What should readers expect from your next novel?
Adventure, girl power, telekinesis, atomic dispersion, you know, the usual, haha!
Joke aside, Lost in Amber is the story of three friends who get dumped/ served divorce papers the very same week. While dealing with the royal mess that is heartbreak, one of the girls, Zoey, discovers she’s been genetically altered with enhancements foreign to her world.
That’s when the adventure begins, and the romance, so watch out for that one!
Despite being a work of fiction, Lost in Amber is not a far-fetched story, I tried very hard to write a story that every girl can enjoy, even if she’s not a Marvel fanatic.
Have you profiled your readers? Let’s have a look at how you imagine your target audience.
I imagine Lost in Amber will be attractive for women more than men, and that’s due to the love story. I love a good love story just as much as any other reader.
What are some things you wish to accomplish in the near future?
I want to see my book out there, to be able to hold it and say “I did it!” I’d also love to visit Austria and go on a Sound of Music Bus Tour and sing all those songs that make me so happy.
What are the steps you usually take from writing your first draft to publishing?
Research, research, research. And then, of course, I’ve written quite a number of articles meant to assist the upcoming writer in the journey from writing to publishing: https://estherrabbit.com/category/writing-publishing/
Are you a plotter or a pantster?
Total pantster, my characters take me where they want to go. I’ve never had any plan while typing, nothing at all.
When I felt the story was growing more than my knowledge could handle, I stopped and researched, and I’m so happy I did because a whole new universe opened up to me.
You can’t write about genome editing without proper research, and although I’m a space nerd, I still had to do the work, read, ask around.
What’s your own definition of an author / indie author?
Whether traditionally published or self-published, an author is an author. What I’d like to stress though, is to respect the self-publishing industry and, if you’re an upcoming author, don’t neglect the quality of your work.
There’s nothing worse than a book swimming in typos or written in comic sans because the author decided to cut corners. Invest in a good editor, educate yourself in the art of typesetting, be that writer that does things right.
