Fiction Scribe

Hello, Ms. Storm! Welcome to Fiction Scribe.

By way of introduction, tell us five words that words that describe you as a person.

Wow, five words. I like that. Lessie: schizophrenic, loud, easy-going, adventurous, story-teller.

You’re currently on virtual tour with your book , Synarchy. Can you tell us about the book?

In their quest to dominate the world, a powerful crime family, the Terenzios, discovers who the real players are that control the planet, and just how far they’re willing to go to keep their hold on humanity. Because of sheer arrogance, and the fact that they may be the only ones who can, the Terenzio family decides to fight back. Now, they’ve got until December 21st, 2012, to stop a sinister, centuries old plan and give Earth a choice it was never given before.

What got you started on writing this book?

Synarchy was the culmination of a very personal journey for me, and that urge every writer has whose got a story to tell that just has to come out. I don’t just want to entertain, I want to mix in what I think are some important concepts for our times. Ideas that take us out of the mundane and into the possibilities of the fantastical.

It is my intent that someone will read Synarchy, find something in there that perks their interest, go look it up and it will be the catalyst that starts them on their own journey of awakening.

If you were a character in your novel, what would your character be like?

My character would be the investigative journalist; knows everyone, mildly manipulate, busily putting the events taking place onto paper.

Who was/were your biggest influence(s) in your early writing life?

I actually didn’t have anyone that really influenced me. I’ve just generally always had the urge to write something, and I’ve stuck with it, even when I didn’t know I wanted to seriously pursue this as what I’m going to do with my life.

What do you feel is the most important thing for a writer to remember?

First thing’s first; tell an awesome story.

What are you working on now?

The big project right now in between marketing and promotion for Book One, is getting Book Two finished. I also want to write Stefano’s story but I want it to be a graphic novel so I’m starting to collaborate with a comic artist who is a good friend of mine. We’ll see what comes of that.

Where do you see yourself in ten years?

On an island, juggling a small publishing company and an online RPG that rivals WoW (World of WarCraft), in between lots of traveling. I love to travel.

When you’re not writing, what are you doing?

Playing with my dog, reading, meditating, or out and about in the French Quarter and Marigny causing trouble.

Is there anything else you would like to share?

I want to thank you, JM, for giving me the chance to swing by and chat with you! And I hope your blog visitors enjoy reading Synarchy as much as I did writing it.

Thank you for your time. I wish you great success with Synarchy.
