As Authors we all dare to dream we will be next,
and well let’s face it you never know ... right?
With that thought I jumped on this Hop, what is a blog hop? Well I didn’t know until I asked.
Basically, it’s an Authors game of tag.
One Author posts, and then tags five other Authors, who each
link back to them. Exponentially it is a
marketing gold mine, and you my fair reader have hopefully just increased your
to read list. Finding New and Exciting
Authors you may never have found otherwise. Some of us are still writing, others are just being released. Either way, for you Fiction Lovers, a treasure
trove awaits and I’d like to thank fellow Author, Kathryn Jones for
tagging me to participate.

In this particular hop I and my fellow Authors each in their
perspective Blogs have answered 10 questions where you get to learn about our
current WIP (Works in Progress) as well as some goodies as to our process, from
characters and inspirations to photographic eye candy! I hope you enjoy it!!
If this or any other items pique your interest, please feel

FAQ’s on Michelle Renea Anderson Works in Progress
1: What is the working title of your book?
Laura’s Fence Posts
2: Where did the idea come from for the book?
A roommate at BYU told me about Fence Posts. She said that every time you add quality that
perfect guy has to have to your list that you are building a fence that will
keep him out. Saying things like he’s
too short, or he’s got to have dark hair, or no beards, just add to your
fence. She said that to finally find the
guy you have to rip out all the fence posts.
So this book is about Laura’s Fence Posts.
3: What genre does your book fall under?
Contemporary Romance
4: Which actors would you choose to play your characters in
a movie rendition?
I would choose an unknown girl with long brown hair in a
ponytail. And for the guy Sean Murray
from NCIS or some other normal guy with a cute personality.
5: What is the synopsis of your book?
Mike Andrews should have known
better than to bet with his cousin Shelby because she never gambled unless she
was sure to win. But he'd made the bet
anyway and now he had to go on a date with Shelby's friend.
Having just moved to Salt Lake to
escape a bad relationship, he told Shelby he wasn't about to start
another. But he'd do the honorable thing
to pay off his bet. He would take Laura
out on one date. How bad could it be?
Nurse, Laura Carter wasn't happy
about the situation either. She craved
adventure and excitement and while Mike looked attractive, he was just a boring
engineer who passed out at the sight of blood.
Things could never work out between them.
When Laura decides they should
just be friends things are just starting to get exciting.
6: Will your book be self-published or represented by an
agency?
I don’t know yet. It
is currently looking for a publishing home.
7: How long did it take you to write the first draft of your
manuscript?
3 months, rewriting
16 years. It helps if you actually work
on rewriting. In honest truth, I took
more than a few years off to raise my boys and deal with a perplexing
illness. I’m sure you’ll hear about that
in a future book.
8: What other books would you compare this story to within
your genre?
Shelby’s Plan, my
first book was an original according to my editor. I don’t know who to compare this sequel to. It’s like the
Bishop’s Bride by Elizabeth W. Watkins without so much church.
9: Who or What inspired you to write this book?
I had to finish the story of Shelby’s friend Laura.
10: What else about your book might pique the reader’s
interest?
Laura’s Fence Posts
is a sweet/LDS romance with a comical twist.

ReplyDeleteThank you for tagging me, Michelle. I like the "fence post" analogy. Sequels are fun to write, huh?
