IN THE STORM
1. I chose a purple Stormworld because the lightning in North Carolina was always purple. I’ve yet to see it anywhere else.
2. The character Mitchell was based on my brother Michael. I accidentally used his name twice in the original manuscript.
3. I purposely did not give my characters many physical descriptions, because as a reader I hate that. I always ignore them and picture them my way, instead.

I've yet to see purple lightning. I think around here it just might be plain white. I would love to maybe capture that lightning on camera.
ReplyDeleteOh Fringe is a favorite of mine too! I really hope they don't cancel it, things are just getting so interesting with the two Olivias:) And I can honestly say I've never seen purple lightning either, that would be amazing. Don't enter me, I just wanted to leave a comment!
ReplyDeleteOoo Massive Attack. Great answer!

I picture characters my way too. When they describe someone later in a book I get confused sometimes. I may have to visit North Carolina for the purple lightning. That would be awesome to see!! :) Thanks for the giveaway. I've heard great things about your book.
ReplyDeleteI love Massive Attack. I love when you find out random facts about your favourite authors that mean you have lots in common.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are missing out! The purple makes everything light up in the craziest way. It's breath-taking. Good luck with the giveaway!!
