1. Coffee Shop - Nikki/William
Information: This was made to honor two of my favorite characters from my novel, The Changed, Nikki Aldridge and William Evans. For the record, NO, THEY ARE NOT A REAL PAIRING. I think the concept of their relationship is interesting, how one is so depedent on the other.
2. The Walk
Information: It follows the story line of The Changed. It won't make much sense to anyone who hasn't read the manuscript.
FAQ because everyone seems to have the same questions
1. Does that trailer mean your books is going to be a movie?
How I wish I could say yes. But, no. The Changed, at the moment, is no more than a project of mine. I don't even have an agent. I made the trailer by piecing together clips from several movies and television programs. I highly doubt that my book will ever hit the big screen.
2. What are the Evans'?!
... I don't know.
3. Is the main character based on you? Are the characters based on anyone you know?
Nope, the main character (Nikki Aldridge) is very definitely not me. I'd supply you with all sorts of information but none of it would make sense unless you've read the draft. And no, the supporting characters aren't based on anyone I know either. They're influenced by my daily life, but I can't match up people in my story with people in reality.
4. All right then... can I read it?
Sorry, but probably not. I'm extremely protective of my story, and I'll only let those I trust get their hands on it. It's not that I think you'll all run away with my plot (I would be thinking far too highly of myself if I did), but I'm just tentative about anyone putting their eyes on it.
5. How long is it? How many words?
At the moment The Changed is a grand total of 334 book-sized pages.
6. Can I be in your story? Please?
I've probably been asked this question two dozen times and the answer is a solid no. The characters come from some far away place in my imagination and I'd do a horrible job at putting someone real into my story. Odds are, if you were inserted into the plot I'd change your personality completely.
7. If you get it published can I have an autograph?
I'm not sure why everyone insists on asking this but, sure, I'd love to give it to you.
8. How did you think of the idea?
That's a very good question. I'd like to know the answer myself, ha. Those who knew me in fifth grade will know that I was writing a story called Swords then which featured Jesse Evans and Nikki Aldridge at ten years old. The plot of that story would have made a good anime series, but not a good novel. As the years progressed, ideas from Swords mixed with other ideas in my mind and the whole plot sort of came together into something new, The Changed. Most of my ideas for The Changed came to me with I was either sick or half-asleep, so I suppose you could say some magical fairy came to me and dropped them in my head when I was absolutely senseless.
9. Are you going to write a sequel?
Whether The Changed becomes published or not, I'm definitely going to make a sequel. I'm in the process of plotting it right now, and my goal of 2010 is to finish the first draft.
