NEXT BIG THING BLOG HOP

 Uncategorized  No Responses »
Apr 162013
 

Thank you to the fabulous and talented Shanyn Hosier for inviting me to participate in the Next Big Thing Blog Hop. The blog hop serves to highlight new releases and introduce other authors. Shanyn’s genre is vastly different from mine, but the lady sure weaves some emotion-packed stories! Check it out: http://shanynhosier.com/

Anyway, the blog consists of a series of questions about the author and his or her book. Here goes:

1. What is the working title of your book?

I currently have two in progress, Through the Darkness and The Ruins. (Or From the Ruins – I’m flip-flopping on that one. What do you think?)

2. Where did the idea come from for the book?

The concept of From the Ruins sprang from some of my own personal experiences and challenges – although not nearly as intense, nor including any threat of death, mind you. That one will be a lot more personal on some levels than my previous books. Through the Darkness developed as a result of a very bizarre and disturbing incident I had one night when awakened from sleep. Puzzling over it afterward (now, even years later) elicited other questions/puzzles I suppose I need to pursue perhaps for my own edification.  

3. What genre does your book fall under?

Both are romantic suspense with Christian elements.

4. What actors would you choose to play the part of your characters in a movie rendition?

Hmmm. I’m not much of a movie watcher. Although I might recognize the face of many actors, I can’t remember their names for the most part. Despite that, definitely Sandra Bullock could play the role of Alyssa in Through the Darkness. Alyssa is much like many characters Ms. Bullock has played: sassy, joke-cracking, and kick-ass when she needs to be.

5. What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?

One sentence? Sorry, can’t do it.

Through the Darkness: Murder. Spirits. Love & Faith. Can Alyssa’s love lead Judd through it?

From the Ruins: When everything falls apart…to the point where life is on the line. Colin’s love has proven insufficient. Can newfound faith win Deborah back? Or will either of them survive?

6. Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency?

I expect to self-publish both, primarily due to the difficulty placing a romantic suspense with ‘sensual’ heat level and Christian theme/elements in any particular genre or category. A little tough to market, it seems. Nonetheless, I hope readers will like my work and tell their friends.

7. How long did it take you to write the first draft of the manuscript? 

Still in process and incomplete. No telling. Although I do have my spurts, I am not a fast writer.

8. What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?

I haven’t read anything like what I write, so can’t think of anything to which to compare them.

9. Who or what inspired you to write this book?

While hoping I don’t come off as obscenely full of myself, I do believe that my drive/compulsion to write is prompted by God’s plan for me.

10. What else about the book might pique the reader’s interest?

The fact that they are inspirational but also include sensual romance and what I believe are real-life challenges and situations faced by fallible Christians and those who don’t yet consider themselves Christians. Ultimately, the message is that love is profoundly and universally powerful. My hope is to encourage and hearten readers of any faith.

KIRKUS REVIEW FOR ‘FROM THE SHADOWS’

KIRKUS REVIEWS – BOOK REVIEW for FROM THE SHADOWS

“A hot summer romance with Christian themes, titillating realism and a guilty conscience.

The plot doesn’t lose its steady pace after the steamy bedroom scene, since a secondary storyline emerges when Bryce and Kendall encounter danger from the drug cartel, which keeps the pages turning. Christian romance fans who don’t mind some R-rated language and a lovemaking scene will find satisfying lessons in faith.” – Kirkus Reviews

Review by: Shanyn Hosier on Oct. 23, 2012 :  Smashwords.com star star starstar star
Emotional powerhouse of a novel!

“Eyes of a Stranger” is a wonderful metaphysical exploration of faith, romance, and destiny. A beautifully inspiring love story is deftly woven into nail-biting suspense, mystery, and cunning plot twists. Francine’s second release shows more of her great promise, and proves “From the Shadows” was no fluke.
(reviewed within a week of purchase)

This review is from: Eyes of a Stranger (Paperback)

Having always viewed life as a journey, while this is a work of romance and suspense, it also prompts thoughtful consideration of life’s anguish and joys.
Surprising in content, challenging in thought this is a significant venture through romance and all the responsibilities of the human experience.

This review is from: From the Shadows (Paperback)
Unique with its passion and principles, this modern day love story holds intrigue and desire to the very end. Simmering sexuality and underworld cartels combine to make this first novel a captivating narrative. Sophisticated with sizzle.

4.0 out of 5 stars A strong debut novel from Annette Francine, October 17, 2012

This review is from: From the Shadows (Kindle Edition)
Set in quaint Key West, Florida, the “shadows” of a dark underworld of drug smuggling threaten the peaceful neighborhood of Kendall Smith. But the piratical man she suspects is responsible is not only undeniably sexy, he’s not what he seems.
Francine captures the quirkiness of life in such a distinct setting with lovely descriptions, interwoven with thrilling suspense, complex character development, and riveting sexual tension. The drama culminates in fantastic action scenes, leaving the reader breathless. Hero Bryce is a compelling concoction of tortured soul in a hot bod, while heroine, Kendall, is a believable and sympathetic good girl. Her mistakes show she is flawed, not hypocritical, and her reactions are reasonable, not holier-than-thou.
Looking forward to more from Annette Francine!

This review is from: From the Shadows (Paperback)
This was a wonderful debut novel by Annette Francine. The characters were well thought out with layers of complexity. Their words and actions remained true to their motivations throughout the entire story. The scenery was also very believable and appropriately detailed. You felt you were in the Keys. I enjoyed the twists and turns of the plot as well as the pacing. This was a good summer read and I wish the author much luck as she develops her craft with future novels.

This review is from: From the Shadows (Paperback)
This is quite a passionate adventure! I related so much to the heroine. The intensity of the passion and story never let up; I was on the edge of my seat. With each page turned I was more involved in the story. I found the writing to be exquisite with language that most writers don’t use to create vivid imagery for the audience. It was definitely a page turner for me. The writer was able to blend the world of romance and Christianity together successfully with steamy passion and morals. I loved it! A must read!

(REAL NAME)
This review is from: From the Shadows (Paperback)
Loved this book! It had been a long time since I have read a ‘real’ romance novel and it was refreshing to experience a ‘grown-up’ story, one that didn’t involve vampires, damsels in distress (well…) or the unrealistic naiveté of the heroine. I appreciated the credible description of the setting and found myself relaxing in the low-key vibe of the island. I would not have minded if the characters had to each work just a little harder to win each other over, but that is irrelevant when countered with the impressive way their longing was expressed and cleverly sustained.
I was especially happy with the ending. While it was anticipated (it is a romance novel after all) it guarantees nothing, leaving this story open for perhaps a sequel… Or two. I hope.

This review is from: From the Shadows (Paperback)
Annette Francine creates a story that keeps you wanting more.The romance is hot, but also sparks inner reflection. I recognized parts of myself in her characters. A good read!

By NJ Guy
I read this at the request of a friend. I’ve never read a book quite like it before (i.e. ‘Romance’) so I’m not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing when authoring this review. Since I wasn’t certain where the book was going to end up even halfway through it, I thought that was very good for a work of fiction. I was very surprised and enjoyed the plot twist. I knew that somehow the man and woman would end up together in the end, but was baffled how the main female character would manage to “right the ship” with the male character. The author did a nice job of including many small details throughout the book, “painting a picture” throughout. I could visualize quite easily in my mind the inside of the house, on the boat, locations, settings, etc., so that is probably my strongest accolade overall and one that is very important to me in fiction writing. All in all, an interesting and good read. It was definitely worth the time I spent reading it and that’s the best thing I can say about any book.

Ten Interview Questions for The Next Big Thing:

What is the working title of your book? I have 2 in process: The Ruins and Through the Darkness

Where did the idea come from for the book? Frankly, I have no idea. Scenes and characters spring to mind, seemingly out of nowhere. Many times they pester me until I get them recorded somewhere.

What genre does your book fall under? Romantic Suspense interwoven with Inspirational

Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition? Depends on which book is under consideration. With that said, Meryl Streep seems to me to transform herself with every character she portrays. Perhaps a much younger male & female version of her?

What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book? Me? ONE sentence? Oh, that’s funny. Here’s the best I can do. The Ruins: When everything falls apart…to the point where life is on the line. Colin’s love has proven insufficient. Can newfound faith win Deborah back? Or will either of them survive? Through the Darkness: Murder. Spirits. Love & Faith. Can Alyssa’s love lead Judd through it?

Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency? Probably going to self-publish

How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript? Unfortunately, years. Working on a few books simultaneously

What other books would you compare this story to within your genre? I haven’t read anything like what I write, so can’t think of anything to which to compare them.

Who or What inspired you to write this book? While hoping that I don’t come off as obscenely full of myself, I do believe that my drive to write is prompted by God’s plan for me.

What else about your book might pique the reader’s interest? The fact that they are inspirational but also include sensual romance and what I believe are real-life challenges and situations faced by fallible Christians and those who don’t yet consider themselves Christians.

Hello world!

Hello World. Welcome to Annette Francine’s blog and thank you for visiting.

I’ll start by saying that I don’t consider myself particularly brilliant, wise, remarkable or interesting, so I feel pretty silly and uncomfortable posting a ‘blog’. But, I’m told by my friends and associates in the business that this is what an author must do to market his/her wares. I don’t know how often I’ll be posting updates (my life is just not that interesting), but feel free to check back whenever you please.

My philosophy: try to be a decent human being, and try to leave this world in better shape than I found it. You may find that a recurring theme in my stories.

I live in the metropolitan Phoenix area. After writing romantic suspense intended for traditional publishers, but discovering that I could not suppress the Christian themes and understories that persisted in my books, I fully subjected myself to my muse; resulting in the novels you see listed here.

While I truly hope that my readers find my stories both encouraging and uplifting, my characters do not always portray and should not be expected to reflect good examples of Christian behavior nor my personal attitudes. My stories do include explicit language and sexual content, which may offend ‘conservative’ Christians–although that is not my intention.

It’s important to me to help others and improve the circumstances of those in need. At least half of the proceeds from my novels are donated to Care, St Mary’s Food Bank, and the Wounded Warriors Project. If you did not purchase my book(s), or have it/them purchased for you as a gift, please consider donating the equivalent funds to a reputable humanitarian charity. (This does not mean I’m giving you permission to pirate my work, though. All my work is copyrighted, so please obey the law.)

So, thank you again for your interest. Please feel free to send a comment. If you have a criticism to share, I promise to fully consider it and thank you for taking the time to write. God bless and guide you.
