite?
A: I can´t choose
one. It is impossible. I love all my books, all my characters—even the
villains. I feel like a mother having to choose a favorite kid. LOL.
Q: Do you write long
hand first, or does it go straight into the computer?
A: It goes straight
into the computer. I don´t like to waste time. I don´t like to do the same
thing twice, that´s why I don´t like to edit my books, but I have to.
Q: Do you always know
how a story will end when you begin writing it?
A: I usually do. I
have the whole story in my mind, only once I changed the ending.
Q: How long does it
take you to create a novel?
A: About four to five
months. I usually write two chapters a week.
Q: Do you like to
read the genre that you write?
A: Yes, I do. That is
why I write fantasy and sci-fi novels.
BOOKS
- NOW LETS PROMOTE – STRUT YOUR STUFF
Q: What are you
working on now? Would you like to share anything about it?
A: I´m editing Dragon
Princes #3—Dragon´s Ally. Book #2—Dragon´s Memories—is ready; Liu, Wei, and
Kate will have to face menacing creatures to recover the second eye of the
dragon. One of them is about to abandon the team.
Q: Do you have a new
book coming out soon? Tell us about it.
A: Yes, I do. ‘The
Dark Side’ is the book #1 of a vampire series called ‘Nocturnal Secrets’. The
book will be released in three or four months.

SYNOPSIS:
Three lives
separated by time and land, connected by curse.
Two princes from
the Dragon´s Dynasty, Liu and Wei, are cursed and condemned to live as dragons.
After two centuries their fate changes when Kate appears in their lives and
they are able to return to their human form. However, the curse isn´t broken
yet.
To break the
curse, the princes must recover the eyes and heart of the Great Dragon. As Liu,
Wei, and Kate embark on a journey to the Palace of Jade in search of the first
eye, they´ll have to face mythological creatures and immortal warriors. They´ll
have to face death too, and prove that they are honorable men to save Kate´s
life.
They´ll be tested
as never before. They´ll discover feelings they never imagined existed. They´ll
have to fight like wild warriors.
A curse can be
broken… but at what cost?
Excerpt:
Liu interfered pushing her away and handling his swords. A Phoenix put forward its talons, opened its beak and kept the wings spread. Liu put his left leg back, adjusted his center of gravity, and slashed at the bird. He held her shoulder firmly and looked straight in her eyes. “Don´t chicken out. You kill them or they kill you.”
She nodded, panted, prepared the arrow and shot one after another with a skill that she was unaware she had. The Luan-Bird emitted a sad sound when it was hit, like a lamentation that produced a guilty sensation and made you feel like the nastiest person in the world. The Phoenix, on the other hand, burned fiercely, reduced to ashes and a new young Phoenix arose before the ashes disappeared in the dark hole.
Wei twisted the spear so fast that his movements were almost imperceptible; he defeated many birds with triumphant and lethal blows. The newborn Phoenixes flew away and the Luan-Bird vanished into thin air. He smiled and celebrated the victory for a very short space of time. A noise like a thunder broke the celebrations.
Liu shouted. “Run!!!”
They sprinted across the bridge. Kate crashed onto the sides against the ropes that supported the bridge. Liu grabbed her arm and steadied her. She liked to feel his hand on her; she felt cozy, protected, but that wasn´t the time to think about good sensations; they were running to save their lives.
Wei stopped abruptly. “Go back!” He ordered and held the spear in front of his body.
Liu pulled her behind him; a spooky beast ran toward them. It was enormous and had the body of a tiger and nine heads with human like faces; its body covered by a green and blue hair.
“Kaiming,” Liu whispered and stepped back.
Kate moved fast when she saw other beasts reaching the bridge.
The boys lifted their weapons. Liu ordered her to hurry. First, Kate thought that she should stay and fight; second, she considered running away; in the worst-case scenario she´d die either staying or running. If the brothers couldn´t stop the beasts and they weren´t able to reach the other side of the bridge, their journey ended there.
As the boys moved back, she chose the second option. She planned to gain space and shoot the beasts to give them a better chance. Kate glided her hand on the rope to steady herself while she ran. She wobbled; her uncoordinated feet tripped, but she continued as fast as she could.
Kate was going to help; she got to the middle of the bridge, soon she might be near the other side and she´d able to help them. She could be useful; she´d be helpful. However, her happiness lasted just a short while; the rotten wood broke, opened a hole in the bridge and dragged Kate to the abyss. Her hands looked for something to hold, nothing was strong enough to support her weight.
“Liu!” Kate yelled while she drifted away.
