Earthborn
– Release June 12
Synopsis:
Earthborn
is a faith-fiction thriller. Declan, Max and Olivia were old college buddies
that endlessly debated the existence of giants, or Nephilim, in biblical times.
When they are reunited for a mass murder investigation, they find that these
slayings were not committed by men. The 'fallen ones' had come to claim the
women who were worthy to bear their children, and once again, their offspring
would bring terror to the Earth. Two Secret Societies had fought against each
other for years. The Sodalitat had worked endlessly to prevent such a
shattering event from taking place. The Camorra did everything in their power
to bring upon the resurrection of the Nephilim, going as far as attempting to
recreate the creatures in a lab using viable DNA from excavated bones. A young student,
Clementine, gets caught in the crossfire between her favorite professor,
Olivia, and her best friend, Mae, when she is chosen. Women who are found
unworthy are slaughtered. The government finds a gene marker that allows them
to indicate if a citizen is a descendant of the Nephilim, and calls forth those
with distinct characteristics to be tested. Pandemonium breaks loose across the
world as citizens react to the news. Declan, Max and Olivia must find a way to
stop the cosmic event from coming to fruition.
The Interview
Can you describe Earthborn in 20 words?
Earthborn is a faith fiction thriller based on Genesis 6:4, which discusses
Nephilim.
How did you come up with the idea for Earthborn?
I was actually researching conspiracy theories and came across a History
Channel special about Nephilim. I thought it was a neat concept, so I took it
one step further… or two or three.
Describe a typical day when you are writing. Do you have any
pre-writing rituals?
During the winter, I love to curl up in my chair with my laptop, a throw and a
cup of coffee. I also love my writing gloves. During warmer months, my beverage
is changed to lemon water and I sit on my sun porch. Most of my stories are set
in the country at some point. The rural area surrounding my house is very
inspiring.
What came first, the characters or the concept for the
story?
The concept, definitely. But I love my characters.
If Earthborn became a movie, who would your dream cast be?
That’s an excellent question. I guess I would have to go with Claire Danes for
Olivia. I usually see Max as Alexander Skarsgard. James Van Der Beek would be
great as Declan. Clementine is harder for me to place. She’s such an
interesting character. Perhaps Emma Roberts?
Do you ever read the reviews about your books?
Yes. People say that I shouldn’t, but I always do.
Do you have any tattoos or piercings?
I have my ears pierced a few times, and a couple of tattoos. My favorite is the
apple tree on my back. I totally love it.
What is your biggest pet peeve?
Open drawers or cabinets. I can tell where every member of my household has
been by the trail of opened drawers and cabinets.
