I have no shame. I'm stealing a friends identity. No, not for myself. I could never reach the heights of this glorious individual. I'm stealing her identity for my next book. I've already warned her of the kidnapping and she doesn't seem to mind. I guess her identity is something she is willing to surrender willingly. I, however, would be less likely to accept such an offer.
For one, my life is quite boring. So anyone that would want to use my identity for a new book would have my deepest sympathies because they will surely only sell four copies of the book. One for myself, one for the author to place on his or her bookshelf, one for the author's mother and one for my mother (who loves pretty much any book).
I'm not going to use my friend's name. OK, maybe just her first name. It really is a fabulous name. But NO HINTS. I'm not going to use her full name. I won't even tempt you with her actual employer. I will only tease you with the fact that she is very adventurous, fun, glamorous, and unlikely to make fun of me when, scratch that, IF my book flops.
For my next nail biting novel I am trekking through he beautiful and overwhelming streets of Nepal. I had the idea of writing this story before the terrible earthquakes hit, so I'm teetering on thoughts of including the disaster. I'm eighty percent sure I will avoid any mention of the catastrophe because it's just too hard for me to fathom in real life. I can't imagine trying to tackle it in a book with any semblance of understanding. I can barely watch the news of the event. It's heart-breaking to see what the people have gone through.
So the book will be taking place prior to April 2015.
I'm still not finished with the third book of my last series so I may be flip flopping back and forth between novels. Hopefully I'll be able to keep all the characters straight. I found myself mired in writers block with the last book because I made the plot line too difficult to sort out, so I'm going to have to do some serious cutting on that one. I figured that starting with a fresh little novelette would give me a pleasant enough break. Enough of a break that would bring life back to my addled mind.
So here I go, diving into a Nepalese mystery that will hopefully excite readers and make my friend-of-stolen-identity very happy.
