Hi! A.C. here, and we at The Writer’s Block are so excited about our first Author Talk! Today, we have Mel N. Choly hanging out with us. She is the co-author of The Orion trilogy, to be published soon, and is working on numerous personal projects.
1. Mel, can you tell us why you started writing? What motivated you? Why do you love it?
What began my sad existence as a writer? I write so everyone can have the joy of reading how I think. My motivation is to give people a world where they can lose themselves in a totally unreal existence. And I love it because I’m an artist. It’s just what I do. I’m a very specific artist, also.
2. What are you currently working on?
3. What do you struggle with as a writer?
4. Some watch movies, read books, or look through magazines. What are your main forms of motivation and inspiration?
In conclusion, I prefer to to read other books that are like my own.
5. Can you tell us what it was like to co-author a book? Was it difficult? Were there any slappy fights between you and your co-author?
6. You mentioned you were working on The Tower Series. Can you tell us more about your upcoming series?
In an island named Saquraphine, there are seven ancient rings forged long ago for the protection of the land. When a dark, magical fog invades the land, poisoning the soil and sea, the rings come in handy once again to lock up this powerful creature in a tower, so long as the bearers of the rings keep the rings on.
thousands of years later, the story begins with a twelve year old boy names Jec, living with his adopter and teacher, Thymas, in a little library. One fateful night, Jec believes he’s found one of the ancient rings that Thymas has told him so much about. But if no one is wearing it, and the strange, mystical history of Saquraphine is true... The magical fog’s tower must be weakening, and the creature inside has had years to plan a perfect escape. So it is poised, ready to strike, but it has to wait for the perfect moment, when its prison has weakened enough for it to emerge. No one knows when that moment may be, so Jec is forced into a crazy adventure with eight unlikely friends, two unearthly stalkers, and one very powerful villain.
7. Finally, Mel, we come to the biggest question of all. Why are you so melancholy?
