Name of fiction work?
And were there other names you considered that you would like to share with us?
I have a mini-series that leads into a larger
body of work: Exodus Arcon book one (there will be three books in total),
which leads into my Chronicles of Arcon series: Alien Heart Book One.
Has this been published?
And it is totally fine if the answer is no. If yes, what publisher and what
publication date? Yes. You’ll find Exodus Arcon and Alien Heart both on Amazon.
What is the date you
began writing this piece of fiction and the date when you completely finished
the piece of fiction? Oh, lets see 2009. I
think. It was finished three to five years ago. Sometimes writing takes as long
as it takes.
What were your writing
habits while writing this work- did you drink something as you wrote, listen to
music, write in pen and paper, directly on laptop; specific time of day? I have a desktop computer that I currently
write on. And I have to have silence in order to concentrate. I can write all
during the day. Oh, writers have to wrap their hands around something warm
while they write, so I drink tea.
What is the summary of
your fiction work? I write out of this
world stories to leave you breathless.
Exodus Arcon Summary: With their planet about to be destroyed by solar storms,
the inhabitants of planet Arcon need to leave. They build three big spaceships
to cross the stellar reaches of space. Only their government and the most
gifted people can come. Everyone else has to take their chances with the
lottery.
But one family cheats.
Aziza must pretend her
consort’s brothers are her mates. Because Arcon justice is harsh and swift, the
brothers must never reveal to anyone that they aren’t truly mated.
Please include excerpt
and include page numbers as reference. The excerpt can be as short or as long
as you prefer. Exodus Arcon Excerpt: Paz picked his way through the scattered toys.
Like most young, unmated males, his long white-and-green hair trailed down his
back. Finally making it to Keefe, he gave him a hug.
Keefe looked down him.
“How are you, youngling?”
“Great! After my
school examinations, my instructors told me I will be a scientist.” A proud
smile lit his face.
“That’s wonderful,
Paz.” Keefe returned returned the smile, but pressure built in his chest. He
and Aziza had come to find out if his mother would be joining them. If she
didn’t go, his little brother wouldn’t either. Unfortunately, that would mean
Paz would have no chance at a future at all.
“I’ve been learning
about Earth. Did you know they have five fingers and five toes, instead of four
as we do?”
He waved his
four-fingered hand then wrinkled his nose. “Creepy.”
“Keefe, my offspring,
you have no greeting for your maternal unit?” Ynyr asked.
“My apologies, Ynyr.”
He approached his
mother, careful of the tubes that kept her alive, and embraced her. Then he
gently kissed her withered cheek. “How is the most gorgeous female in the
galaxy?”
“Flatterer,” she
scolded and fluffed her almost-white ponytail. Her lavender hair color was
nearly gone, an indication of illness. But she had been considered a great
beauty in her youth, and the males in her family continued to treat her as if
she still were.
“I have to ask your
mate something. Go stand by Neron.” She shooed Keefe away.
He obediently joined
the youngest of his three paternal units and gripped forearms with him. “What’s
this about?”
“Ynyr will be asking
something extremely hard of your mate. So, please be supportive of your
maternal unit.”
“Why?”
Neron’s expression
became serious. “It’s important for the survival of our family line, my son.”
Can you give the reader
just enough information for them to understand what is going on in the excerpt? Keefe and his mate Aziza have come to
Keefe’s parents’ home to see if his mother will be coming with them on one of
the three big colony ships that will be heading to Earth.
Why is this excerpt so
emotional for you? And can you describe your own emotional experience of
writing this specific excerpt? The Arcons are a dying
race. They need to go to Earth to set up a colony. They see Earth as they’re
new home and the only way they can survive.
